Pope Makes Strong Peace Plea

VATICAN CITY-Pope Plus XII in a 21-minute homily broadcast to the world today made the strongest peace appeal he has voiced since the war began.

But the pontiff apparently renounced any hope of a peace settlement in the immediate future, imploring Christians throughout the world to pray for God to intercede and aid the suffering.

Church quarters saw hints in the homily that this will be the Pope's final appeal and that he feels the solution henceforth is in the hands of God while man can only pray.
