order, justice, and peace.
A tangible proof of these generous dispositions We have had in your
sending His Excellency Mr. Myron Taylor to Us, as your personal represen-
tative with rank of Ambassador Extraordinary. Special circumstances have
interrrupted his presence with Us, but We like to hope that the plan for
the attainment pf those high ideals you had in mind may yet be realized.
Indeed, We are not unaware of the efforts which you made to prevent
the catastrophic struggle that is heaping up ruin and sorrow for a great
part of the Old World; and in Our paternal solicitude for suffering human-
ity there is nothing We desire more ardently than to see true pece return
at long last among peoples, who have been too long and too painfully
stricken and afflicted:- that true peace, We mean, that will adjust all
wrongs, that will recognize with well-judged equity the vital necessities of
all, and thus mark for the world a the beginning of a new era of tranquility,
collaboration and progress among peoples under the longed-for reign of
Christian justice and charity.
While We renew the expression of Our good wishes
