countries. His Holiness has on many occasions condemned this treatment of   
peoles and of individuals and has declared that the blessing or the   
malediction of almighty God would descend upon rulers according to the   
manner in which they treat the peoples under their rule.  This, Cardinal   
Maglione intimated, was quite a strong statement- as strong, in fact, as   
it is possible to make without descending to particulars, a course of   
action which would immediately draw His Holiness into the field of   
political disputes, require documentary proof, etc.  Manifestly, His   
Eminence added the Pope should not do this.  Mr. Taylor agreed that His   
Holiness would not be expected to desend to particulars, butonly to make   
his appeal on the Higher level.  his Excellency pointed out that thses   
declarations of His Holiness had been made some time ago and that it is   
generally felt that a renewal of the appeal might now be in order and   
would most certainly be wecomed.  To this Cardinal Maglione replied that   
he had the impression that as late os June 1942 His Holiness had denounced   
the maltreatment of the peoples of hte occupied countries. The difficulty,   
His Eminence said, lies in the fact that people have short memories in   
matters of this kind and that many would have the Pope speak out daily in   
denunciation of these evils.  At any rate, His Eminence assured Ambassador   
Taylor, the Pope will certainly avail Himself of th first opportunity to   
         restate His position in very clear terms.
