human conduct than has marked the past. All the segments  
of social and economic life that were present in a reasonably happy world   
prior to the first world war, and many of which  
were even present prior to the present war, will have to be  
refitted into au international pattern and that pattern too will have to   
be changed. Certainly many of the segments will have to be reconstructed   
and refitted. Agreements to reconstitute and improve conditions are

At a later date I will prepare a formal statement regarding the welcome   
I received from His Holiness and all others associated with him in the   
Vatican Organization, its related and subsidiary agencies. I wish to say

that "his doors would be open day and night" without appointment, to me.   
In the war period I have had at least one weekly audience, usually of an   
extended character with His Holiness and have enjoyed a relationship of   
complete confidence and understanding. This intimate relationship has   
proven to be one of the great experiences of my life and for it I am most   
grateful. When the day comes that I shall not return here for extended   
                         periods I
