hours b for peace 'URDAN By GEORG AP Fealure Service VATICAN CITY, Mar. 1—Pius XII, on the f{irst anniversary of his election as Pope, March 2, faces the bitter realization of two of the church's worst fears. War in much of Europe and com- munism on the march are th standing world developments Pius XII's .year as pontiff The Pope has borne up well der tremendous burden. His first seven months of p and struggle against the onrush- ing in vain, Pius XII has been forced into the role of an an- guished observer of European al- fairs, doing what he can to re- strain the horrors of the conflict and watching for a chance to lead the way back to peace. The Pope in monastic se- verity He works and studies till midnight, Tall, thin, ascetic, he has not spared his strength. The habits of keeping fit, eating sparingly and avoiding Juxuries have preserved his health. He will be 64 years old March 2, his birthday anniversary as well as the anniversary of his papacy out- of his war lives usually His Single Theme: Peace A diplomat of long training has used the same skill in handling the problems of the Catholic Church that served him so well when, as Eugenio Cardinal Pacelli, he was Secretary of State Anxiety has constantly beset him, ever since the day when he was called upon to pronounce Pius X1 dead. With rare excep- tions, the new Pope's every pub- lished utterance written or ver bal has had peace as its principal theme He has seen Catholic divided between Nazi Gerna and Communitsic Russia. He nus spoken feelingly of his hopes for Polish resurrection., He has de- plored the outbreak of war aud urged an ultimate peace that wiil avid errors of the past; Plan for an Armistice With the roar of hosile planc over Poland only & few hours ol Pius XII sent five desp notes to the governments c cerned urging a ment, Two weeks | new Belgian Ambe Holy See he was still every opportunity to seck clude a pear: honorabi one.” He tions rules of W ian populanun. t using poison gas, their prisoners well, g the comforts of religion His first encyclical, repeatedly postponed as the d oullos grew darkor, was a ¢ to s in the midst of war. His Christmas Eve the cardinals set forth a five base for an . eventual “just honorable peace. These recommendations were. 1.—Assure every nation's right life and independence 2.—Redeem mankind “slavery of armaments” armament 3. —Correct the faults in. such organizations as the League of Na- tions 4—Comply with the just demands of nations, and ethnical minorities.” 5. —Observe Christian principles. Shertly after the war began, there were stories that the Pove was fasting, even sleeping on the floor of his bedroom, and rising in the night to pray for peace. The rumors were believed because of his known tendency toward the monastic life. No “Prisoner of Vatican” Yet Plus XII has gone beyond the confines of Vatican City more times than any Pope, within the first year of election, since the Italian seizure of Rome made the pontiffs voluntary prisoners with- in the Vatican up to the Lateran peace of 1929. He has exchanged ceremonial yisits with Italy’s king and quesed, on a ruler of the kingdom.
