(Continued From First Page) across the long hall to the transmitting room and pressed another switch to send the current flowing into the radio tubes. The Pontifl sat in a large, gilded armchair throne covered with red dam- ask. Before him on the wall was a wooden crucifix with a white figure of Christ. He was wearing a long white cassock with a red cape and white skull cap. A Iarge pectoral cross lay against the uf{-’mk' he text of the Pope's radio address, as translated from Latin into English, follows: - To all creation: ‘We, being through the high design of God, successors of the Prince of the Apostles of Him that in whose doctrine and preaching is destined through divine command for all peoples and for every creature, and being able for the first time to avail ourselves of Marconi's ad- | mirable invention here, we speak first to all things and to all men, speaking to them here and as follows with the words themselves of Holy Scripture. “Hear, O heavens, that which I shall say, and listen, O earth, to the words of my mouth. . “Listen, all people; lend your ear all you who inhabit the globe, united toward the same end. Both the rich and the poor. Hear, O islands, and listen, O distant peoples, To God—and let this be our first word—glory to God on high and peace on_earth to men of -good will. Glory to God who gives in our days such power to men of making their words arrive even to the confines of the earth. And peace on earth where we are representatives of that divine Jesus, the Redeemer, whose coming announced peace, peace to the far and peace to the near, pacifying in the blood of the cross both the things that are on earth as well as those in the skies. “Do Good to AIL” To Catholics—In speaking, then, to men, the apostle commands us to do good to all but especially to the servants of the faith. We must ther:fore address our first words to them, to all those who, making part of the family and fold of the Lord which is the Catholic Church, call us with the sweet name of Father. To fathers and to sons we speak, to the sheep and to the lambs, to all those whom the Shepherd and Supreme King Jesus Christ has con- fided to us in order to nourish them and guide them. ‘To the hierarchy—You, we say, our brethren, cardinals of the Holy Roman Church, patriarchs, archbishops, bishops, prelates and priests, distributed in the | different grades of the hierarchy, the principal object of our daily talks and at the same time the auxiliaries and kers of our labors: We pray and g that each of you remain faithful to that vocation in which he was called, and that each one of you walk worthily of the vocation to which you have been called. Nourish the flock of which is amongst you, forming ith all your heart your flock so that when the Prince of Shepherds appears you will receive the incorruptable crown of glory. Meanwhile the God of peace who had resurrected from death the great pastor of the sheep in the blood of the eternal testament, our Lord Jesus Christ, guides you toward every good 59 that you may fulfil His will, accom- plishing in yourself that which will be vlus&:-xx in his sight by means of Jesus Speaks to Religious. To the religious—and now we speak to you, oh sons and daughters of our predeliction who, emulating the best examples and seconding not only the precepts, but also the desires and coun- sels of Divine King and His spouse, in fidelity to your most holy vows and in the religious dicipline of all your life, perfume with Virgin fragrance the church of God, illuminate it with your contemplations, uphold it with prayers, enrich it with science and doctrine, cultivate and enlarge ever so much more with your ministry of the word and with the works of the Apostolate. “Partakers therefore in one vocation truly heavenly and angelic, so much more precious is the treasure that you bring as, the greater degree of diligence you use in conserving it, not only to Tender certain your vocation ard elec- tion, but also because the heart of the King and of your spouse might find in you, as in servants completely faithful and devoted, some consolation and reparation for the infinite offenses and negligences with which men return his | ineffible love. ! ““To missionaries—now our words turn toward you, oh, sons and daughters very dear in Christ, who in the missiors pray and work to propagate the holy faith of Jesus Christ and to extend His kingdom.

We salute you, oh stronge soldiers of Christ. But together with you we salute the native priests and good catechists, rincipal fruits and now colleagues and Ipers of your labors. To all faithful—Our heart turns toward you, to all who are faithful cit- 1zens of our episcopal city and of all the world: toward you especially who, like MATTER of TASTE —this thing of for sea food an for ateaks. chops. is eliminated dishes ure prepared with that distinction in flavor that popt Dining Room.

Message to Dissidents. Let your modesty, so well known to' all men, and all that which is true, all that which is pure, all that which is just, all that which is saintly, all that which is loveable and of good fame, every virtue and every laudable dis- cipline, form the object of your thoughts and be your works so that God may be glorified in everything and in every one. To infidels and dissidents—also to you our thoughts and our words turn as many of you are far from faith and from the unity of Christ. For you every day we offer prayers to God and the Lord of all, earnestly asking that He with His light illuminate you and guide you and unite you to the sheep | which hear His voice, and that there | be only one fold and one shepherd. To governors—and since we are debtors to all, we speak first to those who govern that they command in jus- tice and in charity, toward utility and edification, and not toward ruin, al- ways remembering that there is no power if not from God, and that to God they must render rigorous count. Speaks to Rich and Poor. To subjects—to subjects, then, we say, that they should obey their su- periors, not as toward men, but as to- ward God. knowing that he who resists legitimate authority resists the disposi- tions of God, and that he who in this way resists prepares damnation for ‘himself. To the rich—we speak to rich and to poor in this way: To the rich we say that they must consider themselves as ministers of Divine Providence -2d depositaries and dispensers of . goods, to whom Jesus Christ h'mself recommended the poor, and from whom the Divine Judge, then, will demand more because they have received more; and they must remember always the divine word, “Woe unto you, oh, rich.” To the poor—We exhort, then, in the Lord, the poor, who recall us to the poverty of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Remem! His examples and His promises, they should not abandon the gathering of spiritual riches, ren- dered so much more easily to them, and though attempting in so far as is| legal to better their ‘state, with good | selves agreeable to the Lord, and let them never extend their hands toward indquity.

They ex- change on the one hand the means and direction, and on the other hand the work of ability; and, not asking except what is just, and not denying what is just, let them strive in tranquillity and order, not so much for the benefit of the one, but for the good of all. To the afflicted and persecuted— last in execution, but first in our at- tention and in our affections, our word goes out to you, to all of you who are in infirmity and in sorrow, in tribula- tion and adversity, especially to you who suffer such terrible things from the enemies of God and of human society. While we offer for you our prayers and as much as we can, also our as- sistance, while we recommend you to the charity of all, we speak to you on the part of Christ whom we represent: “Come to me all you who are weary and afflicted and I will restore you.” ‘There remains only the imparting, with all our hearts, of the apostolic benediction to the city and to the world, and to all those who live in it, which we do in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. SPECIAL RITES AT C. U. Pontifical High Mass Follows Reception of Speech in Crypt. With high dignitaries of the church and many lay notables present, the voice of His Holiness, Pope Pius XI, celebrating the ninth anniverssry ot his coronation, was heard for the first time in this country during a celebra- tion held today in the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception at Cath- olic University. The Pope was speaking in station HVJ, newly installed broadcasting sta- tion in Vatican City, Rome. His speech, delivered entirely in Latin be- cause it is the one language understood by every Catholic priest the world over, was picked up by the National Broad- casting Co. and Columbia Broadcasting System and rebroadcast into the crypt of the National Shrine. Shrine Is Thronged. ‘The shrine was thronged. With Mgr. Pietro Pumasoni-Biondi, apos- tolic delegate, presiding, the mass was celebrated by Mgr. Paul Marella of the apostolic deiegation. o Mgr.

By the Associated Press. ROME, February 12.—The purpose of the new Vatican City radio station was explained today by its bullder and the inventor of practical wireless telegraphy, the Marquis Guglielmo Marconl, in an article published in I'Tilustrazione Vati- cana. The inventor addresses himself to_the entire Roman Catholic world, saying: “The radio station desired by his holiness, Pius XI, today makes his voice heard for the first time through the mysterious regions of space. “Catholicism, which before radio over- came the difficult barrier of distance, instituting the universality of the so clety of men through truth of the Gospel, finds today in this material in- strument a new and providential me- dium through which the august head of the Church of Rome causes to be heard his voice by all the faithful over the whole earth. Gives Direct Link. “Swiftly and subtly, like thought, the wave of the word carries the wave of the spirit that spreads with strength and warmth of truth. “The little state of the Pontiff today communicates directly with the great centers of our teeming industrial civili- zation as well as with the furthest and most hurable provinces of Christianity, where the legionnaires of evangelistic truth fight the daily and hard battle of the faith. “The voice of the radio, that in ship- wreck serves to invoke aid, and that to men of commercial society quickens the rhythm of industrial operations, is to- day utilized by the navigator who has risen above the tempests of history, who brings the succor of truth and who cares for the interests of all the faith- ful. Renders New Service. “The evangelic Catholicism of the church again is reaffirmed by the trans- mission of“she word of the Pope, who in divine truth is the master and who in the universal world of the soul is the sovereign. “The radio, which among the con- quests of science seem to touch most closely the regions of immateriality, to- day is exalted by this service which it renders in the purest and most univer- sal interest of the spirituality of Ca- tholicism.” scheduled time. The mass began as soon as the Pope completed his address, In a speech delivered from the altar of the shrine, Very Rev. John F. Fenlon, provincial of the Sulpicians of the United States, described the Pope as “unambitious, humble, devor gentle and studious disposition,” a man who “wished to spend his days in tran- quil study, rmote from strife and con- troversy and to spend his priestly life with studious administrations to the poor and young.” Too Fast for Shorthand. The Pope spoke with such rapidity that five priests, who are so expert in Latin that they can take it in short- hand, were unable to get a verbatim report of his address, Static contributed to their difficulty, but officials of the National Broadcas ing station, where the clerical stenogra- phers listened in, said the speed of the Pontiff was the chief factor.
