Vatican s Sombre Warning

(By Virgil M. Pinkley) Vatican City, Dec. 9.

Authoritative Vatican sources warned today that Soviet-American re- lations have so deteri- orated that "differences between the two colossus. may lead to a new con- flict" unless the present. trend is reversed.

This sombre warning emerged from conversations with policy. influencing officials of this tiny Catholic city state which is famed as the world's most thorough and most sensitive diplomatic ilsien- ing post.

I found the pessimism here is as deep if not deeper than in any of the other 10 European capitals 1 have vislied in the past three months. To specific question one high preinte, who has the con- fidence of Pope Pius XI replied: "Yes, the general outlook for [peace is much worse than a year

ago"

Top-ranking Vatican quarters stressed repeatedly that only a return to the Christian spirit and more emphasis generally on re- igious values by both people and their lenders can bring about diminution of internation bilter ness and misunderstanding. - Untied Press.
