The great Pontiff conceived this worthy purpose in sending him to Buenos Aires, where Pacelli was able to meet the dignitaries of the church from all the western hemisphere and to get that touch so necessary for the understanding of people. Precedent was broken when the Pope's chief adviser traveled six thousand miles from Rome. But it achieved its purpose. His successor was to know South America.

The Warsaw nuncio said he was glad to do it but thought the nuncio to Berlin should participate, too, so as to have both sides of the question presented.

It was there that he knew Pacelli. The Berlin nuncio's astute, tactful and comprehensive judgment made an impression upon him.
