enemy of true democracy and of its ideal of liberty and equality" Asserting that very often so-called pure democracy hides the worst defects of democracy the pontiff stated that democracy could be realized in monarchies as well as republics provided national leaders "look upon themselves as representatives of the entire people and not as mandatories of the mob" In speaking of the unidentified "enemy of Christ" the Pope exclaimed "What a spectacle is that of a democratic state left to the whims of the masses" in which "equality degenerates to the mechanical level of a colorless uniformity" wherein survivors are the deluded victims of those "who have known how to use the power of money and organization in order to secure a privileged position above others and to have gained power"

evening the crisp air of the Ardennes throbbed with the sound of Allied bombers racing against darkness and their steady drone frequently was lacerated by the ghastly screams of fighter planes in combat On the hard ground white with frost our tanks prowled and clanked to their night positions almost drowning out the conversational crackle of machine guns Rifle shots were as whispers against the roar of heavy artillery and the whole angry cacophony of the western front's most desperate battle Night fell quickly under a dazzling carpet of stars and in the transition from daylight to darkness an uneasy silence momentarily gripped this sector The bombers thrummed to nothingness and even the big guns were content with fitful fire Calls for Sanctions Declaring that if aggressors feel they will be punished by the whole world a new world will arise out' of the darkness the papal leader called for economic and military sanctions against such aggressors within the framework of justice In his speech before the college of cardinals the pontiff denounced those whom he claimed were trying some by violence to gain "keypoints of influence" in a war born out of a "frenzy for novelty" "At a time when errors widely spread here by violence there in poor disguise strive to secure the direction of public opinion and the keypoints of influence" the Pope said "at a time when the words liberty independence and democracy are for some trends of thought and ambition only a means to chloroform the vigilance of those whose fidelity would never consciously allow itself to abandon or endanger the heritage left them by their whole Christian 1 past at a time when more deftly than ever the enemy of Christ and his church in the words of the apostle of the gentiles tries to transform

wiles of prevalent errors" "The souls of a large proportion of men" he said "are pervaded by restless agitation such as perhaps has no parallel in any of the graver crises of history It is agitation in which good and evil are strangely mingled to create and destroy to set up order and to overthrow it New Things Not Always Best "To this agitation there is associ- ated in many minds an almost in-

masses as a result of the war and its attendant trials there also has entered the world a desire for reform and a urge toward its realization in one form or another" the pontiff continued asking:
