Ambassador to the Vatican in 72
years.
From 1848 to 1867 this country,
like all other nations, maintained
a diplomatic representative to the
Holy See, entirely apart from the
minister to the Kingdom of Italy.
But the temporal domain of the
Pope was ended in 1868, the Pa
pal States were absorbed into the
Kingdom of Italy, and the head
of the Roman Catholic Chinch
became the "prisoner of the Vat
ican" until the differences be
tween the State and the Church
were smoothed out by Premier
Mussolini and the i independent
nation of Vatican City, with the
Pope as its temporal ruler, was
set up in 1930.
By the appointment of Myron
C. Taylor as "Peace Ambassador"
to Vatican City the President has
joined the 25 other heads of na
tions whose influence is being
united with that of the Catholic
Church in the effort to bring
about a settlement of the Euro
pean situation by the moral pres
sure of the forces of organized
Christianity, of which the most
powerful in the nations of Cen
tral Europe is unquestionably the
Pope and his following.
Able As a Negotiator
By picking Mr. Taylor for this
new post, the President has chos
en an Ambassador of whose qual
ifications little can be said in
criticism. Mr. Taylor was form
erly chairman of the United
States Steel Corporation, and is
THE ELKIN TRIBUNE. ELKIN. NORTH CAROLINA
recognized in the world of busi
ness as a man of high standards
of honor and fair dealing, and
espepially able as a negotiator.
Born and bred a Quaker, and so
imbued with the peace-loving
tenets of that sect, Mr. Taylor Is
now a member of the Protestant
Episcopal Church, he is, how*
ever, a personal friend of the
present Pope who, as Cardinal
Pacelli, visited the United States
several times and was a guest at
Mr. Taylor's New York home, and
has also been his guest at the
villa which the new Ambassador
maintains in Italy.
The efforts of the Pope and of
the heads of the other Christian
sects to discover a formula where
by "peace with honor" can be ne
gotiated between the warring
powers, are beginning to be re
garded in Washington official
circles as offering almost the
only hope of ending the war
without terrific losses, human
and economic, and consequences
in which the United States could
not escape involvement.
Revival of Spiritual Interests
That serious men of affairs, in
public and private lfte, should
turn to the ideals of religion in
time of crisis with serious hope
that this approach may be effec
tive, is an interesting commen
tary upon the widespread revival
of interest in spiritual things
which is being manifested in
America and the rest of the
world. There is no doubt that
| more and more men in high
places have become convinced
that no lasting peace can ever be
made except on the basis of the
elemental principles common to
all religions.
In announcing the appointment
of Ambassador Taylor the Presi
dent called upon the churches of
all creeds to join in the effort for
peace in which he is cooperating
with the Vatican, and especially
asked the Rev. Dr. George A.
Buttrick, president of the Fed
eral Council of Churches of
Christ in America, and Rabbi
Cyrus Adler, president of the
Jewish Theological Seminary, to
join their efforts with his and to
lead their people into cooperation.
In Washington official circles
this latest move of the Adminis
tration is regarded as conclusive
proof that there is no lingering
thought or intent in the Presi
dential mind of letting this coun
try be dragged into the European
war if that can possibly be avert
ed. The effectiveness of that de
termination is backed up by the
amazing spirit of cooperation be
ing displayed by the 20 other
American republics in joining
with the United States in protest
against bringing the war within
shooting distance of this conti
nent.
Fought Near Coast
The naval battle between the
Admiral Graf Spee and a British
cruiser squadron was fought al
most in sight of the capital of
Uruguay. A British cruiser chas
ed a German cargo ship to the
very entrance of the harbor of
Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Another
British cruiser was lying in wait
for the German luxury liner Co
lumbus less than 250 miles east
of New York, when the liner's
captain decided to sink her rather
than run the risk of being sunk.
Instances of naval operations
by both sides within the three
hundred-mile "safety zone" which
the recent Pan-American confer
ence marked out as the limit
within which war-like activities
would not be tolerated have stir
red the nations of Central and
South America as they have nev
er been stirred before to coop
erate with the United States. The
protest sent by Washington to
London and Berlin is being sup
plemented by individual protests
from the other American nations,
and a general conference of Pan-
America is expected to discuss
ways and means of making such
protests more forceful.
Nobody in Washington objects
to Britannia ruling the waves;
indeed, the hope is unanimous
that she can keep on doing so.
But the warning is clear that we
don't want any fighting in our
own back yard.
