RELEASE
November 22, 1946
STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT
I have directed my personal representative, the Honorable
Myron C. Taylor, to proceed to Rome for a brief period to resune dis-
cussion of matters of importance with His Holiness Popo Pius XII and
others in authority. Mr. Taylor will also resume his efforts in
respect to the reorganization of the Italian Red Cross and his
chairmanship of American rolief for Italy.
Mr. Taylor's work as the guiding force and leading spirit
in organizing American rolief for Italy already has been fruitful of
practical results. Italy has been in sore need from the time of the
invasion and during and since the war. Noteworthy among his activities
has been his work among youngsters rendered homeless by the ravages
of war, along lines comparable with those which have animated Boys
Town and other agencies dealing at the present time with the problem
of juvenile delinquency in the United States. His hope is that the
reorganized Italian Red Cross will become the active medium for all
national relief distribution in Italy.
Mr. Taylor's forthcoming mission to Italy will be of short
duration - not exceeding thirty days. In resuming his conversations
with the Pope he will continue his mission in behalf of peace. His
purpose, as on previous missions, will be to obtain for my guidance
the counsel and cooperation of all men and women of good will whether
in religion, in government, or in the pursuite of everyday life.
As in the past he and I will, in our labors for peace,
continue to welcome the advice of leaders in religion of all con-
victiona and loyalties, however diverse, not only in this country
but throughout the world.
