ROME, March 17—Pope Paul VI deplored the stalemate and violence in Ulster in a St. Patrick's Day message published by the Vatican today.
He said that the violence in Ulster was largely incited by “deplorable delays or even continuous disregard” of local problems. The Pope's message was in the form of a letter to William Cardinal Conway, Roman Catholic primate of Ireland.
The Pontiff added that the solution of those problems could not be reached through violence, whether it came “as a reaction to injustice or as a means of maintaining public order.”
