Thoro Is not much wonder-that the . administration at Washington he sitated. All the principal allies or . Europe are dependent to a great extent . for flnnnrlul help from America, nnd thuso unfortunate I'p'eoplo who have Been forced to bear the hardship's of war, also look very largely to America for sustenance and relief.

A remarkably favorable impression has been made on the workers of Italy by; recent addresses in Paris by Messrs. W"son and Fry of the Ameri can Labor Commission. Tho address es were delivered before n delegation of Italian workmen. ' In the course of his speech, Mr. Wilscn said; ' We desiro to express to our Italian brothers the sympathy of the workers of America and our appreciation of the tremendous services of Italy to the al lied cause and the sacrifices in its be have won and everything that n"d by both the ormy ocom- Dat anu me army oi inDor. i ne inter ests of working men In nil countries are our interests. We are determined to give them all aid possible and to assist them in every feasible way with the united backing of our organization. Tl)is is the unanimous desire of Amer ican labor. To American working men Italy represents the epitome of the history of the civilization that must be maintained nnd defended against Teu tonic attacks. We have a profound Ised- nation In the world either to ! faith in the belief that democracy wil'. forego Its aspirations, or to declare war in their defense. We find our selves fighting again for our na tional, existence. We are- race to face with the necessity of assert, ing anew the fundamental' right of free men to make, their own laws and choose their own allegiance, or else permit humanity to become the victim or a ruthless ambition that is determined to destroy what it cannot master. "Against its threat the, liberty loving people of the world have risen and allied themselves. No rear has deterred them, and no bribe of material well-being has hold them back. They have mndo snoiiflces such ' as the world has never known berore, and their re sistance In the race, or death and Buffering has proved that the aim which animates the German effoit can never hope . to rule tho spirit of mankind. Against the horror of military conquest, against the emptiness of living in more bodily contentment, against the desolation or becoming part of a State that knows neither truth nor honor, tho world has so revolted that oven noople long dominated nnd sup pressed by force have now begun to stir ond arm themselves, ''Cenlurlos or subjugation have not destroyed tho racial aspirations of the many distinct peoples of eastern Europe, nor hnve they ac cepted the sordid ideals of their political and mllltnry masters. They have survived the slow perse.,i Hons of peaco as well as the agon, les of war, and now demand recog nition for their Just claims to au tonomy and se,lf-government.
