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. He.
preRcntatlves of thCRe races nre

alty to our ideals and offering their
services In the common cause. I
