TO VISIT POPE AT VATICAN DURING DAY Papal Visit Made From Am erican Embassy, Not j From QuirinaL ROBERT J. BENDER ' ' (United Press Staff Correspondent.) BOMB, Jan. 4. President Wllson'a strategy In going- straight to the heart of the Balkan situation is being dis cussed by the people and politicians alike. It has promoted a freedom of expression that is expected to go fa? toward clarifying the relations be tween. Italy and the new Slavic states, which have been somewhat tens late ly. .1 '. The president's statement in his speech before the chamber of depu ties last night that the Balkan peo-. pie "must now be Independent" Is) believed to a broad hlpt that Italian" Slavic disputes must he adjusted; aa4 : that Italy must join the other asso ciated powers In promoting the es tablishment of a strong Slavic nation. IAST MIGHTS ADB-RESS Speaking In .-the Italian parliament in the presence of King Victor Em manuel, the entire Italian cabinet and all -members, Wilson again vowed tha removal forever of the old system of alliances, secret Influence, lntrlgua and military force. "We know that there cannot be an other balance of power," he said, add lng that here must be substituted for It "a thoroughly united league of na tions." Friendship and good will alone, ha said. In the future can be the true and permanent cement of peace, for on that basis alone can peace be durable. T.-XlVE3tSAIi- JTtrejTDSHIP -NBCiiAKV "Therefore" continued the -presl- , 'dent, -'our tusk ati Paris it to organ ize the friendship of the world to sea to it that all the moral forces that make for right and justice arid liberty are united and are given a vital or ganization to which the peoples of th world will readily and gladly respond." Again the president averred - that the league of nations is not a chimeri cal, an amademic proposition,--nor aa unrealizable Ideal.. "What men once considered "theo retical and Idealistic turns out-to be practical and necessary." he said. States such as those of the Balkans; hitherto held together by brute force. must now be independent-, Mr. Wilson. declared. TO VISIT POPE , ' ROME. Jan. 4. A visit by Wilson to the pope at the Vatican today la regarded aa one of the most import ant events of the president's Italian visit. It Is believed a clear under standing will be reached regarding; the church's attitude toward the vital principles of the peace settlement. Preceding the audience with the pope Wilson conferred with jOardinal tiaa Parri. pauar- secretary of state, re garding certain angles of political subjects.
