WILSON ASKS ilTALIANSAIDIN MAKING PEACE Responding to Address Bv Mayor of Turin, President Slates That It Is Up to People of World to Force and Maintain Peace After Conclusion at Paris. ; ' ' TURIX, Jan. 7. In responding to an address by the mayor of Turin at a luncheon In his honor here today, President Wilson said: " "Your excellency and fellow citi zens: You show your welcome In many delightful ways and in no moro delightful way than In which you have shown it today. The words . which the mayor ias uttered have touched me very much and X have been both touched and stlmulalnd by the words which the Blgnor boa so kindly uttered In behalf o'f the gov ernment of this great kingdom. "It Is -very delightful to feel my association with , that government and with this city, and I know how much and with what vitality Italian effort comes out of this great center of Industry and thought. As I passed thru your streets I had this sensa tion, a sensation which I have often had In my own dear country at home, a sensation of friendship and of close sympathetic contact. I could have 'believed myself in an American city. I felt more than that. I felt what I have also felt at home that the real blood of the republic flowed in the streets in the veins of these plain people -who more than some of the rest of us have borne the stress and burden of war. .: Price of Victory "Think of the price at which yon and at which I have-purchased th victory which we have won! Think of the price of blood and treasure not only, but the price of tears and the nrUwi nf hniw An tha utl.1,1 llfflo children, of the hopes delayed or the dismayed prospects that bore heavy upon the homes! Those of us who plan battles and those of us who con ceive political movements do not bear the burden of It. We direct and the others execute. We plan and the others perform and the conquest of spirit Is greater than the conquest ot arms. "These are the people that never, let go. They say nothing. They live merely from day to day, determined that the glory of Italy or that tha glory of the United States shall not depart from her. Ruler of the 'World "And I had another thought. This' Is a great industrial city. Perhaps you gentlement think of the mem bers of your government and the members ot other governments who are going to confer in the city of Paris as the real makers of war and peace, but we are not. You are the makers of war and ot peace. Tho. pulse of the modern world heats on: the farms and in the mines and In me lactones. . m piuus ui me -uiuu-. un mA.M am manA In thn onnntlniT.. couse. The men that do the business ot the world now shape the destinies of the world and peace or war is now In a large measure In the hands of whose who conduct the commerce of the world. That is one reason why unless we establish friendships,; un less we establish sympathies, we clog all the processes of modern life. I have several times said that you can-,. not trade with a man who does not trust you and you will not trade with a man whom you do not trust. Trust Is the very vital life and- breath ot business and suspicion and unjust national rivalries stand In the way of trade and stand In the way of In dustry. "I have only this suggestion be fore we go to Paris to conclude a peace. You stay here to continue It. (Continued on P-age Four.) OHIO SENATE RATIFIES COLUMBUS, Ohio,-Jan. ''7.
