SPIRIT OF ITALIAN PEOPLE living and add to the prosperity of tho country" Itself. In every- way wo havo been happy In our association at home and abroad with tho pcoplo of this great state. I was baylnp playfully to Premier Orlando and Iiaron Sonnluo this afternoon that, In trying to put the people of the world under their proper sovereignties, wo would not be willing to part with tho Italians in the t'nlted States, because we too much value tho contribution that thev havo made, not only to the In dustry of tho I'nlted States, but to its thought nnd to many elements of Its life. Till is, therefore, a very welcome onrasion upon which to express a feeling thut goes very deep. I was touched tlm other day to have an Italian, a very plain man, say to mo that wo had helped to feed Italy during tho war, and it went to my heart, because we hod been ablo to do bo little. It was necessary for us to uso our tonnage to exclusively for the handling of troops and of the supplies that hud to follow them from tho I'nlted States, that we could not do half us much as It was our desire to do to supply grain to this country, or coal, or any of tho supplies which It so much need ed during tho progress of the war. And knowing, as we did In this indireit way. tlm needs of tho coun try, you will not wonder that vo were moved by its steadfastness, My heart goes out to the llttlo, poor families nil over this great kingdom who stood tho brunt and tho strain of tho war nnd gave their men gladly to make other men free and other women and other children file These are the pcoplo and many jike them to whom, after nil. we own tho glory uf this gicat achievement, and I wint to Join with you, for I am sure, of Joining with you.

But we annot stand in tho shadow of this war without know ing thero aro things which aro In somo Fenses moio difficult than those wo have undertaken, b.

Tho great difficulty among such Stales as (ltoso of tho Balkans has been that they wero always acces sible to secret Influence; nnd they wcro always penetrated by Intrigue of homo sort or another; that north of them lay disturbed populations which were held together not by sympathy nnd friendship, but by the coercive forco of n military power.

Friendship Only lasting Tle There Is only ono "thing that holds nations together. If you ex clude force, and that Is friendship and good will. Tho only thing that binds men together Is friendship, and by the same token the only thing that binds nations together is friendship. Therefore, our task at Paris is to organize tho friendship of tho world to see to it that all tho moral forces that mako for right and Justice and liberty are united and are given a vital organ lzation to which the peoples of the world will readily and gladly re spond. , , In other words, our task Is no less colossal than this; to set up a new international psychology: to have n. new real atmosphere. I am happy to say that in my dealings with tho distinguished gentlemen who lead your nation, and thoso who lend Franco and England, I fcol that atmosphere gathering, that desire to establish friendliness, that desire to mako peaco rest upon right; and with this common pur pose no obstacles need bo formida ble. , 4 The only uso of an obstacle Is to be overcome.

Wo know that thero cannot bo another balance of power. That lias been tried and found wanting; for the best of all reasons, that It does not stay balanced Inside Itself, and cannot constitute a makeweight In (ho affairs of men. Therefore, there must be somc ihbig substituted for tho balance of power, and I am happy to find every where In tho air of theso great na tions the conception that that thing must bo a thoroughly united league of nations. What men once considered theo retical and idealistic turns out to bo practical nnd necessary. Wo stand at tho opening of a new ago in which a new statesmanship will, I am confident, lift mankind to now levels of endeavor and achievement.
