Visit Is ltevelatiou to President The tiip here has been a revelation to American coriespoadours Mid, probably, to tho President. Many Americans think Italy drives a hard , bargain by insisting on enforcing the sceroL treaty tctms. The Italians, at least, are unconscious of any such situation. Undoubtedly they wore , drawn into the war by sympathy with the Allies more than they were by treaties that sought to regain tho territories that, in. the popular mind, ' ate as much Italy's as Alsace-Lorraine belongs to France. The radicals heie want peace, and tncy tiittiK tne they want.

President Wilson's coming hero and his visiting more places hero than in Franco or England is nattering to the nation, but the popular consideration shown to him in Italy will be a regulating factor in the Peace Conference, warning the adhesion to his principles in the treaty making, for the support of the President by the masses of Italy, like that in England, is greater than in America. This, of couise, is because the people see no inconsistency between Italy's territorial aims and the League of Xntions, which they so much desire, and this anomaly the President will be called on to compose. Italy certainly is a democratic country, undoubtedly tho most demo cratic of all the Allied nations in which monarchy continue?. This, per haps, is made the more possible because the King himself is intensely democratic, Wilson Appeals to The support of the President here is due to his appeal to democratic , ,, , , . , ... ... , ,, , sentiments the world over. This support is so great thut it should make an i open issue between the aims of the Government in the Conference and I the Government's position at home difficult. It is likely the sentiment of the people will prove strong enough to draw countries together and make ouestions in dispute susceptible of compromise. 1 ....... i a :' .... ...... ... t.iA .1 ., , limy rcijaiua muvriiku uo nt. ,. dpv-plnnment lUtul C ue eiopnicui..
