ITAIY,s GREAT MISTAKE.
Senator Wasbburn Draws Some LESSON
from the Fava Episode.

FTon ne Nt1o York Timer, 7M
Senator Washburn of Minnesota was at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel yesterday Speak
ing of the withdrawal of Baron Fava, he
said "1taly made mistake which will
react upon her. Americans 20 there in
Thousands every year and spend millions
Of dollars in travel in art, and in the other
luxuries which that country has 10 offer.
AS business proposition ltaly's action
was a mistake. 10 will react on Italians I'm
this country. They were none too popular
before.
"There is n lesson in the behavior of the
Italians in this country which ought not
to be overlooked. The Italian press, al
most without exception, took sides with
Italy Some utterances were very bitter
against our own Government. Now, il
should be borne in MUD that the editors
of these papers are supposedly the most
intelligent and best educated of the ma
tionality i'm America. Many of them, IL
not ALL have become citizens of the
United States and have sworn allegiance
TO this Government and yet at the IN
slant that the trouble began, on a hurried
survey and without An understanding of
the merits of the case apparently, they at
once sided with their home Government.
This is significant thing. American
citizens may well inquire if this line of
policy would be followed by other nation
alities Suppose it had been Germany
instead of Italy, and the German press
had done its best to arouse sympathy for
the empire against the Government of
their adoption, 1t would have been a
serious thing.
81 do not believe the rule would hold
with the Germans, but the question can
not help suggesting itself.
"The incident will be beneficial in its
results. ! believe that one result will be
q change in the immigration laws Some
thing should be done to prevent foreign
nations from dumping their outlaws and
criminals into this country. The present
law, which allows us to send back paul
pers and others who are recognized as tin-
desirable, is locking the door after the
horse has been stolen. The sitting pro-
cess should begin earlier. / believe law
should be passed which would require the
immigrant to procure a certificate of good
character from the American Consuls
abroad.
This would, of course, necessitate an
increase in the consular service, but that
would not be an undesirable feature. It
would give added dignity and Importance
to the representatives of the United
States abroad.
THE incident will be made the basis of
new pleas for an American Navy and for
coast defenses, which we shall hear from
in the next Congress"
Senator Washburn, accompanied by
Mrs. Washburn and Miss Washburn, will
sail on Wednesday for Liverpool, to re-
main three or four months abroad.
