Though the waste and suffering Of
the wars of the last half century have
been terrible, they were not without
compensation. As a direct consequence
of some and an indirect consequence Of
others, what we regard as the benef-

Immensely promoted In Italy, In

be sure, has been made possible Ia

reasons that the governments of the
