ITALY NEUTRAL.

Italy has well preserved her neutrality far dur
ing the European war, and for the sake of her people
it be hoped she will manage to keep out of the
awful 1t would enormously increase the caain-
ity If Italy should be dragged in,
1t is true that years ago the Italian govern
ment without consulting the people, made certain
treaty agreements with two militant powers which
bound her to act with them the defensive against
rival powers. The Italian government constructs this
treaty to that she is not obligated to act with
in Italy is strenuously opposed to the gov
eminent is fully sustained in this attitude at home
Italy has possible or imaginable provocaton to
war and If she should engage in it would only be
to take up another nations quarrel and subject the
Italian people to all the awful penalties of war. In
the calm American view such act by the govern
ment would be a colossal crime. 1t could have no
justification either in politics morals To para
phrase Bismarck all the issues of the are not
worth the life of one Italian grenadier.
Every year American tourists flock to Italy. Every
year multitude of Italian immigrants received in
this country Every year millions of dollars of savings
are sent back Italy by these immigrants to support
needy relatives There is therefore close relation
ship between America and Italy, and American wishes
are fervent that the Italian people may be spared the
experiences of the people of other European countries
who are kin to and who plunged into a dread
ful war not of their making
