More Light on ItaIy'S Attitude
(From tho New York Tribune).

Premier Salandra's address to the
Italian Parliament contains the
clearest statement yet made Of Italy's
attitude toward the problems created
by the war Hitherto the Italian
government has contented itself with
proclaiming "a policy of strict neu-
trality. Al the outset it announced
that il was not bound under the terms
of the Triple Alliance to go to the
aid of Germany and Hungary,
because the war in which the two
latter powers were engaged was not
a, defensive one. Beyond that it OK
pressed no opinion and merely sug
gested that its own interests requir-
cd II to avoid entanglements with
other sci of belligerents
Signor Salandra now goes further
and says that a merely passive neu-
trality cannot sufficiently safeguard
Italys position in Europe She is .

the future, and must be prepared 10
secure consideration at a time when
important political changes in Europe
and Asia are impending. Therefore.
she must be "watchful. powerful and
ready for any eventuality."
Italy was freed and reunited not
so much through the action of her
own people as through the conse

Italy so signally profitcd, or IN MS
heart look upon the present European
conflict as anything but another op-
portunity tossed by fate into ltalys
lap. Therefore. when Premier Sa-
landra says that ltaly's first duty is
10 develop to the utmost her military
strength and to stand ready to use
il ito preserve intact her policies,
he only speaks what all Italians feel.
With Italy It is only a case OF pre-
pairing herself completely and then
using her power to improve her posi-
tion and safeguard her future.
National self-interest will, OF
course, decide Italys final action.
The present ministry is not yet pre-
pared to forecast that action. Prob
ably Italy was caught last August
more or less unprepared, in a mill
tary sense, just as France was. and
still needs several months TO make
good deficiencies i'm material. Prob
ably, also. the choice TO be made is
not yet absolutely clear from the
point of view of double-distillcd prud-
ence. But there can be no doubt as
to where Italy's sympathies lie. The
cry of the Extreme Left. viva Tri-
estei" in the midst of the Premier's
speech and the spontaneous greetings
sent by the lower chamber TO heroic
and unfortunate Belgium" tell the
whole story. Italy's heart is with
the Allies. although she still eau
tiously DELAYS making common cause
with them against Turkey. Austria
Hungary ana Germany.

Spirit of the Delmarvia Press

Now it is up to the public to act
and get this business started In Del
mar; as it would give circulation
of a large sum OF money in this COM
munity. We will appreciate it if
every farmer in fhis community Will
get in touch with us and let us know
how much milk they can supply.
Please do so at once, as the letter
is from reliable party and from a
section in Delaware where they have
large creameries and is man that
knows the business. Stock your
farms, raise all your manure, i'm
prove your farm and get cash divi-
/ dend besides. That is what a
creamery would mean in this section.
Can you afford to miss this oppor-

enough to prevent any attempt at
breach of this rule
THE ideal condition would be 2
Federal law that would make cold
storage rules alike in all States. Tn
I'll that comes, il is manifestly most
harmful thing for The people of Penn
sylvania TO be burdcned with a law
that injuries the farmer who produces
eggs, butter and poultry and also
takes money from the pockets Of all
hOuscholders who buy them.
Put in a nutshell, what Pennsyl
vania requires is a revision of its
present law so that it shall cover "a
full season, before any wholesome
product may be ruined by having
thrust upon it the brand Of unwhole-
someness.
Considerable space is being de-
voted to the question Of cold storage
because we feel IL is one of the most
important questions i'm Pennsylvania
today Our Pennsylvania cold stor-
age houses and our butter and egg
and poultry men have been put TO
great disadvantage by the cold
storage law in this State passed at
the last Assembly.
"If all States operated under the
same law, no doubt the business could
be conducted. but at a heavier cost
to the consumer than is necessary.
But tho fact that warehouses and
merchants in other cities can sell in
Pennsylvania with practically no re-
strictions is sufficient argument for
the full consideration of this subject
al our next Assembly. We believe
the cold storage business is absolute
ly necessary under present day con-
ditiOns. and the business should be
encouraged and not hampered by
restrictions that do harm and not
good
I'm Canada some Of the cold stor-
age houses are subsidized by tho
government, and they look upon cold
storage warehouses aud the cold
storage business as a line of trade
that should be encouraged
while we cannot too strongly con-
denim the present law in Pennsyl-
vania. we realize that the public,
without a full knowledge OF the
workings of the cold storage bust
ness, feels that II should be projected
by some good measure. We, there
fore, strongly advocate the repeal Of
the present cold storage act in Penn
sylvania and the substitution of the
new uniform cold storage law which
has Just been recommended by the
National Commissioners of Uniform
State Laws

rNloN pRlNrERs AND TUBERCULOSIS.

T7ROM Marsden G. Scott president of the lnterna-
tional Typographical Union, we have received
pamphlet setting forth the results of that great labor
unions battle against tuberculosis. 1t shows that
the union which has $4,000 members, has done truly
commondable work against the white plague IN addi-
ton to maintaining home and tuberculosis sanatorium
in Colorado Springs. Col, the records show that the
organization has been in the forefront of the
ahti-tuberculosis battle. Each month. through its
official organ it has advised its membership of the
progress that being made in the prevention, treat
ment and cure of the disease The latest and most
approved thought this very important subject is
sought for and disseminated
As that official organ reaches each of the 10000
members. it will be seen that great educational work
is being done In addition. each of the 200 or more
local unions has a committee tuberculosis to look
after local conditions. The national organization also
urges that subordinate unions discuss sanitary and
unsanitary conditions IN places Of employment and
that they use every reasonable endeavor TO bring
about sanitary reforms.
In short it is playing a conspicuously beneficial
work against the worst scourge that alics the Amer
lean people.

expression that has been so long

indefinite comprehension of how this
power would be applied in case of

As a matter of fact, there are many
ways in which such domination can
make itself effective, and in the pre-
sent hostile operations it has come
