Receives Press Representatives
Representative of the Italian press
we're received by President Wilson at
the Quirinal this afternoon The ed
ltors in chief of thirty leading new
papers Of Italy were in the party.
In his address of greeting Andrea
Tore, president of the Italian Pres
Association, emphasized the necessity
for league of nations and for the set
tlement Of all national or racial ques-
tons.
In response President Wilson said:
Let me thank you, gentlemen,
very warmly for this stirring ad-
dress, because it goes straight TO my
heart as we'll as to my understand
ing. If | had known that this i'm
portant delegation was coming to see
me ] would have tried to say some
thing worthy of the occasion. A.
1t Is, | can only say that my pur-
pose Of those associated with us at
Paris is common purpose Justice
and right are big things. and in these
circumstances they are big with diff
ficulty.
Understand, am not foolish
enough TO suppose that our decisions
viii be easy to arrive at, but the
principles upon which they are to be
arrived at ought to be inCisputablc.
and | have the conviction that if we
do not rise to the expectations of the
world and satisfy the souls of great
peoples like the people of Italy, we
shall have the most unenviable dis
tnction in history Because what is
happening now is that the soul of
one people is crying to the soul of
another, and no people in the world
with whose sentiments am ac-
quainted want bargaining settle
ment. They all want settlements
based upon right"
During the day King Victor Emrae..
'el presented General Diaz to Prey
lent Wilson, who complmented the
Italian commander in chief on the mag
niccnt achievements of his army.
The President expressed regret that
'e would be unable to visit the Italian
battlefront wing TO lack of time and
ne necessity to return to Paris as soon
