Paris, April 24.-Premier Orlando

nier states in so many words that he

peace conference after Wilson's ac-

King Victor Emmanuel has tele-

America Is ItaIy's Friend


America is Italy's friend. Her peo-
pie are drawn, millions strong, from
ltaly's own fair countrysides. She is
linked in blood, as we'll as in affec
ton, with the Italian people. Such
ties can never be broken. And Amer
lea was privileged. by the generous
commission of her associates in the
war, to initiate the peace we are
about to consummate---to initiate IL
upon terms which she had herself
formulated under which was her
spokesman.
The compulsion is upon her to
square every decision she takes a
part in with those principles. and
nothing else. She trusts Italy and In
her trust believes that Italy will ask
nothing Of her that cannot be made
unmistakably consistent with those
sacred obligations.
The interests are not now In
question, but the rights of peoples,
of states. new and old, of liberated
peoples and peoples whose rulers
have never accounted them worthy OF
a right; above all the right of the
world to peace and to such settle
ments of interests as shall make
peace secure.
These. and these only, are the prin-
ciples for which America has fought.
These, and these only. are the prin-
ciples upon which she can consent to
make peace: Only upon these prin-
ciples she hopes and believes will the
people of Italy ask her to make
peace"
