All Paris IS still talking today. Of
the Presidents speech, in Turin. on
his way back to Paris. when he de-
clared not the peace conferees, but
the peoples would be the real makers
of peace.
People Real Bosses.
Perhaps you gentlemen think Of
the members of your government and
the members of other governments,
who are going to confer in the city
of Paris. as the real makers of war
and peace, but we are not. You are
the makers of war and peace" he
said.
Il have only this suggestion before
VIC go to Paris to conclude peace.
You stay here to continue il. We
can start the peace. It's your duty to
continue it. We can only make the
large conclusions, you constantly
transact the detail which constitutes
the processes of the life of a nation. "
Wilson emphasized close relations
between Italy and the United States.
and said that when Baron SonninO
was arguing for extension of Italian
sovereignty over Italian peoples. Il
said. 4 am sorry we cannot let you
| have New York. which. l understand.
is the greatest Italian city in the
world. am told there are more
Italians in New York City than in
any city in Italy"
Real blood in streets.
Wilson spoke again at a luncheon
given the Presidential party.
The real blood of the nations flows
in the streets in which are the people
who more than the rest of us have
borne the stress OF war.
''The people Of the United States
were reluctant to take part in the wal,
not because they doubted the Justice
of the cause. but because II was the
tradition of the American republic to
play no part in the politics of other
continents.
'As the struggle grow from stage
to stage they were more and more
moved by the conviction that it was
not a European struggle. that it was a
struggle of the freedom of the world
and the liberation of humanity. and
with that conviction it was impossible
that they should withhold their hands
Their carts ad been wit you from the
start first and then when the time Of
/ their conviction came they threw
every resource OF men and money and
enthusiasm into the struggle.
Happy Combination.
TT has been a happy circumstance
that America should be thus associat-
ed with Italy. Our ties have been
many before the war. and now they
constitute a pledge of friendship and
of permanent association of purpose
which must delight both people"
In another address the President sal
it was 'one of the chief Eriefs of the
war that the universities of the CEN
trail empires used the thoughts Of sci
ence to destroy mankind. 1t is the
duty of the universities OF Italy and or
the rest of the world to redeem
science from this disgrace"
