ITALY; SPEAKS AT TURIN

ITALY; SPEAKS AT TURIN
(Continued From P2ge one,l
of Cavour because 7 have read of him
and OF the day in which his mlnd took
in the nations and the national scope
OF his strong, determined and patriotic
endeavor that never allowed obstacles
TO dismay and always stood at the
side of the king and planned the
great things which the king was en-
abled to accomplish.
And I had another thought. This
is a great industrial city. 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 of peace.
The pulse of the modern world
beats on the farms and in the mines
and in the factories The plans of
the modern world are made in the
counting house. The men that do the
business of the world now shape the
destinies of the world and peace or
war now is in a large measure in the
hands of those who conduct the COM
merce of the world That is one rea-
son why unless we establish friend
ships, unless we establish sympathies,
we clog all the processes of modern
life. ! have several times said that
you cannot trade with a man who
does not trust you and you will not
do ,.rl,I a ~ at
trust. Trust is the very vital life and
breath of business and suspicion and
unjust national rivalries stand in the
way of trade and stand in the way of
industry.
"A country is owned and dominated
by the capital that is invested in it.
do not need to instruct you gentle
men in that fundamental idea. In
proportion as foreign capital comes in
among you and takes its hold, and
therefore the processes of capital are
in an actual sense the processes of
conquest.
Can Only start Peace.
Il have only this suggestion before
we so to Paris to conclude peace.
GU stay here to continue IT, we can
start the peace, but II is your duty TO
continue it.
1--WE can only make the large con
illusions. You constantly transact the
detail which constitutes the processes
of the life of a nation. And so 1t Is
very delightful to me TO stand in this
company and feel th-t we are not
foreigners 10 each other. We think
the same thoughts, we entertain the
same purposes, we have the same
ideals, and this war has done this in
estimable service--it has brought the
nations into close and vital contact
so that they feel the pulses that are
in each other and so that they know
the purposes by which each is ami
mated
I'VE know in America a great dea
about Italy because we have. so many
Italians.
Fellow citizens, when Baron Son
nino Ghe Italian foreign minister
was arguing the other day for the eX
tension of the sovereignty of Italy ovel
the Italian populations, | said to hin
that ! was sorry we could not let yol
have New York which, | understand
is the greatest Italian city in thu
world. | am told that there are more
Italians in New York City than in any
city in Italy and | am proud to b.
president of a nation which contains
SO large an element of the Italian race
because as a student of literature
know the genius that has originated
in this great nation, the genius o
/! thought and of poetry and philosoph,
and of music. | am happy to be a par
of the nation which is enriched ant
made better by the introduction o
such elements of genius and of in
spiration.
MAY | not again thank the repre-
sentatiyes of this great city and thu
representatives of the government 70
the welcome they have given me ant
say again, for | cannot say it too of
ten, Viva Itali!"
Speaks at University.
At the University of Turin, tn
| president said:
"Mr. Rector, gentlemen Of the fac
| ulty Of the university, ladies and gen
| tlemen: 1t is with n feeling of bein
| in very familiar scenes that / com
| here today As soon as ] entered TIL
| quadrangle and heard the voice of tn
students, it seemed to me as if tn
greater part of my life had come bacl
| to me, and ! am particularly honore
| that this distinguished universi
/ should have received me among II
sons. 1t will always be a matter Q
pride with me to remember this asso
| citation and this very generous word
/, in which these honors have been con
| ferred upon me.
when l think seriously of the sig
! nificance of the ceremony like thi
some vere interes' ing reflection
come to my mind, because, after al
| the comradeship of letters, the inter
| communications of thought, ar
among the permanent things Of tn
| world.
There WAS a time when scholars
| speaking in the beautiful language !
| which the las. address was made, wer
| the only international characters @
the wcrld; the time was when Their
was only one international community
| the community of scholars.
| CAS- ability to read and write wa
| extended, international inter- commun
| ication has extended. But one perma
| nent common possession has re
| manned, and that is the validity o
| sound thinking. When men hav
| thought along the lines of philosophy
have had revealed to them the vision
of poetry, have worked out in thei
studies the permanent lines of law
have realized the great impulses o
humanity, they then begin to advanc,
the human web which no power car
permanently tear and destroy.
And so, in being taken into thu
comradeship of this university. 7 fee
that | am being taken into one of thes,
things which will always bind thu
nations together After ALL when VIZ
