Naples, Oct 2.-(Correspondence of The Associated Press. )-Former Premier Francesca Nitti, who is so- journing here, in the course of a statement today went over some of the problems which are perplexing Europe and America.
 con the eve of the presidential struggle in the United States" he said, Git is we'll that the European situation be thoroughly considered lin America. Europe cannot quickly regain it's feet without the help of the United States, but the United States might only help those coun- tries whose policy is peace. The American democracy has great task before it. I am a sincere friend of America, but cannot truthfully say l believe that the actions of her lead CTS have been useful to the world. ; "No man had more humanitarian ideas than President Wilson. But he was not sufficiently acquainted with Europe, and thus the treaties con- cluded have no great moral worth. They contain the germs of deep ha- treds and perhaps new wars. The United States could even now, if they wished, exert a beneficial in- fluence. This is not only their moral duty but it is also in their interest to do so.
 "I do not know if there is peace anywhere in the world, but there certainly is none in Europe. Around you, you see nothing but armies. While the war was still going on people said this would be the last war, but Germany's militarist spirit has been acquitted by the peoples who overthrow Germany. Europe is alive with proposals of conquest, with eagerness to hoard raw materials.
 "We always declared we were no, waging war against the German peo- pie, but against German militarism and still, now that the German em. pire has fallen and now that militar-
 st Germany is wrecked, we have not changed our attitude. Germany today is in an intolerable position, still undergoes all sorts of odious investigations and is submitting to all sorts of humiliations. Germany has no ships, has not sufficient raw materials and has no colonies, while the exchange rate is so unfavorable she cannot buy abroad Germany, while suffering hunger, is condemn ed to pay an indeterminate indemn- ity for an indeterminate number of years.
 Victory Confers Rights.
 "1t is true that the victory con- fers certain rights, but it imposes also certain duties. Nobody more than myself, who am firm believer in democracy and peace, hated Ger man imperialism. Is the American de- mocracy really pleased with the turn events have taken? All Europe, with it's large population, was the grea, market for the exchange of goods. Germany was the greatest European center of production.
 "Now all this is upset and smash ed. The world never again will have the former low prices without Ger many's fruitful work. We hated German militarism, but admire her industriousness and perseverance,, which has given her first place among the worlds producing nations. Why should we do without Germa- ny's work and how can one expect Germany to pay any indemnity in the present state of affairs? My words often have been misunderstood by the imperialistt press, but so long as l have single breath left shall not passively assist in the waste of so much energy. Can we expect perma- nently to control Germany in the way we are now doing?
 Regarding Russia, I think our
