Some may ask. Hasn't Italy lost O

No, she has not. She Is richer in men

Think of opening up Of MI the Near

the Cape to Cairo road; think of the
road from Bagdad TO the coast; think
OF tho road from Cairo to Morocco, and
other roads which Will shorten the mail
and other traffic going to France and 70
Brazil. All of these roads have TO be
open within a. few months or few
oyars: rather months than years.
Where do you find road builders any
where in the world today? Where arc
they except IN Italy?
Do not forget that the Italians in this
country behaved magnificcntly during
the war. They invested in Liberty

thirty million dollars. these people who

One Of Hardings most appealing vlr-
tues as human bong could readily be-
come a fatal fault IN the President or
the United States.
It Is not set certain that Harding has
risen above that school OF politics which
regards "the organization" as n band OF

school loyalty Is the highest virtue, ana
