Even then it would be my object to avoid pro il paganda. The league being a ques tion which divides the two great political parties in the United States. T might easily be misunderstood and wound American susceptibilities, as l might have the appearance of in- of the country giving me hospitality.
 This, however, will not prevent me from discussing the matter in private conversations, the more so, since having participated in the work of the League of Nations, and having seen at close quarters it's mechanism in action, I formed clear concep- tion of it's deficiencies and of the reforms which it would be well to introduce into it, reforms which in my opinion would fully satisfy the American point of view. ', tiet Both Premier Giolitti and Count Sforza, minister of foreign affairs, urged me to go to the States, as, from myalectures a better knowledge rof Italy may be brought about, but I shall have no official, mission. from the Italian to the American govern ment. as our distinguished ambassa dor.
