ITALY FOR RESTORATION.

Chicago has just paid tribute to an
Italian war hero. 1t is we'll at the
same time to call attention to the
most admirable showing Italy has
made in getting back to a peace foot
ing. For Italy has been carrying on
quietly her own program of arma-
ment limitation. AS General Dia7
reminds us, Italy has already ceased
her naval building and, what is still
more important, has reduced her
army to one-third its prewar strength
and is spending, as he says, barely
one third of the amount expended on
her army before the war.
This, it seems to US, is sound and
farseeing craftsmanship, for which
the world may we'll be grateful and
which Americans especially will APP
plaud. The Italians have come
through one of the dangerous and
difficult industrial upheavals, her
statesman handling the crisis with a
tact, courage, and good sense which
have saved Italy ! from communist
ruin and set her feet once more, and
we trust firmly, in the path of res
toration and progress.
The best thought of America and
Italy unite on this plane and the
two countries should cooperate use
fully for the sterilization of western
society. Italv is showing an intel
ligent conception of the principle of
restoration and modern progress.
which is more than can be said of
some other European nations, and
her efforts to build a strong and
sound structure of national life and
effort deserve our hearty sympathy
and all the aid we can Chicago
