tribune COD
GENOA, April 25.-The activities of
foreign diplomats in the United States
in lining up the nationals of their re-
spectiye countries for organizing
solid votes in American political cam
paigns is being freely discussed in
European circles and by American
business men and politicians touring
the continent
The French, on account of the
scarcity of French colonists in the
United States, are not attempting to
obtain Gallo bloc. and the British
are confining their efforts to straight
diplomatic lobbying.
The Italians, Greeks, Germans,
Poles, and CZecho- Slovaks are all en-
gagged in consolidating their former
nationals to vote solidly henceforth.
The Italians have succeeded best. so
far. Signor Ricci the new ambassa-
dor. is practically abandoning his
diplomatic work to tour the cities
containing Italian colonies, where he
is making speeches urging his fellow
countrymen to become naturalized so
they can vote and cast their ballots
unftedly to protect Italian interests.
Realized Advantage.
Ex-Premier Giolitti first realized the
tremendous advantage of directing a
solid italian vote from Rome during
the Wilson campaign, when the ex-
citement over the Democratic attitude
on Fiume was at its height.
The foreign diplomats in their
speeches are urging their countrymen
to become naturalized, saying that
this will abolish hyphenism, but be-
meath the camoufiage this reason is
detected-to obtain votes.
The Greeks are anxious to line up
the voters against the Turks, and are
carrying on propaganda against the
strong pro-Armenian circles in Ameri-
ca in order to retain Thrace The
Poles and Germans in America also
are working among their nationals to
gain support in their bitter fight.
Americans abroad are familiar with
the situation, and they urge the state
to investigate the covert
electioneering, regardless of whether
it is in favor of the organization or
not, as an intrusion in American do
mestie~affairs.

Failure to recognize the existence of
envy, jealousy and hatdrcd," among
nations, as among individuals has in
variably sent the United States un-
prepared into great crisis and caused
unnecessary loss of life and left us
staggering under financial burdens"
There is no doubt" the chief of
staff continued, "but that the Civil
war might have been prevented had
the country been equipped with an
army of reasonable size ready for i'm
mediate use. measure of prepared
ness such as contemplated under the
law of 1920 would probably have kept
US out of the World war, at least it
would have saved US the humiliation
- depending upon the allies to hold
back the enemy for more than a year
before We were even partially pre-
pared.
Could Have Prevented
AS matter of fact with adequate
military preparations there can be
little question that the United States
under strong leadership, could have
prevented the World war altogether"
General Pershing advocated "regu-
lar army in keeping with our position
among the nations" and declared that
regular establishment of $50 900 men
and $4,000 officers was barely of suf-
f1cient strength to meet minor emer-
gencies, garrisons over seas, posses
sions, and provide a minimum of in
struction for citizen forces.
Below Safety, Says Weeks
The $4,000 enlisted strength army
bill passed by the house provides a
military structure "below the safe
minimum requirements" of the nation,

Should the house proposals prevail,
he added, not only would the regulars

checked.
Peace Uncertain
Il am aware of no issue that at the
present time threatens to involve us
in international complications" Mr..
Weeks said. There is no evidence of
foreign designs against us. We must
however, recognize that through the
greater part of the world a condition
of instability prevails which renders
