the Associated Press the following
message to the Italians in America:
"On the fourth anniversary of our
victory it gives me pleasure to send a
message of good wishes to all Italians
living in North America. AS the
youths who returned victorious from
the trenches bound themselves to-
gether like the fasces of the Roman
vlctors, succeeding in giving the ma
ton rhythm of life worthy of the
victory gained. so must you join in
the name of Italy in ideal bonds ex-
pressing all your strength and making
felt with adequate energy the virtues
of the Italian people, even outside the
boundaries of your country.
THUS united, you will cooperate with
greater alacrity not only in your own
prosperity but in that of the noble ma
tion extending you hospitality OF
which you are not negligible element
of value. Italy rose from the victory OF
Vitorio Veneto greater and more august.
This re ewed consciousness should make
you proud to be Italians. make you exalt
everywhere the name of Italy.
