another war, this demand is now COM
ing from nearly all classes.
What the precise attitude Of the
Italian government may be on the
suestion is not yet clear.
No secret is made by the support
ers of this idea Of the degree Of iso-
alton which such an illiance would
impose on France. But according 70
he Italian viewpoint, that is Ques-
lion which regards France and noc
italy.
This general solicitation and de.
mand for an alliance with England re-
verses completely the general public
attitude of Italy towards England OF
before the war Then Eangland was
always Italy's potential menace. 1t
was because of this menace that Italy
felt largely the need of an alliance
with Germany.
Italy's per-war at,itIde relative TO
England was this: Italy is essential
~ maratime state, a state with very
few natural resources and raw ma
terial, and complete absence of ma
tive deposits of coal. Hence Italy's
existence depends upon her maratime
commerce and contact with the rest of
the world. But with England control
ing bot hentrances an doutlets fthe
Mediterranean namely Gibraltar and
Suez, she could on a moments notice
bottle up Italy in the Mediterranean,
cut her off from all foreign sources
of supplies, and thus reduce her to
starvation and submission within
few weeks.
Hence Ctaly's pcr-war distrust Of
England.
Since the war Italy sees things from
a different viewpoint. She feels her
strength as a nation. She feels that
other nations-no matter how great
they may behave need Of her Just
as she has need of them and so she is
frankly looking around for the best
place to make an alliance.
AS Europe stands today, with Ger
many and Russia out OF the running
for long time to core, Itaiy's field
of action is pretty much limited to
France and England. Between the
two she has unhesitaSingly chosen the
latter. Italy is very d!strustful Of
France and a latent racial, political
psychological antipathy exists which
can never be overcome.

Publication Of the note is result Of
strong propaganda by British COM

because o fthe preferential trade tres-

School OF Marriage

It's director, Mrs Jessie A Foulk,
lis social worker.
She seeks to educate young men
and women in the art Of marrying
happily and to assist those whose
marriages appear to be mistakes Ito
make the best of it."
She calls her school the bureau
of domestic happiness.
According to Mrs. Foulk, 80 per
cent of the marriages in Cleveland
are unhappy.
She makes this statement after 20
years experience in dealing with
married people as a social worker.
Il know that this is true" she
said
"Of course there are some hus-
bands and wives who will admit it.
They lead miserable eXistences in
their homes quarreling and pickering
continually and at the same time
trying to make others believe they
are happy.
But in their hearts they know they
have grown to hate each other-lt Is
merely case of federation They
know their love has died and their
marriage has become mockery.
Il am convinced all this unhappi-
ness is unnecessary, firmly believe
that the cause of suffering and dis
content and discord in marriage is
simply a lack of understanding of
what marriage is--or, rather, what
it should and can be.
Mrs. Foulk asserted that most I'M
happy marriage are caused because
young people are left to stumble upon
love blindly
She gives the following advice:
Don't permit moonlight and kisses
to select your husband or wife.
Weigh his or her faults and COM
pare the result with the good points.
Don't turn your children out into
the world without telling them the
seriousness of marriage.
Have an ideal. Don't choose any
one person as your ideal but select
the qualities which the one you marry
must have. Be sure that you realize
just what marriage will mean. And
hold to your ideal
