ITALIAN COMMENTS
ON COOLIDGE SPEECH
Present Policy Of Isolation Held
Different From "Idealistic
Views" of Wilson.
BY the Associated Press.


ROME, February 23-The speech Of
President Coolidge at George Washing<
ton University yesterday caused edis
torial comment today only in the newss
paper Tribuna This article came from
the pen of Roberto FORCES Davanzati, q
member of the Fascist Grand Council
He wrote that American isolation was
of a different character from what exc
listed several decades ago, saying:
Americas isolation today consists Of
the maximum possibilities Of intervene
ton in all world affairs-therefore In
European-without the corollaries Of
the ties that arise from necessity or
from treaties of alliance.
This is the situation which Coolidge
transmits to Hoover and which in eff
feet is the foundation of the foreign
policy in the United States. It was
born of participation in the World War,
but it has been freed from the purely
personal equation Of the false prophet
Wilson, and the idealistic view of 1t held
by European social democracy which,
in the postwar period. stupidity inag-
ined that the United States was made
in its own image"

MEETING DIFFICULTIES

Little Betty came wailing into the house-"My ball went over the fence. I want it. Get it for me. Get it."
 "Why don't you get it yourself?"
 T Can't--you get it for me-
 Come, III show you how. Well get 1t together" And mother took Betty's hand. led her through the gate and helped her find her ball among the bushes.
 Among the most important things that children have to learn at home is how to meet their little setbacks and difficulties. The child who at home is permitted to dissolve in tears and wait helplessly for some one to come to her rescue has ac- quired a response which will be un- serviceable in his relations with the outside world.
 When a favorite toy breaks, the child should learn as early as pos- sible to mend it himself, or at least, to render such assistance as he can while an adult mends it for him. The child who, when he has been worsted in a contest of wills with a playmate, runs always to find an adult who will take his part, finds | life more than usually uncomfort- able as he grows older. We cannot begin too early to train | the child 70 self dependence in meet l ing his own problems Our natural 1 tendency unhappily, is to do quite | the reverse. It is pleasant to have the little one turn to us in his dis tress, and to see him, as the result of our divine intervention, once more wroathed in smiles.
 This pleasure we must forego, ii we hope to fit our child for a life in which there will be none to take his part.
