 President.
 Great concern is felt by Ameri- can citizens of Italian extraction in the unwarranted mixing up of United States representatives abroad in the 1talo- Ethiopnan question.
 British officials insistence in get ting our diplomats involved Is clearly seen in the reports from London and following the collapse of the recent British -French-Ital ian conference in Paris a report from Paris cites a statement from Edon in which he says that the British government will make pro- posais to the United States for concerted action In case hostilitiea break.
 Eden and the rest of the British government are kidding the Eng fish people and the world at large when they say that America will interfere in any possible conflict which England may wish to precip- itate against Italy.
 Outcome Not Predicted
 While Italian-Americars will not predict the outcome of any poBsi- ble conflict they will give all the moral support possible to the country of their extraction and repose utmost confidence in Mus soiinis ability in doing what he humanly, can to protect Italy's rights and preserve the destinies of the Italian race.
 Great Britain's attitude in spon- soring Ethiopia's defense has caused Italy lot of trouble and expense. She has encouraged Ethiopia to resist and probably helped Ethiopia in arming. English capitalists and industrialists having facilitated the furnishing of sup plies to Ethiopia of every descrip- ton, and England is also forcing France to turn against Italy.
 Italy, of course, will not be left in the cold and in the first instance her fortunate natural position In the Mediterranean will place her in strategical position. to make England regret her ingrattude to Italy for having left her in the cold at the world war peace conference, when President Wilson. Lloyd George and Clemenceau assumed the task of dividing among Eng land and France the vast territor. ies taken from the defeated central powers.
