 Meetings Stigmatized
 Their head, John De Pastino, strong also in his capacity as President of the Federation of 30 Italian Societies, which includes more than 10000 members, has promoted the first meeting. Those at the meeting bitterly stigmatized deliberately unfriendly and hos tile" campaign of the two papers, who, lacking sentiments of loyal ty towards America, openly serve and in a most improper form, the British interests. These newspa- pers offend the sensibility of other American citizens of other races by seeking to attract America to an alliance with death; Specifical- ly to save the ship of English Im- perialism, from which many leaks now show its progressive weak ness.
 We report the deliberation voted and written, sent to MT. Pape.
 John De Pastino president of the local Italian American Soci- cities and clubs, announced today that acting upon the insistence of several prominent leaders among local societies and clubs, action will be taken in the form of pro test or a boycott of the two pa- pers, whose editorials have be- come so pronounced against Italy that something must be done to show William Pape, that Amer ican citizens of Italian extraction can defend the land of their birth or extraction as efficiently as Pape and his staff can defend theirs.
 Many have arrived at the con- clusion that Pape's newspapers are not serving the cause of 100 percent AmericaniSm but build ing sentiment in favor of the land of Pape's birth, from whence a great number of the staff of the Waterbury Republican-American have immigrated.
 Hold Pape To Account
 "Mr. Pape will be held strictly to account for any hard feelings that may develop locally from re- Sulting reaction to the prejudiced and partial attitude of his papers in international comments, which in some quarters are interpreted as being malicious.
 More than one-fourth of the local population is of Italian ex- traction and most of them refuse to take into account Pape's theories, which are founded on an international system of propa- ganda to involve America in for eign troubles.
 "The resulting action which may be taken by the Italian American organization will be no surprise to William Pape who has upon several occasions been po- litely requested to desist from his anti-Italian attitude"
 While Waterbury is raising this stupendous protest of Italian Patriotism, combining all social classes and parties into a spir- itual union, we are eager to SUD- port these citizens in their patri- otic resentment. We will support them with affectionate interest, while preparations are being made for the protest and while ap- propriate means are found to in- crease respect for Italians, Italy and colonial prestige. We will help to put in their places the per- sistent newspaper detractors our dear and great distant country, which from a hymn of youth and heroism, has resumed the Helmet of Scipio, to attain as the Romans, its place in the world,

RUSSIA MUST BE
 IN ANY ALLIANCE

Chapel Hill, N. C.. Feb. 9E(UP)- Alexander A. Troyanovsky, Soviet ambassador to the United States declared last night that an alliapce of the United States with Great Britain and Soviet Russia was nec- essary to prevent another World war.
 In an address before the Non- Political Union of the University of North Carolina, Troyanovsky de- plored what he termed the lack of cooperation among "peace-loving" countries.
 He said he believed there was greater danger of war now than in 19l3-14, prior to the World war, be- cause Germany was not in alliance with Japan at that time."
