Continuation

Salvemini-
When we come to the cities of
Gorilla and Trieste and their
districts and to- Western Istria
the matter is not as clear. This
is neither a pure Italian nor al
pure Slavic section. It is BIZ
national, Italo- o-Slavic territory.
Four hundred thousand Itali-I
ans are gathered in the cities
and towns and 100000 Slavs
re scattered all over the co1n-
tryside and filter into the cities
and towns. Trieste has 240 Itali-
an inhabitants and 10000
Slavs. Most of the Slavs live in
the suburbs. 1t is useless to ex-
pect a Serbian general and an
Italian general to agree on the
solution of this Or any other
problem. If they agreed they
would be jobless, for there
would no longer be any reason
to fight or any need for armies
to fight. Rather than agree on
an equitable solution each
would prefer to become victims
of an act Of injustice so as to
keep alive in his own country
"the spirit of revenge" But we
do not need to resort to gener-
ais. We know that the Serbian
Prime Minister, Pachich, while
strongly objecting to the plan
of handing Dalmatia to Italy,
repeatedly admitted in 1914 and
1917 that Trieste and Istria
should go to Italy. We know
that in 1915, during the nego-
tiations leading to the i'll
starred Treaty of London, the
Russian Foreign Minister, Sa-
zonoff, while vigorously pro-
testing against the claim of the
Italian Government to Dalma-
tia never raised the least objec-
tien to Italian claims to Istria.
Even more telling is the fact
that during the Peace Confer
ence of 1919 President Wilson
and his experts, who were not
at all biased in favor of Italy,
drew a boundary between Italy
/ land Yugoslavia that awarded
Gorilla, Trieste and Western
Istria to Italy. At that time
| was of the opinion that Wilson
was right. Today I maintain
| that Wilson was and still il
right, even if Mr.. Churchill
Mr.. Roosevelt and Stain are OF
a different opinion. National
| situations are permanent ano
national justice does not depeno
| on military victories or defeats
1 am so deeply persuaded the
Wilson Line should be adopted
! by any minded expert that
| should not hesitate to pro.
pose that the dispute be
brought before committee OF
international umpires tn e Sc
| men to take into account al
factors in the case and reach
their decision along the lines OF
common sense. A decision ar
rived at by international arbi'
traitors would harm nobedy's
prestige and would be rejected
only by nationalist gangsters
If Italians and Yugoslavs were
wise enough they would settle
this matter among themselves
and then go before the repre-
sentatives of the great powers
and tell them to mind their owr
business. All other local prob
lems between neighboring coun
tries in Europe should be sin1i
larly solved. Will this happen
= I am not at all hopeful.

lions approved by the Army CEN
sors. These camp libraries provide
self-educationa opportunities to
many thousands of prisoners from

illogical books desired by prisoners

aspire to the ministry at such time
as they may be free to enroll in
theological schools in Europe.

The LIST is especially constructed
for the transporting of troops and
heavy equipment. 1t has bow
that can be opened when it comes
into the beach which enables men
and equipment to land ready for
action. This type of amphibious
craft is as large as a destroyer, and
it is the largest of the amphibious
ships capable of making landings
directly on the beach.
Like the Naval Air Force and the
Submarine Service, the physical re-
quirements of the Amphibious Force

every landing that has been made
to date, the Amphibious Force has
carried the men and material into
the beaches, such is the quality of
the training given to both officers
and enlisted men, and the sturdi-
ness of the craft which they oper-
ate.
