By the Associated Press, ~ CHICAGO, May 27. west, it Is wonderful; torio Rolandi Ricei, Ital dor to the United States, while rest- ing with his staff in Chicago after spending several days in the central states en route from California to Washington. “With its many farms, large industries and hard-working, serfous-minded people, the middle west offers o any man the golden opportunity,” .he continued. “I am proud that ‘many of my countrymen have contributed to the development of this great district. “I have found Italians here, as elsewhere, frugal. industrious and 800d citizens. They have contrib- uted more to the wealth of others than to their own, perhape, but grad- ually they have augmented their own worldly goads, and in the future, I am sure, they will receive just con- sideration.- “It is a faot that Italians in this country are among America’s best citizens. Their loyalty and patriotism for their adopted country has been proven time and again. We insist that in coming to America they be- come American citizens and be only American citizens.” Wants No Dry Country. The Italian ambassador expressed himself as not being in favor of pro- hibition. “Prohibition is a law that the American people have given to { themselves.” he said, “but I feel they will modify. suppress or abolish it as soon as sentiment becomes greater. I certainly wish that no country in the world should be @ry. You see. Italy produced last fall 45,000,000 quintals (a quintal is one-tenth ton) =~ of wine, and we would like to find & market ‘for such a great production. My feelings would be like those of the meat packing interests of Amer- fca if this country should become foreibly vegetarian. “I have not been able to detect any difference in American women which would entitle me to make a distinction between the flapper type and any other. Flappers, as well as other women, attract attention when they are handsome and pretty. If they are homely or awkward one looking upon them thinks they had better not attract the looks of men with any kind of eccentricity. . Woman's Duty Motherhood. “As to the hair, long or short, it does not make any difference to me. A woman knows best how to make herself beautiful and no man dare say her no. "I don’t think that in Italy we have a distinct type of woman we would call flapper. “But after all and above all, women have in common a principal duty! Motherhood. Have children, take care of them and make them physically and morally worthy cit- izens. Now. provided they will ac- complish this task, the fact that they have bobbed or long hair, that they wear short skirts, long skirts or knickers, is of no importance.” FAVOR WORLD COURT ON TRADE DISPUTES United States Delegates Among Those in Chamber of Commerce Action Voted in Paris.
