HE city to-day extends most cordial welcome to the members of the Italian War Commission to the United States. f It greets them collectively as representing another great ally of this nation in the cause of democracy. It greets them indi- Vidually as Italians of eminent achievement and distinction, each of whom is admirably fitted to bring advice and to take counsel upon ome one particular and practical phase of the war. ' The Prince of Udine, who heads the mission, is not only the rep- orem of the Royal Italian Government and the House of Savoy, it also a practiced U boat hunter who has been doigg valiant service in the Mediterranean. His Excellency the Hon, Enrico Carlotta, Italian Minister of Transportation and former Minister of Finance, is thoroughly fa- miliar with Italian business and banking, in both of which he has had wide experience. His special work is to present Italy’s transpor-| tation problem, The Marquis Luigi Borsarelli di Rifreddo is Under Secretary of! State for Foreign Affairs and empowered to speak for the Italian Foreign Minister, Baron Sonnino, on matters involving Italy’s atti-| tude toward and relations with the other nations of the allied group. | Senator Guglielmo Marconi is as well Known in this country as in! his own. One of the greatest practical scientists of this or any age,| his brain has been constantly busy with efforts to make his great) invention, the wireless telegraph, still more effective for purposes of war and especially against U boats. He has not ceased those efforts. ; The Hon, Augusto Ciufelli, Member of the Italian Chamber of! Deputies and former Minister of Public Works, is a thorough-going| democrat and a man specially equipped to speak of Italy’s economic} needs. Prof. Francesco Severio Nitti, lately Minister of Agriculture, Industry and Commerce, has made himself an expert advocate for the more extended utilization of water power in Italy, but will not allow America to forget that in the meantime Italy must have coal. Altogether a most carefully selected, well-rounded mission in which all talents are included and all capacities utilized. | New York is honored by the presence of such guests and will do its best to make their visit here a‘memorable one. a NOT SACRIFICES FOR PROFIT GRABBERS. ET us be thankful there is more breadth of vision in the United States Senate than that accorded to legislators like Senators Gore and Reed, who profess to see nothing but “short-sighted policy” in a Food Control Bill which aims to protect wage-earning Americans from the raids of food speculators and price boosters. “When we are paying more for food in this country than they are in London,” declares Senator Kenyon, “there is something wrong. No fine-spun theories can convince us otherwise. J would as soon have a dictatorship of a food controller as the dictatorship of the food gamblers.” “The people—farmers, laborers and everybody—have got to make sacrifices and are willing to, The small salaried man certainly is doing so now.” Right. And every American who makes such tifices is entitled to a guarantee from the United States Government that he makes them for his country and not to swell the war profits of traitorous plunderers and thieves, ——- 74 = ——___.
