Show THE LEANING TOWER OF ITALY From a lottor to tho Editor of tho Now York Trlbuno Ever since tho beginning ot tho wnr tho newspapers havo boon tell lng us that Italy is on tho vorgo of Joining tho Allies, nut, llko tho famous fam-ous tower ot tholr beautiful city Pisa, Pi-sa, tho Italians aro always leaning without falling. Has it ovor occurred to tho roadlnn public that possibly Italy's nttltudo Is desired by Germany? Should Italy sldo with Oermany ond Austria sho would havo hor hands full defending horsolf against hostllo attacks, but by romnlnlng neutral sho is aiding Germany In tho best way possible Italy's enormous imports of food; Bluffs, coppor, etc., aro surely not rrfado for her own consumption, and jio doubt n largo porccntago ot them finds its way Into Germany. All this would naturally Btnp at onco should Italy openly nld Germany. Funny, Isn't It, that fao Allies always al-ways oxpoct great things from othor nntlons, whllo Germany expects nothing no-thing from othors, but hns supromo confidence In hor own ability to remain re-main master ot tho situation? |
