Tomorrow is Italy Day.
Italy is our ally in this war—
her front is our front. Every
mile of ground gained by Italy
means thousands of our sildiers
saved. We want Italy to win
for Italy’s sake. but we also
want Italyto win for our sake.
We count Italy a necessary part.
nor in the world fight for self
government. We are unre-
servadiy with her. We want her
to know this. Now is our chance
to mass our proof that we rec-
ognize her as an invaluable
ally. Fly Italian flags and let.
the Italian national anthem be
heard May 24th. It; is the least
we at home can do.
