Problems Arising from Distrust
The American Ambassador, pro- posing "the day we celebrate" said that they had reason to be thank- ful because the fundamentally friendly relations between the Brit- ish and Amercian peoples con- tinued unimpaired. "Difference of opinion will, of course, arise," he added. "That could not be other- wise. But I for one believe with every fibre of my being that neither people would knowingly or willing- ly do the other an injustice, nor permit an Injustice to be done the other. The signing of the Pact in Paris gives us all reason for pro- found thankfulness. For It means that the nations, by removing war and agreeing to peaceful settle- ments, have at length turned their faces in the direction where na- tional security and a durable peace may more hopefully and more certainly be sought.

II Duce in Unusual Role
On the Appian Way which Caesar's legions trod, Premier Mussolini of Italy, and his small son, Romana, enjoy a horseback rido. The occasion was the opening by Ii.Duce of the Roman hunting season, for which event he caused a crack cavalry regiment to be turned out as escort.
Mr. Baldwin quoted from this the
