The Newv World owes to Italy the debt of the old and more. May she not well remember that it was tie son of a Genoese wool comber whose unflagging spirit revealed her existence to Europe. that the Florentine. Amerigo Vespucci. was her godfather. and that the voyages of the Cabots and Verrazano first traced the North American coast line and cleared the way for pioneer immigration. There must be a strange lack of memory and of recognition of service when prejudice against southern Latin origin would put up an irrational bar of entry il tie face of the countrymen of Columbus. The Italian by training and environment is a child of sunshine. and is less responsible for the slum conditions obtaining in our large cities than is the owner of the property or makers of laws which allow insanitary conditions to obtain.
