policy of refraining from pledeges beyond our capacity to perform, else in   
the long rum an anti American reaction might develop.  On the other hand   
any definte pronouncement that America was not interested in respects   
indicated would have a very unwholesome effect upon the public and   
maintenance of order.  America continues to be hope of world i eyes of the   
masses.  Much interest being shown in appointment of an Italian Ambassador   
to Washington.  I offer no comment upon proposal now being made through   
                   appropriate channels.                    
 
                                                            
 
 
The generals introduced were as follows: Major Gerneral Curry, Major   
General Wood, Major General Frank and Brigadier General Miller, all of   
whom as in the case of the officers accompanying them, were greatly   
impressed with audience  and with Pope Himself.
