Rome March lS-ln the chamber
Yesterday the premier, Marquis di
Rudini. said that after the defeat the
cabinet had adopted a resolution leaN-
ing Gen. Baldissera free to take prop
er means TO meet the situation, includ-
ing abandoning Adigat and kasSala.
On March S, the premier continued,
Gen. Baldissera was instructed TO
treat for peace or the best terms OBJ
tainable, and, the premier assured the
house, the present. cabinet would con-
tinue the negotiations with prudence
and dignity. This statement was re-
ceived with applause from those in
favor of peace policy and with cries
of disgust and derision from the depu-
ties favoring vigorous colonial poll
cy and a strong effort to retrieve the
Adowa disaster. The premier wait I'd,
smiling at the disturbance until the
uproar had subsidized and then he re-
marked igniticanty: But the gov
eminent is now convinced that III lieu
of treaty of peace hurriedly made, it
would be far preferable 10 first estab-
fish condition of things agreeing
with ltaIys intel ests. In the mean
while. hostilities must continue. "
Once more the premier waited until he
could make himself heard and then
said that Italy would never pursue a
policy of expansion She did not wish
to conquer the Tigre district AMI did
not desire to include an Italian pro&ar-
torate of Abyssinia among The condi-
tons of peace. But the dignity and
honor of the country must be upheld.
The premier then asked the chairman
for credit of 40 000, 900 lire Ter the
expenses of the army in Africa and to
send additional troops there should
such IA step be thought necessary.
He concluded with the words: Lot
us then follow the same prudent
course in our foreign policy as that
which heretofore secured us friends
and alliances" Cheering and cries of
dissent
The reception of the premier's state
ment was, on the whole, favorable. tie
received a perfect ovation from all
parts of the house the deputies rising
and cheering wildly for Italy, the
Italian army and the premier. Later
the credit of l40,000,000 lire 1926 500
