ITALIAN GOVERNMENT SUSTAINED.
Di Rudini Speaks for Maintaining
the European Concert.

ROME. April i2.--Trhe chamber OF dep
uties today. by vote OF 2ss to 2is. adopted
a resolution expressing confidence Ia the
government.
The Marquis Di Rudni. premier and
minister of the interior. during the course
OF a long speech pointed out that vote
approving OF the policy of the government
would not signify opposition 10 Greece,
but would be I'm favor OF hbertq, JUS
tice and the balance OF power In the Med
iterranean. thus tending to promote the
peace OF the world. The government. he
continued Is solicitous of the true inter
ests Of the country. but is often forced TO
assume ungrateful responsibilities.
Replying to the instructions sent TO
Admiral Canevaro. the premier said they
might be summed up in the words Italy
cannot undertake police duty for any
body. but the interests OF Italy in the Med
iterranean require her 10 remain faithfai
to the concert of the powers. The dangers
of the moment are grave. and Italy VIII
cooperate In maintaining the uitimatum
of the powers
In conclusion, the Marquis Di Rudini
said: I'VE interviewed In Crete with the
sole object OF being useful TO the popnla-
ton OF that island. and we are fully con-
scious of our duties"
