Rome. Jan. 1e.-The special meeting
OF the chamber Of deputies which was
called 70 consider measures Of relief
for the devastated provinces of south
Italy was marked by expressions OF
sympathy and grief over the terrible
disaster. The government relief meas
ures, which were entrusted to q parlia-
mentary committee. were adopted by q
vote Of 406 to 3. The dissenting votes
were greeted by bowls and Kisses, while
prolonged applause followed the an
nouncement of the result.
Some of the members who partici-
pated il the rescue criticised the relief
organization, especially the decision OF
the government to entrust il to the
military authorities.
Premier Giollotti declared that the
military have never asked that a state
Of siege be proclaimed, but that it was
only thought of when the project of
the city Of Messina had informed him
that looting had begun on a large scale.
