CONTROVERSY IN ITALIAN CHAMBER

responsibility upon them, but need
full liberty of action, approved by the
Chamber without which no govern
nent can rule the country in this mo-
ment."
The Premier's speech was constant
ly interrupted by applause and ended
with an ovation.
Giovanni Giolotti, the former pre-
nier. in speech announcing his ap-
proval of the policy of the govern
ment made most important declara-
ton. He said he thought it was nee
essary to emphasize that Italy always
had been loyal to treaties and in this
connection added: Il feel it my duty
to recall a precedent showing how
correct was the Interpretation of the
alliance by the government when the
conflict began. During the Balkan
war. on Aug. 9, 1913. being absent
from Rome I received the following
telegram from the Marquis De San
Giuliane, who was at the time refer
red to. minister of foreign affairs in
the cabinet of which Senior Giolitti
was premier;
" Austria has communicated to us and
llidl IL has p6tIl the intention 10
act against Servia, defining such action
as defensive and hoping for an applica-
ton of a casus foederis by the Triple AL
lance. which ! consider inapplicable /
am trying to agree with Germany con-
corning efforts to prevent Austrian action
but 1t may be necessary to say clearly
that we do not consider such eventual ac-
ton as defensive and therefore do not
think that there exists a casus foederis
Please send a telegram saying whether
you approve
I'm answered Marquis Di San Giuliano
thus: IF Austria goes against servia a
casus foederis evidently does not exist
1t is an action she accomplishes on her
own account. 1t is not defensive because
nobody thinks of attacking her. 1t is
necessary to declare this to Austria in
the most formal manner. hoping that
Germany will act to dissuade Austria
from very dangerous adventure,
This was done and our Interpretation
of the treaty was accepted by our allies,
our friendly relations not being in the
least disturbed. Thus the declaration of
neutrality made at the beginning of this
conflict is according to the spirit and let
ter OF the treaties. ! recall this incident,
wishing to demonstrate the complete 10y
atty of Italy before the eyes of Europe"
The former premier was interrupted at
this epoint by great applause. He con-
Guided his address by urging the main
tenance of neutrality until the necessity
should arise to protect Italy's rights. I'm
til then, he said, there should be a loyal
observance of neutrality which alone can
give in any moment complete liberty of
Judgment and action. He recommended
great caution and watchfulness and said
that since the very life of the nation was
at stake the government, Parliament and
the press must be cautious.

Rome, Dec. 5.-(Delayed in trans
enission) To-day, whoever has doubt
ed the fitness of our army; whoever
has intended to expose the vieissitudes
traversed for military preparations
sins against the Fatherland."
Such was the declaration made in
the Italian chamber today by Premier
HSalandra, prior to the passage of a
resolution expressing confidence in the
government. This statement was in
cluded in speech delivered in an
swer to attacks by certain deputies on
the. government. On Thursday at the
opening of Parliament, the premier
made a statement in which he explain
ed the situation of Italy, and advised
that she maintain ansattitude of loyal,
but watehful and armed neutrality.
He also alluded to whta he termed
the Just aspirations of italy.
Today those who spoke in the cham
Der especially the members of the Elk
IRENE LETT, tried to construe this state
nent according to their own views.
Some urged the government to make
more explicit declarations while 9TH
ers attacked the cabinet asserting that
Italy notwithstanding her heavy mil
itary expenses, was obliged to remain
neutral owing to military unprepared-
ness.
Premier Replies
Premier Salandra in reply to these
speakers, expressed regret at the un-
measured language of some of them.
He said that those who arrested that
Thursdays statement was Sphynx
like were wrong and that, on the con-
trary. it was most clear.
Indeed he continued, it had received
the approval of the great majority of
the country, which is not represented
by the Extreme Left and added:
What l said was understood by all
and need have no word added. The
vote must be given on my declaration,
but further explanation is impossi-
Bile because it is against the interests
of the state.
Regarding military preparation,
can affirm that the Italian army and
navy are ready for any event. For this
military preparation though we and
our predecessors have assumed grave
responsibilities which Parliament will
be able TO Judge later from docu-
ments, but not now.
To-day, whoever has doubted the fit
ness OF cur army, whoever has intend
ed to expose the vicissitudes traversed
for military preparation sins against
the Fatherland."
