CONFIDENCE OF ITALIANS.
Chamber Passes Vote Concerning the
Government

Government
Rome.-The Italian Chamber passed
vote Of confidence in the Govern
ment, ALB TO 49.
Admiral Bettolo, ex-Minister of Ma
rine, presented the resolution calling
for vote of confidence in the Cabi-
net. The Admiral said he approved of
the reasons for neutrality as given by
Premier Salandra.
Italy's neutrality was not due to un-
satisfactory military conditions in this
country, Admiral Bettolo said, but to
the fact that Italy was not obliged to
follow the central empires of Europe.
The former Minister added:
Our neutrality must be strongly
armed to enable US to defend the SUI
preme interests Of the country if they
are threatened or unrecognized. Our
neutrality should be an expression of
Italy's diplomatic and military power"
