HER AMBITIONS

Rome, Sunday, Jan. IA, via Paris,

in connection with the war were ex-
planned and defended today by Fran
cesco Rufini. minister of public in
struction and a historian of prpmin-
inenoe, In q statement to the Asscci-
ated Press.
"The note OF the allies to President
Wilson," he said makes a point
which is understandable to neutrals,
and particularly to America. Italy no
less than her allies. awaits with calm
confidence the realization Of the aims
set forth in that passage of the note
which refers to the redemption OF 1tal-
ians subject to Austria"
Referring to the Trentino. Istria and
Dalmatia, he said:
"These territories have had only one
civilization in their history. that of
Italy, and only one great humiliation
which must cease-that of foreign
domination which attempted to de-
stroy the principle of nationality.
Austria was responsible for the out
break of the conflict, having willed war
with Serbia after provoking Italy a
hundred times with violent persecu-
tions of Italians Of Trent. Trieste.
Fiume and lara, whom she denied
even the right to educate themselves in
their own language.
Italy counts on the considered and
tranquil judgment Of American public
opinion, which while Justly desiring
the return of peace, cannot. if it exam
ines the origin of the conflict and the
problem raised thereby. wish that the
European equilibrium broken by vio-
lence in 1914, be replaced today by a
premature and unfruitful peace con-
tanning the germs of graver conflicts
in the future"
