 More than two years have passed" said the king since the first visit of the inter parliamentary committee of the French chambers. when you and we were in the throes of conflict. the issue of which then seemed to many foreign observers uncertain. although you and we never doubted that our cause, being the cause of right and humanity, would prevail. Now the ar mics of France, Italy. Belgium and the United Sates, side by side with ours. are driving the enemy before them. his forces shattered, his people clsmoring for peace.
 Victory is wihin our reach. And we are all agreed that it must be con- plete victory. I congratulate you, sen- ators and deputies of Italy. on the prospect which opens before you of re- covering the regions guarded by these Alpine snows. where your valiant sol diers have won such glory-regions in ] speech, who have long desired to be united to free Italy.
