tanza e segnarono la grande be-
nemerenza dell'Italia verso la IL
berta e la civilta del monde per
il suo intervento.

e da essa usciranno affatto can
giate da quel di prima, non solo
nei rapport reciproci degli Stati

lie e morale. E per la nostra TIA
Iia 81 tratta del posto che sara
per assumere mel nuovo assetto

ira nazioni libere o di dominate
