Rome, June 19.-The italian gov
ernment resigned yesterday follow
ing an adverse vote against it in the
Chamber of deputies. Premier Or-
lando, in announcing his resigna-
ton AMI that of the cabinet, sald
King Victor Emmanuel had reserv-
ed decision as to acceptance.
The Chamber had by vote of 259
to rs rejected Premier Orlando's
motion in favor of discussing the
question of confidence, which re-
lated to the foreign policy of the
government in secret session.
Prior to the vote Premier Orlando
in addressing the chamber said:
Italy'S Peace With Germany Solved,
said Orlando.
''Italy's peace with Germany and
Austria has been solved in man
ner with which, on the wholei l feel
satisfied
Insisting on the necessity of Sc
cret session, the Premier declared
+bo+ tho oouornpon+ poodod prpatar
confidence and would treat his mo-

The Socialists Immediately oppos-

Signor Orlando in his address said
Italy's position had been consider
ably aggravated by the international
events during the second fortnight
of April He referred to President
Wilson's message regarding the Ad-
riatic question.
The Italian delegation at the
peace conference the Premier said,
had followed this policy:
"First-Maintain with firmness
all the essential points of the Ital-
ian claims, without which Italy
is convinced peace will be neither
just nor adequate to the immense
sacrifices suffered
'Second-Remain faithful in your
duties toward the allies.
"Third-Avoid any blind form of
obstinate intransigeance. Indeed
facilitate concinatory suggestions
capable of producing accord in the
conference over the problems con-
cerning Italian frontiers
Signor Orlando urged parliament
to separate the discussion of foreign
affairs from the internal policy of
the country, the latter being virtually
absorbed in the grave question of
the high cost of living. Past history
showed, he said, that internal pertur-
bations we're transitory and that
equilibrium soon would be regained
The government the Premier con-
tinued was determined to strength
en- the defense of consumers against
the cupidity of speculation, which
had assumed almost the form of fol-
ly. The government intended to sup
press to the utmost possible the
Vaccinations of the middle man and
aid in bringing about cooperation
among consumers. Having complete
control of bread, rice, cereals, sugar
and petroleum, he added, the gov
ernment would sell that at low fix
ed prices. Meat would be imported,
he said, and distributed at the cost
without profit and without tax
In summing up the situation, Signor
Orlando said:
"The deep unrest throughout the
world leads to pessimism such as
was never experienced during the
war. Immediately after the armistice
was signed the peoples in general,
Italians in particular. never went
through such dark days as now This
is the most acute phase of the i'm
mense crisis arising from the war.
Nevertheless. am lot discouraged,
believing, as do IT the situation
gradually will amelivrate.'
