Appeals to Parliament.

Signor Orlando urged parliament to
separate the discussion of foreign af-
fairs from the internal policy of the
country. the latter being virtually alb
sorbed in the grave question Of the high
cost Of living. Past history showed, he
said, that internal perturbations were
transitory and that equilibrium soon
would be regained.
The government, the premier con-
tinued. was determined to strengthen
the defense Of consumers against the
cupidity Of speculation, which had as
sumed almost the form Of folly. Tho
government intended to suppress to the
utmost possible the Vaccinations OF
the middleman and aid in bringing
about cooperation among consumers.
Having complete control of bread,
rice, cereals, sugar and petroleum.. he
added, the government would sell
them at low-priced figures. Meat
would be imported. he said, and dis
tributed at the cost without profit and
