Rome, Monday. June 28.-'Tran-
cesco Nitti, the new Italian premier,
is undoubtedly a statesman who is
most friendly to America" said
Guglielmo Marconf today in speaking
Of the new cabinet.
It is known that Signor Nttti wishes
to establish close financial economic
relations with America to bring about
the resurrection Of Italy from J the
consequences Of the war. He has
the highest regard for President VIII
as a fellow, educator as yell as a poll
tician. ~"
The newspapers favorable to Baron
Sonnino, former minister Of foreign
affairs. and the nationalist press are
unfavorable to the new cabinet, main
tanning it Is not particularly keen to
uphold Italy's claims, but Tomasco
Tittoni. the new foreign minister, who
will be the first Italian delegate at
Paris, has declared "a satisfactory
peace for Italy must be such as will
allow her to conclude equitable treat
les, insure raw materials for her ina
rdustries, protect her emigration and
safeguard her position in the Adri-
attic and Mediterranean. besides giving
her her legitimate colonies"
Impartial political observers agree
that the downfall of the Orlando min
istry was due to Italy's disapproval
Of the handling of the nations affairs
at the peace conference.
"The new government must go to
Paris with a firmer resolve to secure
the ends for which Italy fought" said
Captain Gabriele> d'Annunzio, the
Italian poet-aviator, today. ''Woe to
it if it should return without having
accomplished this mission. Italian
claims on the Adrfatic must be al
lowed. This is the dictum of the Ital-
ian people which has been expressed
several times by the people and par
