ORDER RESTORAT T|OK
AND MAIN TENANCE IS
FIRM POLICY Of ITALY

Rome. Wednesday, July 9.-The lta-
liam government intends to maintain
order with firmness and without hest
tation or weakness, said Francesca
Nitu, premier speaking before parlia-
ment this week. He summarized the
program of the government by saying
that it is planned to hasten the peace
negotiations so that peace can be CON
cluded at once. with the upholding of
Italian national aspirations.
The rapid transformation from war
to peace footing is to be affected.
and what was rendered necessary by
the conflict and has become super
fluous and, indeed, harmful in peace,
will be abolished. The bitter condition
of the people will be alleviated by the
government, which is aiming to lower
prices, without which, he said, lit is
impossible to guarantee social peace"
The supreme duty of the govern.
ment, Premier Ntti said, is the de-
fense Of liberty and order without
which ltaly's position would be weak
ened, and especially abroad, where it
had been impossible as yet to find a
solution for the Adriatic question. At
ter repeating the governments program
of foreign policy as outlined to the
senate by Foreign Minister Tittoni, he
added:
our foreign policy must be the
true policy of the people. The epoch
of secrets-the epoch in which nations
entered into alliance or into war with
out the peoples knowledge-has def
nitely ended for Italy"
Premier Nitti announced that the
army would be demoboli2ed as soon as
the international situation and internal
order allowed. He deplored manifesto
tons, fortunately isolated" aiming to
sow distrust between Italy and her
allies.
Premier Nitti said that in the near
future, Italy would have a foreign debt
of $4,000, 200, 900 and an internal debt
of about sl2 900 900 900, besides a paper
four times that of the days
before the war, while the expense for
the civil services have trebled.
