In his speech at the Mass Meeting
held on Sunday March l6 at the
Lexington Theatre in New York to
promote the dollar loan that the tia
liam Government is now launching III
the United States, Baron AvezZana,
the Italian Ambassador, after having
touched on the reason why the sup
port of Italy in her reconstruction
work was not only National and
Italian question but matter OF Su-
preme necessity, interesting the world
and civilization, stated the reasons
why every confidence could be shown
III the recuperatiye forces OF this
nation and of its early return to
normal conditions.
Italy, the Ambassador said, during
the year since the signing OF the
armistice, without any increase OF
her exterior debt, with her own re-
sources, has transformed the war ma
chine into a peaceful one, and has
increased the production and eXpor-
tation, whilst by a new and efficient
taxation and with home loans lthc
last one of which has attained the
remarkable figure OF over 70 billion
/ lire) they are confident that the next
! budget will meet the whole eNpcn-
| diture and the monetary circulation
will be reduced.
/ One OF the points that has been
often brought up against the inan-
cial policy of Italy has been that She
! has not proceeded, on account OF in
ternational and interior considera-
tions, with sufficient speed, in de,
mobilizing her army, thus supporting
much expenditure that otherwise
could have been use in her economic
reconstruction This, the Ambassador
says, is not true; he IS able to state
officially that only three classes and
precisely the classes 1897, % and ~,
that is, a little over four hundred
thousand men are still under arms,
so that over five million men have
been given back to the land and to
the industries, and are at present
working and producing. They would
do still more il they were able to
obtain more coal and raw materials
The forces still under the flag will
be very soon reduced to a minimum
as the consequence of the bills on
the Army and Navy that the Cabinet
has submitted to the House.
The whole Italian internationaI
policy was inspired by the principle
of a sincere conciliation, forgiveness
and collaboration amongst all the
people of Europe, the victorious as
we'll as the vanquisehd, and great
praise should be given to the prim,
Minister. Nitti, for the clear enun
citation and efficient support OF this
q conception, as the only one that car
: bring Europe to an effective state o.
i peace.
Even the entrance OF so many so
cialst and popular parties in thu
House, was, he said, guarantee o
= the stability Of the Italian nation
/ because it made it possible for ltal.
- to proceed peacefully in that socls
,, transformation that the labor class
es desire, and that we must conside
as a necessary consequence OF wa
p in which every class took part wit
j unlimited sacrifices.
