Rome, Feb. 8.-Premier Nitti dis
cussed the Italian foreign policy in
the chamber of deputies.
I'm the critical hour of our his
tory" said the premier, ut is in
dispeusable to tell the entire truth,
even if we have to do so with an
aching heart. Foreign policy has
an influence on home policy, and
home policy on foreign policy, so
that the two must harmonic.
my government has been ac-
cused of weakness by those desiring
reaction.
Those who were most insistent
that we enter the war render now
the worst possible service by saying
that we obtained nothing. We must
remember that all Italians who de-
sired war asked only for Trent and
Trieste. 1t is therefore mistake to
say that nothing was obtained when
our terms are more than satisfied.
Give Up Fiume.
I'm other questions where Italy lis
most interested, namely, the Adri-
attic, Constantinople and Asia Minor,
Italy must be guided by the hroadest
principles of nationality. The spon-
taneous plebiscite at Fiume, declar-
ing a desire to join Italy, created a
new political situation which caused
series of difficulties. There can be
only two solutions-either the pact
OF London, which we claim as our
right, or the solution we invoke il,
the name of justice, consisting of
harmonizing the interests, tenden-
cies and aspirations of the Italian
people with those OF the Jugo-Slav
people"
The socialist deputy Bombacci, in
terrupting, asked: WHO rules in
Fiume, the Italian government or

1T would be dishonest if l ac-
cepted the past Of London without
pledging myself to evacuate Fiume,

premier.
Signor Nitti deplorcd the attacks

ers, especially America -.
Did the conservatives expect me
to act like Don Quixote? Did they
expect me to declare war on Amer
