ROME (By Maii) with the new
parliamentary elections on May IS
here is every indication that Italy
viii enter on a new era. where freed
from the menace II radicalism and
voluntarily giving up her past poll
icy Of territorial expansion, she will
devote her best energies 20 internal
reconstruction, both materially and
socially.
This is the electoral program out
lined by Premier Giolit.l at the mo-
ment he dissolved the last chamber
and there is every indication that
Tho country responding again 20 his
statesmanship will rcturn a chamber
wherein there will be a big workable
majority for carrying out the inter
nal reforms which now constitute
ltaiy's crying need.
The oonvening OF his new cham
Der on June II will mark an epoch
In 1taly's history from several points
Of view First Of all. the number Of
deputies increased to 5S5 BY reason
of the newly acquired provinces, will
give Italy its first chamber repre-
senting Italy as uniiiel whole.
These $50 deputies will come from
4 different electoral districts, where
II half a dozen were created out of
nwiy added provinces including Hara,
Parenzo, Gorilla. Trieste, Bolzano
and Trent.
In the second place. the new
chamber will mark that definite
epoch which has already been passed
by all Of the other alliei countries,
wherein Italy can be said 10 take up
at last the new life created for her
by the war.
BY the treaty OF Rapaiio, Giolitti
established not only the last DIS
puted boundaries Of the new terri
tory acquired by Italy through the
war. but established likewise final
friendly relations with the Yugoslavs.
Italy therefore has acquired the ma
tural strategic frontiers which she
has always insisted were indispens-
able TO her national safety and she
has established friendly relations
with all Of the States outgrow-
ing from the break-up Of the
Austrian Hungarian empire. namely,
Yugoslavia, Roumania. Checho-slo-
valxia and Poland. Giolitti also i'm
posed on italy the giving up Of all
plans for territorial expansion in
Albania and along the eastern Adri-
attic coast generally.
Radicalism is no longer a danger
n Italy and this problem has been
settled precisely as It was settled,
only more quickly, in France and the
northern war countries.
In the new elections, It is expect
that both the socialist and pop
llar parties win lose heavily. From
he 154 deputies which the socialists
elected in 1919 elections, the NUM-
Der is expected from anywhere from
10 to 100.
The broad lines Of Italy's internal
reconstruction program are the re-
adjustment of the budget so as TO
wipe out the four billion deficit which
still remains; the reformation OF
