to participate in the debate
Adherents of Premier Bonomi were
hopeful that his declaration of policy
before the Chamber would avert another
government crisis. In drafting his
speech, the premier planned to defend
the home and foreign policies of the
government, contending that the minis
try had acted for Italy's best interests
in:
1. Maintaining an impartial attitude to-
ward the Fascist (extreme Nationalists)
