Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. September 29.-The
Italian government and Italian opin-
ion have been surprised, hurt and
rendered somewhat resentful by
Americas lack of understanding of
their motives in the recent Italo-
Greek incident and by the general
ignorance concerning modern Italy
which still seems to prevail among
the American people.
The writer, from long residence in
Italy, during which he has been in
close touch with Premier Mussolini
that friendship with America is one
of the cardinal principles of ltaly's
foreign policy, for the preservation
of which Italy would spare no pains.
To further that friendship Prince
Caetani. the Italian ambassador to
the United States, consented on sew
eral occasions during the voyage
from Italy which the correspondent
has just completed with him to dis
cuss Italy's ideals and ambitions,
especially regarding America.
AmbnssnGor's Statement.
said the ambassador. lin the same
way that the United States, France
or England would have acted under
similar circumstances and as those
nations have acted in the past
THE Italian people are waiting Tor
the authors Of the murder OF Gen.
Tellini and the other members of the
Albanian boundary commission to be
brought to justice: II the Greek
Italian government will have the
right to appropriate 50.00O,000 lire
deposited by Greece and use II TO
indemnify the families of the victims.
Meanwhile I believe preparations for
the evacuation Of Corfu have already
begun. The Italo-Greek incident is
now closed.
1.-The Mussolini government acted
With lightning rapidity and firmness
even apprehension. because some peo-
pie thought Italy had distant and
cleverly concealed purposes. Others
talked of warlike intentions. Events
have proved this unfounded'
(Since these statements were made
the council of ambassadors has
awarded to Italy the full 100000
lire deposited by Greece as a guaranty
in the Tellini incident, and Italy has
evacuated Corfu
Concerning the situation in the
Ruhr Prince Caetani said:
Premier Mussolini has no precon-
ceived notions concerning the Ruhr.
He considers that his London pro-
posals are gradually prevailing. ow-
ing to the force of events. Germany
must pay for the havoc she caused,
but she can best be made to pay
through being put in a position to do
so. 1t must still be determined how
much Germany can pay.
1.-The Fiume question still hangs
fire." he continued. but Italy has
proved that she intends loyalty to
carry out the Rapallo treaty. She
has not even feared to fire upon the
brave and patriotic followers of
D'Annunzio and shed the blood of her
sons, but the autonomous life of
Fiume has proved impossible. Italy
has spent millions, but the city can
not live without finding powerful
moral and financial support. It's
small population cannot bear. unaid-
ed, the weight of such an important
administration.
