ROME, February 6.-Premier Mus
solini. in the Chamber of Deputies this
afternoon. delivered the government g
answer to the anti-Italian campaign
being carried on by the Germans in

peace-to alter slightly the old for
mula and declare that sometimes it is
necessary to pay with two eyes for
the loss of one. with a whole set of
teeth for the loss of one tooth"
Mussolini asserted that the recent
address of the Bavarian Premier
Held concerning the Upper Adige
was simply unheard Of" He ridi-
culed the Bavarians invoking the Lo-
carno spirit. which he described as
l..
supportable and even hypocritical.
like habitual things"
The premier expressed the belief
that the German campaign was based
on ignorance of the virile Italian ma
ton. which had succeeded the Italy of
a generation ago, and added: THE
Germans must learn the truth, since
the Italian policy in the Upper Adige
Will not finch one little bit" He re-
fused to admit that the Germans in
the Upper Adige constituted racia
minority instead of being the re-
sidfum of barbaric invasions of the
Bremen frontier.
II hope my speech will be under

it," Mussolini continued. 80 that the
