Rome, June lH-Premler Mus
solini made his promised speech be-
fore the senate today on Italys re-
lations with the other powers and
his governments foreign policy.
The early part of his speech was
devoted to describing the good re-
latlons which Italy enjoys with the
nations OF Asia and Africa, as we'll
as the United States and Great Brit
ain.
Speaking of the United States,
Mussolini said that country had
played very great role since the
War-a predominant role in the his
tory OF the world. The relations be-
tween the two countries were char
acterized recently by three events OF
special portance-regu of
the war debt. initiation of the con-
terence on naval ornaments and the
Signature in April Of a treaty of ar
bltration and conciliation
He recalled that Italy had de-
cllned the invitation of the United
states to participate in the naval
disarmament conference at Geneva.
Refers TO Conference
In note answering the Ameri-
can proposal" he explained, Il
showed the reasons why Italy could
not Join in the conference, which
was held without Italy or France.
The gathering resulted in complete
failure, particularly because of the
great Emergencies between the
United States and England with re-
gard TO fixing tonnage and the num-
Der of cruisers.
The character of the treaty of
Cancellation and arbitration between
the United States and Italy is de-
fined in its articles, and above all,
in its preamble. Now, there is on
the program Secretary Kcllogg's
prposal. ltalys attitude has been de-
fined in letter made public.
Before leaving the subject of
ltalyAmerican relations" continued
Mussoini, Il wish to touch on two
questions which now and then eX-
cite polemics and kindle the inter-
est of American public opinion. Con-
corning the immigration law and
the relative quota, We are sorry for
the reasons which cause the estab-
lishmcnt of the quota, but other
wise it leaves us practically indiffer-
ent.
For the last two years or more
the fascist government has followed

control of emigration. That the Unit
ed States modify or maintain the So
called immigration bill is its own
affair."
Passing to European affairs, the
premier declared that 1.-The tradi-
tional talo-British friendship WAS
not merely a common expression,
but a reality, because the friendship
of the two peoples are profound.
They collaborated in the great war
and together had reached peace.
Fantastic Reports

with Sir Austen Cham berlain, the
British foreign secretary, in 1925 at
I;apallo and in 1896 at Leghorn. Sir
Austen had even been accused OF
cncoura ging fascist imperialism. and
later certain events were explained
as kind of authorization Cham
berlain might have given Italian
policy.
Nothing was ever more fantas-
tic said the premier. Italy Of to-
day need ask no authorization for
her policies. She is perfectly au-
tonomous in following her foreign
policy. One Of the bases of this pol
icy is the friendship OF England,
which needs no protocols TO be for
