Text Of Speech
The text of his speech follows;
Comrades, War Wounded and
Blackshirts: Twenty years ago to-
day, Italy took a supreme decis-
ion. This occurred after we had
dispersed those who wished to
bind italy with an attitude which
would have weighed on our consci-
ence for centuries. After 20 years
we feel that there could not have
been a different decision.

people are clad In black shirts
They are people who are brave
and willing to dare to overcome

lude himself. We are very atten-
tive before adopting a decision. But

$2O, 900 CiDiL Action Is Started To-day
Victoria MOhrhusen of Forest Hills, L. I Sues Laube Interstate, Inc., of Waterbury for Crash of Cars
 in Which She Was Hurt Badly

The suit is the result of a crash at Westport, February 1, 1884, be- tween the car in which Mrs. Mohr- husen was riding and Laube truck. The complaint says the Mohrhugen car, driven by the plaintiffs hus- band, Arthur H. Mohrhusen, was proceeding down steep hill, made dangerous by snow and ice, when the mishap occurred.

 In the crash, the woman was thrown against the windshield of her car, which was shattered by the force of the blow. The woman sus- tained severe cust about the face and head, in addition to 8 brain concussion. It is charged in the complaint that the plaintiff will be permanently disfigured about the face as a result of the jajgged cuts and that her eyesight will be affect ed permanently.

PENALTIES ARE
 TO BE INFLICTED
Fifty Nations Will Decide on What Italy Will Have
 to Suffer
BY WALLACE CARROLL

'&JYyHIHhts 1UOVb Uy ohhtCA AC0oV
 Geneva, October 8-(UP)-Specif- ic penalties against Italy for war ring on Ethiopia. will be put into effect early next week, League of Nations delegates predicted today.
 Viewing Italy as already virtually an outlaw among league nations, statesmen arriving here for tomor- rows assembly meeting. indicated that there was no means left if impeding the imposition of financial and economic penalties.
 It is the first time the league ever has tried to use the crushing ma- chinery it's covenant provides for punishing nation which attacks league member. It was but a few weeks ago that league men themselves were discussing the pos sibility that an effort to penalize Italy would wreck the league.
 Nations Are Ready
 Yet the statesmen of 50-odd na- tions who were arriving on every train today left no doubt that they were ready to apply to Fascist Italy the penaltines of the covenant.
 When the assembly - the con- gross of the league at which all members are represented meets tomorrow, it is foreshadowed that a big committee will be named at once to recommend specific eco- homie and financial penalties which all members will be asked to apply.
 On this committee, all of Italy's neighbors will be represented -- erland, France and Spain-accord- Greece, Jugoslavia, Austria, Switz- ing to plans.
 On them will hinge the failure or success of the leagues first ef- fort to penalize warning nation, for, if Italy cannot be cut off from land, it cannot be successfully pen alized.
 Even as delegates gathered today the Greek government telegraphed it's chief delegate, Foreign Minister Demetriot Maximos, that Greece, mindful of its obligations, will par ticipate unhesitatingly in penalties.
 In Force Next Week
 It was predicted that by early next week the penalties decided upon will be actually in force.
 Men who have made a study of penalties in preparation for just such crisis as this, went to work today to devise scheme which would be at once practicable and effective.
 They are experts of the big dele- gations and their recommendations will be available for the offlcial as- sembly penalties committee.
 Enforcement of the penalties will be a matter of choice for members of the league. Their willingness tC dare, the wrath of Benito Mussolini will be the final test of the leagues strength and the statesmen's own courage. But the atmosphere today was one of firmness. "
 The league for the first time in it's history, is operating under Arti. cle XVI--whose force kept the United States out of the league of which Woodrow Wilson was the father.
 Any nation which resorts to wal in violation of the covenant, this article says, shall be deemed N have committed sn act of war against all other members Of the league.
