 Italians Want Facts
 Again commenting on Hoare's speech, Mussolini said:
 Italy cannot be strong in Europe as Hoare wishes unless the security of our East African colonies is safe- guarded. The Italian people listen to words but they want facts"
 While Mussolini spoke, Italian bombing planes were roaring through the air over Ethiopia, re- beating yesterdays air raid on Em- peror Halle Selassie's headquarters at Dessye Official reports on the Italian military operations gave emphasis to Il Duce's statements that the war would be pushed until Itily gets what she wants.
 Il Duce spoke for only 15 min- utes and then left the chamber. Immediately after his departure, the deputies who apparently had gathered only to hear his speech, adjourned their sessions until next Tuesday.
 Approaches Blocked
 Fifteen minutes before Mussolini'S arrival at the chamber, all ap- breaches to it were blocked by po- lice and plain-clotheSmen.
 All the deputies were in their seats wearing Fascist uniforms. The crowd inside sang the "Giovinezza," /" Italy's Fascist anthem, until the session was declared open. The tribunes were covered with posters denouncing sanctions and a special bench was reserved for war widows. The press and diplomatic sections were packed.
 Began Speech Early.
 Rome, Dec. 7- (UP) = Premier Benito Mussolini began his speech to the Italian Chamber of Deputies at 3:30 p. m. (9:30 8. m. EST); to- day.
 Mussolini began by declaring that no coalition ''can defeat us" and that "our counter-sanctionS are a legitimate defense
 Il Duce had been given an en- thusiastic reception, the assembled deputies cheering him widely,
 The dictator of Italy immediately attacked the penalties proposed by the League of Nations and announc- ed that Italy considered counter measures legitimate recourse.
 ITO those governments and na- tions who protested against appli- cation of article 16 (of the covenant of the League of Nations), we send our present and future sympathy" MuSsolini said.
 The reference to the nations which refused to vote for the appli- cation of economic and military sanctions against Italy was cheered by the deputies.
 Nations Thanked.
 The nations to which MuSSolini referred were Austria, Albania and Hungary and in part Switzerland, which agreed to penalties with re- servations. Article 16 of the league covenant provides for penalties against an aggressor nation.
 Italy must clarify its position in East Africa "once and for all" the stock Italian leader asserted.
 Il Duce said that negotiations were in progress but that in the meantime the Italian people who love facts more than words would continue to support the advance of their armies, confident of victory.
 "On the 365th day of sanctions we will have the same courage and the same determination as on the first day" Mussolini declared.
 Mussolini finished after speaking for l5 minutes, and left the cham Der immediately. Thereupon the chamber adjourned it's sessions un- til next Tuesday.
 Hope for Peace Gone
 Geneva, Dec. 7-(UP)-League circles today felt all hopes for peace in the Italo-Ethiopian war before the New Year were dimmed by Premier Benito Mussolinis speech before the chamber of depu- ties at Rome.
 International circles here be- lieved that Italy would remain firm despite the threat of even more drastic sanctions such as em. bargos on oil, coal and steel.
