Bv Telegranh — CoDvrierht.l
Rec. "Oct. 25, 8.40 p.m. NAPLES, Monday. Addressing a gathering of 60,000 Fascists, Signor Mussolini, in a biting criticism of the Versailles and other treaties asked: — "Must 50 years pass before we close the tragic ledger written with the blood of 14,000,000 young men. Can it be said that there is legal equality between the nations when on one side stand countries armed to the teeth, and on the other side eomplete disarmanent. Moreover, how much longer will it take us to realise that something has broken down in the machinery of the modern world. A clear and extensive readjustment in the relations between capital and labour must take place. The interests of peace cannot be served on the present lines. How can justice be served in a protoeol dicitated by vengeance, rancour, and ,fear. The nations have acted like an aecountant balancing his ledgers."
