Italy
A NEW POLICY. SENSATIONAL SPEECH BY THE PREMIER. MUST BE READY FOR WAR. Received 4, 7.40 p.m. Rome, Decefliber 4. Signer Salandra (the Premier), speaking at the opening of Parliament, declared, amid indescribable enthusiasm, that neutrality cannot be the exclusive aim of Italian policy. The political configuration was, perhaps, about to be transformed, and Italy must maintain her vital interests and just aspirations, Tl\c Government's supreme concern was to complete the preparation of the army and navy. The lessons of history, and still more what was happening to-day, taught that, if the rule of right ceases force remains as the only guarantee for the people's safety. Italy had no aggressive aims, but must arm as effectively as possible. The hour demanded a strong and firm Government, -and if Parliament strengthened its hands, the Cabinet would devotedly pursue the defence of the country's present interests with vigilant concern for its future destines. •
The Radical and Democratic groups resolved to support the Premier.
