Says Order Is Perfect. "Now public order is perfect indeed, and this is a boast which few nations can make nowadays. There is not a sins-le strike in Italy. "Everything leads" us to hope that the entire country is ready to devote itself wholeheartedly to the much -needed task of reconstruction. This being the position posi-tion of affairs in Italy, it is easy to imagine im-agine how hard it seems to us that our condition is not judged with justice and equity, especially by our friends in America. T have often told them that their obstinacy in Knot helping us solve our difficulties is only explained by their having an incorrect, that Is. no just, ap- preciation of our efforts and sacrifices. "It is useless to hide the truth. Italy feels that she has been unjustly treated. Let us look at the question dispassion-ately: dispassion-ately: Of the three European powers which waged war against Germany. Italy is the country -that, proportionately to her national riches, resources and population, popula-tion, suffered the most and is still suffering. suf-fering. We are still eating war bread; the meat supply is absolutely inadequate to the needs of the population, and there Is not enough milk for the children and sick. We have no coal 'and are buumng the remainder of our forests. "In addition, Italy was the only country coun-try among the allies which entered the war spontaneously by its own choice. France fought because Germany invaded her territory; England because she had guaranteed the neutrality of Belgium and would have dishonored herself by being false to her word. Italy was drawn into th, conflict by three reasons: By her senwe of ideality; by her determination to sacrifice herself in order to oppose a monstrous domination, ami. finally, to obtain her unredeemed national territory.
