ITALIAN UNITY.
Rome, April Addressing the crowd at the station on his arrival- Signor Orlando, with tears in his eyes, said the demonstra- tions of the Italians in Paris and the popular demonstrations in Italy on his journey to Rome had proved that the Italian delegations had faithfully interpreted the will of the people. The situation was grave. Italy might be confronted with fresh and greater sacrifices and privation but Italy was greater than ever and was reads. Food supplies were failing, but Kaly which had known bunger had never known dishonour. "Perhaps we shall find ourselves alone, but Italy must be united and have a single will. Italy won't perish." The speech was puctuated with cheers for America and Italy, Down with Wilson" and cries of "We will face anything." General Diaz and Signor Barzilas also spoke and were imilarly acclaimed

That the country responsible for the doctrine of self- Ty decermination of peoples. which is 30 completely and calamitously misunderstood in these eastern lands, should take the lead in recognising Britain's position in Egypt has brought home with added force the futility of their ex- aggerated aspirations.
