SPEECH BY DUCE
DISAPPOINTED AUDIENCE
(Received December 10, 1 p.m.)
ROME, December 9.
Despite the tense excitement of Senators, in the presence of the Crown Prince and four Royal Dukes in the galleries, Signor Mussolini disappointed those expecting an important pronouncement, and spoke for only two minutes, merely thanking the Senate for its resolution. The Italian people, he said, had not before placed such faith in the Duce, who interpreted the will of the entire nation. ■ "I can assure you that Italy's African and European interests will be strenuously defended," he added ,and sat down amidst thunderous applause.
The Government news broadcast significantly referred to the Paris proposals, stating that it is believed Signor Mussolini will soon instruct Baron Aloisi to go to Geneva, as official quarters in Paris believe the proposals are satisfactory .to Italy.
