BELLICOSE MUSSOLINI
VIOLENT SPEECH TO FASCISTS DICTATOR KEEN TO ARM ENEMIES AWAITED. (United Association —By Electric Telegraph Oopyngnt.i FLORENCE, May IS. “Italy’s friendship is precious, but its enmity is hard,” said Signor Mussolini at a Fascist gathering here last night. “There is great ignorance about us abroad. They think we are a minor people, but we tire a nation of 40,000,000. They think w© are governed by tyranny, but it is t-h© Italian people who govern. Th© Italian people are capable of great sacrifices. “More important than my speech today are big guns and machine-guns. Tlx© new naval programme shall be carried out exactly as laid down. The Fascist will is a will of iron. There are people who think they can isolate Italy and would not be averse to starting a war against the Italian people even through the territory of a third Power. We await them at the. crossing!” (Wild cheers.) “Though words are beautiful things, machine-guns, ships and aeroplanes are still more beautiful,’.’ the Dictator concluded. “Right is. a vain word unless accompanied by might.’.’
