UNEQUAL TREATIES.
SIGNOR MUSSOLINI’S CRITICISM. • CLOSE THE TRAGIC LEDGER.” NAPLES, Oct. 26. Addressing a gathering of 60.030 Fascists, Signor Mussolini, in a fiery criticism of the Versailles and other treaties, asked : “Must fifty years pass before we close the tragic lodger written with the blood of 14,000,000 young men ? “Can it be said that there is legal equity between nations when on one side stand countries armed to the teeth and, on the other side, those condemned to complete disarmament ? Moreover. how much longer will it take us to realise that something has broken down in the machinery of the modern world ?
“A clear and extensive readjustment in the relations between Capital and Labour must take place. “The real interests of peace cannot be served on the present lines. Justice must be served, not a protocol dictated by vengeance, rancour and fear. The nations have acted like accountants balancing tlieir ledgers.”
