(Received Dec. 10, 1.30 p.m.) ROME, Dec. 9. *. Signor Mussolini, in a speech at the "final session of Parliament, “We "want peace. We signed the Kellogg !Pact and are ready to sign any other :pacts; but at the same time we do not "want to commit a crime against any 'nation. We must, however, face the » reality, which is that the whole world ■•is arming. We do not want to disturb “the European equilibrium, but we "must be ready. Nobody, therefore, fought to be astonished if I call on ‘the nation for another sacrifice to disable the perfection of all our forces sea, land and air. Even our adversaries have admitted that Fascist Italy s H foreign policy is logical and pacific. »The period of transitory partnerships 1 has ended. We must be most careful : before extending friendship to anyone, - but when there is a pact our people "should know that either friendship or "the reverse, we will go to the end.”
