ITALIAN PEACE
By JOHN H. HEARLKY
(Special to Gateway by Cnited Press)
, ROME, August 14.—Only an Allied
peace can satisfy Italy. The war will
continue until only an Allied peace
can be obtained. This is today’s senti
ment in Italian diplomatic circles. It
is repeated by King Victor in the
•held. It is endorsed by the people of
the Kingdom.
In Austria, Italy lights a hated and
an hereditary foe. In Germany she
opposes an “industrial and commerci
al menace.” The Italians are natur
ally liberty-loving. This characteris
tic began their war and will continue
it, they declare.
To Italy anything, even the greatest
bloodshed and the greatest sacrifice, is
preferable to a German domination.
“Austrians!” she hisses at the
House’s socialistic deputies who cry
for a change in government. She
frowns on ex-lVemier Giolitti’s alleg
ed attempts to return to power.
Giolitti has been called Italy’s peace*
at-any price. War certainly has
sobered, and hardened the people. It
has made sturdy, stubborn patriots of
all classes, especially of the women
and children.
Generally Italy wars to save her
allies and herself from “oppre>sion.”
An unselfish allied patriotism seems
to have been born of the travail of
strife. Particularly she fights to win
her own “geographical and marine
liberty.” As a condition of the allied
peace she will press the “correction”
of her nothern border. She will seek,
as she always has sought, the return
of her “unredeemed lands.” Trent
and Trieste. The natural fortifica
tions of the Alps, which are now en
tirely in Austrian territory, must be
divided. Italy must have something
besides frontier plains and valleys to
insure her a peaceful and prosperous
life. The almost insurmountable dif
ficulties of her mountain warfare, she
asserts, have proven this to her be
yond the shadow of a doubt. The
“threat” of an armed Austria, looking
down upon her. must be forever re
moved.
In the Italian opinion the Austrian
control of the Adriatic also should
come to an end. Owing to the un
evenness of the balance, Italy declares
that her Adriatic commerce has
.amounted to a practical nothing. On
\he other hand, Austriu, it is asserted,
has thrived on her unjust control and
prevented fair competition.
Under the spur of such possessions
Italy dreams that much of the power
of old Rome would return to her.
Something of the spirit of that an
cient mistress of the world has lately
been born again in her. It is show
ing itself in, a thousand and one plans,
suddenly formulated and aimed at the
acquisition of industrial, commercial
and artistic greatness.
The presence of the Pope in Rome
apparently has done little to compli
cate the Italian situation. Benedict
has made at least one direct plea ami
•not a few indirect pleas for general
peace. His efforts have been diplo
matically resisted by all the allies, in
cluding Italy. The peaceward in
quiries of the Holy Father, it is said,
always meet with a unanimous allied
response. “We are ready for peace,
but only for an allied peace.” the
allies invariably are reported to reply.
The Italian pa pet's generally give hut
Jittle it' any space to the Pope’s peace
ward utterances. Consequently they
do not come into the constant thought
of the people. The possibility id any
marked effect is therefore eliminated.
