2. The dissolution of the Deutscher Verband.
3. The immediate dismissal of the two Italian governors.
4. The formation of a united province of Trento with the administration at Trento, and the strictest observance of the use of the two languages in every act of public administration.
I do not know what measures will be adopted by the Government in these cases, but I hereby declare, and I do so before the four German deputies that they may repeat it and make it known beyond the Brenner, that there we are and there we mean to stay at all costs. (Applause.)
Giolitti (Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior). Upon this we are all agreed. (Applause.)
Mussolini. I note with pleasure the explicit declaration the Prime Minister has just made.
THE QUESTION OF MONTENEGRO’S INDEPENDENCE
Same speech delivered in the Chamber, 21st June 1921.
Hon. Mussolini. What is going to be our line of policy in view of the vast field for disagreement which has been left by the peace treaty, or rather peace treaties, all over the world?
I shall not touch upon the quarrel between Greece and Turkey, although inconceivable complications may result if it is true, as is said, that Lenin is an ally of Kemal Pasha and has already despatched the advance guard of the Red army to Asia Minor. Neither shall I speak of Upper Silesia, as I have not yet succeeded in defining the attitude of the Government on this question. Egypt, again, I shall leave untouched. But I cannot hold my peace about the fate prepared for Montenegro.
