Addresses

Count Antonio Cippico, Italian Senator and delegate to the League of Nations, stepped ashore at Manhattan and rolled off on his sea legs to Williamstown, Mass, where, when his legs get accustomed to dry land, he will fire volleys of salutes at Benito Mussolini, Premier of Italy.

The real subject of his address will be: Italy and the Mediterranean Area. ''My first lecture," he said, "will deal with the history of the Mediterranean until Columbus discovered America and the Mediterranean lost much of its importance. The second will deal with the big struggle for hegemony in the Mediterranean, first with Spain and France and then with England.

"The third will deal with the central problem of both Europe and the Mediterranean--which is Italy, with her growing population, the lack of raw materials and her want of colonies. The fourth will discuss the imperial problems of both France and Great Britain in the Mediterranean.

"The fifth lecture will deal with the historical background of Fascism and the rise of the Fascist movement, while the sixth lecture will be about the pres-ent National Government of Italy in action.

"Italy's importance in the Mediterranean has not yet been generally understood by the outside world, and I hope to tell America, through the Institute of Politics, what the new Italy actually means and stands for. The population of Italy is growing at the rate of 500,000 a year.

"We had hoped that the Great War--the war for democracy and justice-- would have solved this crucial problem, but all the colonies were divided among Great Britain, France and Belgium. Therefore, the problem of population remains the outstanding one for the future of Italy. Nations which cherish peace should try to find a just solution of this great and vital problem."
