_Italo-Yugoslav Commission._ With a view to ensure an atmosphere of
greater quiet to the Italo-Yugoslav Commission, the Government of
Belgrade has, in the meantime, agreed to transfer the seat of the
Commission to Rome. The Yugoslav Delegation has arrived, and between it
and the Italian Delegation, which is fulfilling its duty with a high
sense of patriotism and political probity, preliminary meetings are
taking place with the object of fixing certain fundamental points before
resuming official discussions, so that the latter may proceed with the
necessary speed without lapsing into a deplorable stagnation, which
would be otherwise inevitable in such an arduous task.
_The Conference of Lausanne and the definite Cession of Castelrosso to
Italy._ The Conference of Lausanne, which after the well-known
suspension of last February resumed its proceedings on 23rd April, is
slowly completing them through the no small difficulties of various
kinds caused by the delicacy and complexity of the questions under
examination. The course followed by the Italian Delegation under any
circumstance has always been inspired by the most calm and impartial
attitude, and its efficacy has been recognised and generally appreciated
at its just worth.
Italy cannot help considering as her vital interests the speedy
restoration of a normal state of trade in the East, as well as the
economic development and general progress of all the peoples living on
the shore of the Eastern Mediterranean.
Although all the questions under discussion have not yet been solved at
Lausanne, on some of them, however, which more directly affect our
country, an agreement, satisfactory on the whole, has been reached. The
Government of Angora has explicitly withdrawn the objection regarding
the cession of the island of Castelrosso to Italy, the possession of
which on our part could in no way justify an eventual suspicion of
Italian aggressive aims with regard to Turkey. Our flag, which has
already been saluted from the moment it appeared in the island as a
symbol of peaceful well-being, will in the future continue to protect a
population which by plebiscite has entrusted itself to us.
_The Juridical Protection of Foreigners in Turkey._ The Italian
Government has also obtained the cancellation of those clauses, with
regard to our colonies in North Africa, which the agreements concluded
after the Libyan War had left in existence, and at the same time the
interests of Libyan subjects residing in Turkey, whose rights have been
equal to those of Italian citizens, were opportunely protected.
