Given these general premises—_first_, that Fascismo does not believe in the principles of the so-called League of Nations nor in its vitality; _secondly_, that Fascismo does not believe in the Red Internationals, which die, reproduce themselves, multiply and die again: for they are small, artificial organisations, small minorities compared to the masses of the population, which, living, dying, progressing or retrogressing, finishes by deciding those changes of interests before which the international organisations of the first, second and third order crumble to pieces; _thirdly_, that Fascismo does not believe in the immediate possibility of general disarmament, and _fourthly_, considers that Italy, in the present historical period, should follow a policy of European equilibrium and conciliation—it follows that the Italian Fascio of Fighters demands:— 1. That the treaties of peace shall be revised and modified in those parts which have proved inapplicable, or which might prove in application the cause of formidable hatred and new wars. 2. The economic annexation of Fiume to Italy, or the care of the Italians resident in Dalmatia. 3. The gradual economic emancipation of Italy from abroad by the development of her productive forces. 4. The renewal of relations with the enemy countries—Austria, Germany, Bulgaria, Turkey and Hungary—but with dignity and holding fast to the supreme necessity of maintaining our northern and eastern boundaries. 5. The creation and intensification of friendly relations with the peoples of the East, not excluding those governed by the Soviet and South-eastern Europe. 6. The vindication of the rights and interests of the nation as regards the colonies. 7. The abandonment of the old systems and the replacement of all our diplomatic representatives with others from the special university faculties. 8. The furtherance of the Italian colonies in the Mediterranean and beyond the Atlantic by economic and educational means and by rapid communications. _Towards a New Italy._ I have enormous faith in the future greatness of the Italian people. Ours is the most numerous and homogeneous of the peoples of Europe. The war has enormously increased the prestige of Italy. “Long live Italy!” is now cried in far-off Lettonia and still more distant Georgia. Italy is the tricolour wing of Ferrarin, the magnetic wave of Marconi, the baton of Toscanini, the revival of Dante, in the sixth centenary of his departure. Let us prepare ourselves by energetic everyday work for the Italy of to-morrow of which we dream; an Italy free and rich, resounding with song, with her skies and seas populated with her fleets, and her earth fruitful beneath her ploughs. And may the coming citizens be able to say what Virgil said of ancient Rome: “Imperium oceano, famam terminavit astris” (The Empire ended with the ocean, but her fame reached the stars.)
