Of the ultra-interventionist press and of the groups who are responsible for Italy's Intervention on the side of the Italian. Huron Sonnino's return from the last allied conference at the Italian-French border was the signal for violent attacks by the leading organs of public opinion. His reluctance to acquaint even his colleagues of the Cabinet with the various phases of his diplomatic action is now denounced as a national calamity. That is to a strict censorship, the press has not yet been permitted to throw some light on Baron Honnino's diplomatic activity in the eve of Italy's Intervention in the conflict. Now and then, in the speeches of prominent parliamentarians and in the carefully worded phrases of press articles, there have been clear hints that it was a gross mistake on the part of the Salandra Cabinet, then in power, and of which Baron Honnino was the leading member, not to secure from the allies the economic and financial support a nation as poor as Italy is would have needed in the course of a long and expensive war. How and why, what price for Italy's dignity some scant support was afterwards secured in another and no less interesting story in which Baron Sonnino still plays a leading part.
