In his brief address at Vinc^naat. during which he ascribed proposed partition of 1 zechoslovakla as "correcting erors" in the 1919 treaty of Versailles, Mussolini thundered:
"Italy so far has not adopted any measures of a military character, but. if others continue to recall their reservists (as France ls doing) and rush them to the frontiers If there already are fleet concentrations. then the situation ls clear— and none of you will be surprised if Italy adopts similar measures.” ITALY IS READY
"Italy is ready for all developments,” II Duce shouted, adding, cryptically, that war probably would not be declared over Czechoslovakia, "which Is one of the most paradoxical errors ln mankind's history.”
Referring to the action of the world war allies In originally pushing Czechoslovakia's frontier to the Sudeten mountains, and thus bringing the Germanic Sudetens under Czech rule, Mussolini, said that lt was a mistake to "inflate Czechoslovakia to a point of exaggeration.”
"When an error ls committed," he said, "there Is only one thing to do and that is to make a correction."
