All free men and strong, that in this grave hour high feel the duty to cooperate in the higher country, without prejudice or bias, we appeal to you to advocate in their entirety together with the ideals of justice and freedom. And while representatives of the winning Nations meet to prepare the foundations for a just and lasting peace, the political parties of every country must contribute to strengthen those trends and principles which will apply to avert any danger of further wars, to establish a stable Nations, to implement the ideals of social justice and improve the general conditions of employment, to develop the spiritual and material enrgie of all countries united in the bond of the solemn "League of Nations."
And as it is not right to compromise the advantages of the victory won with huge sacrifices made to defend the rights of peoples and to the highest ideals of civil, so it is imperative duty to healthy democracies and governments folk find the real balance of rights with the supreme national interest and international reasons for the perennial peaceful progress of society.
Therefore we support the political agenda and moral heritage of Christian nations, remembered the first word from narrow and now championed by Wilson as a key element of the future world order, and reject the imperialist rulers and the people who create violent mature roused therefore ask that the League of Nations recognizes the right national aspirations, to hasten the advent of universal disarmament, of abolishing the secret treaties, to implement the freedom of the seas, the advocate international relations, social legislation, the equality of labor, religious freedom against the oppression of the sect, has the strength of the penalty and the means to protect the rights of the peoples of the weak against the strong trend to overwhelm us.
the better future of our Italy - secure within its borders and seas that surround it - that by virtue of its children, the sacrifices of the war has accomplished by winning its unity and national consciousness rinsaldta, we dedicate all our activities with enthusiasm and fervor with firmness of purpose lit.
For a centralized state tends to limit and regulate all power and all organic civic and individual activities, we want to replace a constitutional on the ground was very popular, which recognizes the limits of its activities, which respects the nuclei and natural organisms - the family, classes, municipalities - which respects the individual personality and encourage private initiatives. And because the state is the most sincere expression of popular will, ask the Parliamentary Reform Institute on the basis of proportional representation, not excluding the votes of women, and the Senate elected, as a direct representation of national, academic, administrative and union: we want the reform of the judiciary and the bureaucracy and the simplification legislation, we call upon the legal recognition of classes, municipal autonomy, the reform of the Provincial Government and the largest shift in the regional units.
But these would be useless without the content of reforms if not claimed, as the soul of the new company, the true meaning of freedom, corresponding to the maturity calendar of our people and the highest development of his energies: religious freedom, not only to individuals but also to the Church, for the explanation of his spiritual mission in the world, freedom of teaching, without monopolies, freedom to class organizations, part no preferences and privileges, according to local and municipal freedom glorious Italian traditions.
This ideal of freedom does not tend to disrupt the state but is essentially organic in the renewal of energies and activities, which must be centered on the coordination, promotion, advocacy and progressive development. Energy, which must be composed ring life that can stop or change the current disintegration, unrest brought on behalf of a systematic class struggle and anarchist revolution and tap into the soul of popular items for the conservation and progress, giving value to the authority as a force and exponent set of popular sovereignty and social collaboration.
rifrome The necessary and urgent in the field of social security and welfare, in employment law, training and protection of small property must aim at the elevation of the working classes, while the increase of economic forces the country, increasing production, firm and equitable settlement of customs procedures, tax reform, the development of the merchant marine, the solution of the problem in the South, the internal colonization of large estates, re-education and the fight against illiteracy to be worth to overcome the crisis and post-war hoarded the fruits of victory legitimate and desired.
Us political life in our flag moral and social, inspiring them to balance the principles of Christianity and consecrated the great civilizing mission of Italy; mission that even today, in the new order of nations, must attempts to shine in front of new imperialism in the face of upheavals anarchists of great empires have fallen in the face of socialist democracies that seek the materialization of any identity in the face of sectarian old liberalism, which in the strength of the organism resistant to the new centralized state current mailing.
All free men morally and socially advanced, to those who love the country know the right way to join the national rights of the interests and with a healthy internationalism, and respect for those who appreciate the virtues moral of our people, on behalf of the Italian Popular Party we appeal and ask the membership to our program.
