CHAMBER SHOWS
ITS CONFIDENCE
italian Deputies Sustain Premier
and Cabinet by Vote of
1872 to 40.
ORLANDO URGES CALM
Government Leader Says Italy Be-
lieves That Her Claims Are
Founded on High Reasons
of Justice and Right.

Rome, April 30-The chamber
of deputies voted confidence in
the cabinet by count of 1872 to
40, the latter votes being cast by
Socialists.
"NoW the Italian delegation can
return to Paris with increased au-
thority to continue peace negotia-
tons,' is the dominant note in
press comment of the parliament
airy vote of confidence given the
cabinet.
Rome, April 30.-Signor Orlando, the
Italian premier, admitting that the
world situation at present is grave and
for Italy very grave" and that it was
the dtty of Italy to preserve the
greatest calm and serenity" delivered
his expected address to the chamber
Of deputies concerning the Paris peace
conference.
Premier Orlando said that Italy be-
Iieved that her claims were founded
On such high reasons of justice and
right that any international treaty or
agreement should be set aside so that
hey might be accepted
The principal duty in this grave
hour for the world and for Italy very
grave" said Signor Orlando, lis to
preserve the greatest calm and seren-
ity.
This statement aims to be only an
impartial declaration of facts so that
Parliament may have all the elements
necessary to pass judgment on the
work of the government and of the
Italian delegation at the Peace confer
ence as we'll as on the situation Gre
ated by the last painful events.
Resume of Italian Attitude.
Il think it opportune to recall brief
y the attitude of the Italian dele
cation in that phase of the negotia-
tons which began about the middle
of March. At that time the prepare
tory work was finished and a program
for definite deliberation had to be de-
cided upon. Questions concerning
peace with Germany were given prece-
dence, but it was agreed that those
regarding Italy should follow imme-
diately.
There were certainly Emergencies
Of views between the two governments
Qtaly and the United States), but
never did l believe that such differ
ences were irreconcilable. Indeed,
until April IA, when the American
memorandum was delivered to us, l
had always been assured that the
American delegation had not reached
any definite conclusions regarding us.
Several times stated with firmness
consistent with courtesy that the pro-
gram of the Italian territorial claims
was based on essential cardinal points
Of acceptance. which was an absolute
condition for the Italian government"

BARNES FORCES
DROP in PRICES
Grain Corporation President At
tacks. Quotations on Chicago
Board of Trade.
ISSUES AN ULTIMATUM
Corn Declines 11R Cents, Pork Drops
$3.50 Barrel and Bacon Falls 81
Per One Hundred Pounds in
Sensational Manner.

Chicago, April 30.-An assault on
high prices, which was promptly re-
fiected on the Board of Trade in a
maximum decline of 111a cents in the
price of corn, was made by Julius H.
Barnes, president of the Grain cor
poration of the American Food admin
istration.
Of possibly more interest to the
housewife was the slump in the pro-
visions market Pork dropped an ex-
IRENE of $3.50 a barrel, while short
rib sides, known to the breakfast
table as bacon, declined a maximum
of $1.O0 a hundredweight.
Mr. Barnes assault came in the
form of a bulletin of announcement
to the trade.
1t abounded in technicalities, but it's
purport was plain: that the specula-
tive tendency in white flour must stop.
Threatens to Sell Flour.
AS an earnest of his intentions,
the president of the Grain cor
poration announced that the cor
poration would cease buying flour for
export Except first clears and victory
mixed f1ours) and also that it would
resell at such important centers as
New York, Baltimore and Philadelphia
flour previously bought for export, the
reselling being amply safeguarded in
the interest of actual bakers and other
legitimate purchasers.
He named the price as "$11.50 jute
per barrel" The technical portions
of the bulletin dealt with instructions
to millers and grain men generally,
but the explanation of his action was
plain to all.
THE purpose of this said the bull
letin, lis to stop the speculative fever
in flour before it becomes necessary
to take off all import restrictions on
foreign wheat and -four, for there is
plenty of American wheat and -four
if this speculative tendency is
checked"
Canadian Granaries Filed.
Mr.. Barnes threat, the trade rea-
lized instantly, had back of it the fact
that Canadian granaries and elevators
are fairly bursting with wheat at the
doors of the United States, not to men
ton the vast stores in Australia and
Argentina.
1t is explained that the Canadian
supply has been comparatively little
impaired by export sales for the rea-
son, it is said, that Canada is not at
present in position to extend the same
credit to Europe that the United
States is. Also it has been kept out
of the United States by the restric-
tions of the United States, which is
not unmindful of the record breaking
domestic crop in prospect.
The government long ago, as a war
measure, eliminated wheat from the
speculative arena, but the fortunes of
wheat are proportionately the for
tunes of corn, oats and provisions also,
and these staples showed the effect of
the pronunciamento.
