SHOWDOWN IN "a HOURS
Either Pact of London or Will
son "POintS" Must Rule.
Modern Diplomacy Is Pitted
Against Age-OId Statecraft.
1919 VS.. MIDDLE AGES

Washington. April 24.-Decision
on whether the pact of London or
the presidents armistice proposal
shall prevail at the peace confer
ence is expected within twenty
four hours.
If the pact of London-a secret
agreement e W n England,
France and Italy, whereby 1taly's
objectives were promised by the
other allies-wins out, President
Wilson probably will leave the
conference.
If the armistice agreement
signed by all the powers prevails,
Italy must yield on her demands
for Fiume, quit the conference or
send new delegates.
The situation is regarded here
as a definite and final showdown
between 1919 model diplomacy and
the age-old statecraft involving Sc
cret treaties. President Wilson, it is
stated here, has the support of Lloyd
George and Premier Clemenceau in
refusing F'iume to Italy.
