PARIS, April 2i.-President Wilson'S
statement reaffirming his determination
to continue his opposition to ltaly's
contention for Fiume, issued here late
yesterday, reads:
I'm view Of tho capital Importance OF
tho questions affected, and In order to
throw all possible light upon what is
Involved In their settlement, | hope that
the following statement will contribute
to the final formation Of opinion and to
q satisfactory solution:
when Italy entered the war she en-
tered upon the basis of a definite pri-
vate understanding with Great Britain
and France, now known as the pact Of
London.
Since that time the whole face OF
circumstance he's been altered. Many
other powers. great and small, have en-
tered tho struggle, with no knowledge
Of that private understanding.
THE Austro-H Hungarian empire, then
the enemy OF Italy, and at whose ex-
pense the pact OF London was to be
kept in the event OF victory, has gone
TO pieces and no longer exists,
mot only that but the several parts
OF that empire, II is agreed now by
Italy and all her associates, are to be
erected into Independent states and as
ISOLATED In a league Of nations. not with
those who were recently our enemies,

WILSON'S ACTION
CALLED VER|TABLE
PEACE BOMBSHELL
Some London Papers Halted
From Comment by Aston
lshment at Gravity Over
Situation,

LONDON. April 2A.--"A thunder
bolt" "A bombshell," IAN appeal to
Caesar" and other descriptive express
sions are used by this mornings news
papers in connection with President
Wilson'S declaration on the Italian sit
uation. The presidents step is treated
as Q dramatic development at the peace
conference by, most of the journals. APP
parently halted temporarily by aston
ishment, some newspapers refrain from
comment. D.
Everywhere Mr.. Wilson'S action Is re-
garded as having created a most seri-
Gus situation, the unfolding Of which
will be watched with anxious interest.
Such editorials as appear were mani
festiy written with Hn eye to ltaly's
possible withdrawal from the confer
ence, though Premier Orlando's an
nouncement Of his decision to quit Paris
had not reached London when the pa
perS were published.
Opinions as to Mr.. Wilson's state
ment and ltaly's attitude vary. The
Graphic, while disclaiming hostility to
Italy, refers to her 'obdurate attitude"
and advocates the Croatian claims to
Fiume. 1t heads its news columns with
the caption, Italy Jeopardizing Peace"
The Chronicle places over the news
from the peace conference the head,
wilson's Stirring Appeal for Small
Nations" but is editorially perturbed.
without opposing President Wilson, 1t
calls his action "a strong step" n "a
momentous innovation" The editorial
takes a sympathetic attitude toward
Italy's position, although 1t is admit
ted the issue Is one upon which opin-
ions can be honestly held
NJ Wilson'S appeal from the diplo-
matte table to the general public may
at first sight commend itself as o
sonant with democratic statesma nship,'
the editorial reads. The result in
making an exception in Italy's case to
past secrecy is to create a danger for
the whole league Of nations" which the
newspaper adds, may II the Italians
withdraw, find its existence virtually
terminated before It is begun"
The Daily News under the heading,
the breaking point" calls attention to
the grave crisis"
A conviction hat President Wilson
would never have taken such a step
except as a last resource after the fail
ure Of all private negotiations IN voiced
by the Express. 1T would be able to
speculate on what will follow the
newspaper says. The two antagonistic
principles which have been more or less
in yelled conflict throughout the de-
alterations OF the conference are now
met in a death grapple. One or the
other must yield and the defeat OF
either will In all probability be final
II Mr., Wilson'S principles prevail, all
claims such as those Italy is now ad-
vancing must be abandoned permanent
~. II, one the other hand, Premier
0rlando's claims are recognized then
there Is an end to the principle Of self
determination everywhere"
The Express declares the situation Is
very serious, but maintains that In
questions which threaten the confer
tnce with disaster, the press and pub
lie have no power to give any sort of
bindiy and unitedly support Premier
lloyd-George as the nations represent
alive.

gress will do what we want or hear
from us. Someone has said that we

We would have the worst panic this

sion of electric lines and motor truck
routes and the development Of inland

upon scientific principles. At present,
he said. a large part Of the export
freight (which should be shipped from
gulf Of Mexico ports was passing
through North Atlantic cities.
