Paris, Thursday, April 24.-In the
statement given out today by Pre-
mier Orlando in reply to President
Wilson's appeal on the Adriatic
question, stress was laid by the
Italian prime minister upon the
question of the propriety of any at
tempt from the outside to set up up-
position between the Italian people
and their government AS revealed
by the full text of the premier's s
statement now available. after ar
guing that such an attempt would
virtually mean the ignoring and de-
nying of the high degree of civfliza-
ton which the Italian people had
attained under democratic govern
ment, the premier added:
ITO oppose, so to speak, the Ital-
ian government and people, would
be to admit that this great, free ma
tion should submit to the yoke or a
will other than its own, and | shall
be forced TO protest vigorously
against such suppositions, unjustly
offensive to my country.
All Subject TO Error.
In a subsequent part of his state
ment, Premier Orlando in referring
TO the conferences that have been
held in an effort to solve the terri
torial problems effecting Italy. dur
ing which. the premier said, Presi-
dent Wilson had had the kindness
to recognize truth and justice are
the monopoly of no one person and
that all men are subject to error,
Premier Orlando continued.
And | add that the error is all
the easier as-the problems to which
the principles apply, are the more
complex. Humanity is such an i'm
mense thing. the problems raised by
the life of the people are so infinite

London Papers Support Both VII.
son and Italian Views, But
Opinions Are Cautious.

London, April 25.-The peace
conference crisis continues to be
the paramount topic of comment in
London's morning newspapers. The
support they give to President Will
sons and ItaIy's views. respective
ly, are about evenly divided, and
but with two or three exceptions,
opinions are expressed cautiously
and with manifest desire to show
friendliness for both President Will
son and Italy and avoid saying any
thing likely to hinder the speedy
restoration of harmony.
Four newspapers emphatically
champion President Wilson's view
point. although. with one exception,
add moderate moderations. Two
others, with equal moderation, sym
pathize with Italy's claims, but
chiefly plead the necessity for COM
posing the divergent views lest the
consequences be disastrous for the
conference. Two others vehement
Iy attack the president. One Of
these, the Post, refers to Mr.. Will
sons wild west diplomacy and
says:
'Mr. wilson's name among the
allies is like that Of the rich uncle,
and they have accepted his man
ners out of respect for his means"
The Express accuses the presi-
dent of 'plunging the conference
into a profoundly STUPID tragedy
by rushing into the arena waving
the red flag" and describes. his
action as open diplomacy gone
mad" II adds: Premier Orlando
