OVER
F|UME BRIGHTER
Tittoni's Proposal Not Entirely
Rejected
NEGOTIATIONS TO CONTINUE
A Considerable Portion OF The Pro.
posaIs Was Favorably Received e
The Tribunal Saw No Amer
lean Armies In Battle.

Decentralization has been given
the Peace Conference by represen
tative Of Italy here that the proposal
made by Foreign Minister Tittoni for
the settlement of the Fiume problem
had not been accepted by the United
States.
1t is declared by authoritative Italian
quarters, however, that although the
reply of Secretary Of State Lansing
was unfavorable as a whole, consid.
cradle portion of the Tirtoni proposal
was accepted, and that the exchanges
with the United States on the subject
will be continued.
AS soon as the extreme concessions
the United States is willing to make
are known to the representatives OF
Italy here the Italian Government will,
be put in possession of all the ele
ments of the problem as they have
been developed by the delegation in
Paris, and Italy's position will be de
finitely made known.
Rome.-The Tribuna makes another
attack on President Wilson and the
American Government in connection
with an article on Italian claims.
Complaint is made by the newspaper
that the United States lavishly poured
men, arms and money into Europe,
but that Italy got none of these.
Italy" the Tribuna says, saw no
American armies on her battlefields
and saw no golden rivers, except
crumbs from what was given to other
countries, brought by the Red Cross.
There were no other signs OF the
'Star-Spangled Banner"
"After fighting alone" the newspa-
per adds, Italy conquered her tradi-
tional enemy. One man then arose to
deny her the fruits of victory%a man
who had nothing to do with Italy dur
ing the period Of neutrality or war;
nothing to do with the agreements con.
cluded with the Allies; nothing to do
with the sorrows and ideals which led
Italy to war;
rs it possible" asks the Tribuna,
''to allow this man to weigh on
Italy's future, causing internal and In
ternational discord?"
The article concludes with an ap-
peal to "the moral conscience of the
civilized world, and above all, to the
moral conscience Of the people"

secret of their wish to see the Who'll
thing beaten, league, treaty and all.
Upon the Democratic side, there is nc
encouragement. The Democrats feel
that the Republicans win nerd theil
ways when they have heard from the
country, " Fran nj political viewpoint,
the Democrats are inclined TO be happy
because they think the Republicans
have presented them with an issue, for
| 1920 and have made It possible Ia
charge the Republicans with having
wasted six months-the entire time OF
the extra session OF cOngress-without
doing anything, least OF all acting on
the vital question of peace or war.
But disinterested observers are in
clined to think that both parties will
reserve a large Measure of b'ame from
the country and that the rules of the
senate will come in for particular CON
~demnation. Vice.President Marshall
stated the situation suceinctly in tho
closing hours of the session when he
spoke to the senate as follows:
81 suppose the chair might as well
state now al at any time that this
parliamentary situation arises from the
part OF the rule of the senate touching
treaties which suffers and permits an
questions except the final vote, to be
decided by a majority vote in deroga-
tton II not in violation of the constitu-
ton Of the United States, It would
not have been here Ohe parliamentary
~situation) II We had adopted all that
was agreed to by a tWo-thirds vote.
Then We would have, known where we
were"
Under the constitution of the United
States, a treaty can be negotiated by
the president. but a two-thirds vote Of
the senate was deemed necessary by
our forefathers in order to ratify a
treaty, Logically any change in a
treaty ought to require a t%wo-thirds
vote to make il the will of the senate
but the senate Republicans who possess
a majority of we votes have been able
to put into the treaty by a simple ma
jority vote anything they pleased so
that when the final vote II two-thirds
Is taken the original treaty can be dis
placed by another treaty containing a
number of things that are distasteful
to tWo-thirds of the senate. but which
they must accept in entirety unless
they want to reject the whole thing.
The reservation in The Lodge resoIu
ton We're construed BY The president
and the treaty-negotiatiug branch of
the government as nullifying the con-
tract entered iptoyat Paris and as IN
acceptable to foreign government. whose
consent has to be obtained to changes
in that contract.
So the Lodge resolution failed. A
compromise was and is still possible.
The only change in the situation is
that the Republican majority have re
