WILSON SENT MESSAGE
 ON ADRlATIC QUESTION

Paris, April 29.-(By The A. P.)- The memorandum delivered to Pre- mier Orlando on April 14 dealing with the Adriatic situation contained the salient points of the text of the state mcnt issued by President Wilson April 23.
 Tn the memorandum the president said he felt bound to square every conclusion reached by him. as accu- rately as possible. with his fourteen points and principles laid down in subsequent addresses, which were formally adopted by the powers aSso- ciated against Germany as basis for peace with Germany. and that he did not feel at liberty to suggest a new basis for peace with Germany and an- other for peace with Austria.
 After pointing out the complete dis solution of the Austro- Hungarian en- pirc had given new aspect to the settlements which must be effected regarding the eastern boundaries o1 1 Italy. the president said he was quite willing that Italy be accorded along the whole of her northern boundary i'll contact with Austrian territory all that was accorded by the pact of Lon- don, but that it was clear that the London pact no longer was applicable
 to a settlement of Italy's eastern i boundaries. l After conceeding that the greater part of Istria and the ports of Tries and Pola should be ceded to Italy. the president said Plume was not Italian i but by all circumstances of it's devel- opment was an international port serving the countries east and nortl
 of the gulf Of Plume. and could no be subordinated to any one sover eighty.

REVIEW OF
 INTERNATIONAL SITUATION
(By The Associated Press.)

With everything virtually in readi- ness or the handing over of the peace treaty to the Germans at Versailles the Italian situation looms large as an lmpedlent in the way unanimous agreement on the part of the entente and associated governments.
 The situation in Italy still remains critical, the people demanding the full fillment of the claims of the Italian del- cgates to Plume and the Dalmatian coast and islands,. So tense is the sit uation that Nittorio Orlando, the Ital- ian premier, at q conference with Thomas Nelson Page. the American anbasSadCr to Italy. left Mr. Page with the understanding that the premier did not intend to return to Paris for the signing of the peace treaty.
 Great demonstrations have been held ill Italy to determine the real lzaton Of ltaly's aspirations. and Premier Orlando gave the ambassa- dor the impression that. owing to the critical situation and the fact that the premier's action either in going to ] Versailles or remaining away from the peace conference would have serious consequences, it would be preferable 10 have the trouble come from without Italy rather than from within the kingdom
 | A ueSpatcn from Paris says that l while the non-return Of Orlando would give the situation a more serious as- pect than did the departure of the Italian delegation fro1i Paris, the allied and associated powers would proceed {; to tn esigning of the treaty, notwith- i standing Italy's non- participation. | The main German aeiegates are now

 REDUCTION IN EARNINGS

New York. April 29-Directors of the United States Steel corpora tion fulfilled popular or at least conserva- tive expectations at their quarterly meeting today by passing the extra l

CLAIMS COLOR PREJUDICE
 WILL WEAKEN LEAGUE

London, April 29.-The Manchester Guardian while considering the Ja- panese amendment to the covenant of the league Of nations. regrets that nothing has been done toward satis- flying the deep emotion it expressed,' D and considers that so long as color prejudice endures any league of na- tions will be an imperfect instru- ment.
 The Guardian says that statesmen cannot march far ahead of their peo- pies in matters of this kind. although they should discourage. rather than encourage, prejudice and hopes that so far as the color bar is founded on ignorance. lack of sympathy and mis- understanding. the cooperation of the league of nations will tend to dispe1 it.
 The Guardian thinks that the public discussion Japan has forced is staua- bic, adding ''it helps to remind us that this color question is one of the fun damental issues of civilization ant that humanity must solve it by some thing more equitable and durable thar l by discrimanatory legislation.

Paris, April 20 (Ev the A. Po.-Am- bassador Page telegraDhed from Rome today that he had gathered from Pre- mier Orlando in long conference Monday that the premier did not in tend to return to Paris for the signing or the peace treaty. The premier ex- l pres sed regret that tlie time was so short before the arrival of the Ger mans.
 This was only ono of the disturbing complications presented by the Italian 1 situation as the time approaches for the delivery of the peace treaty to the Germans.
 The Italian premier, the telegram from Ambassador Page added. felt that his action either way would have se- rious difficulties. but would prefer to have trouble from without Italy than from within Italy. because the present state of public feeling in Italy would not justify the signing of treaty which did not include Italian aspira- tions.
 Ambassador Page said he had taken steps to have the Italian authorities suppress manifestations directed against President Wilson. As a result one Of the principal demonstrations in Rome was given up
 Should Premier Orlando not return TOT lle SlgullE or the treaty, It would give the situation q more serious as- pect than the departure of the Italian delegation. ss the allies would be re- quirel to take final action without the icipa ton of Italy. While there is every desire to avoid this result. indi- cations are that the allies will proceed with the signing if Italy decides to withhold participation.
 The final draft Of the treaty is vir- tualiy completed. The men in charge of the work say they have no further dCubt that they will be able to finish their work by Thursday or by sucl time as delivery is made. The latest court shows total of S6,000 words ir the treaty.
 Al official summary of 10000 words has been made. IL is in such shape that it could be made public at once but the intention is to hold it for pub lication throughout the world at about the same time that the treaty is deliv- cred to the Germans. The various governments arc cabling this summary everywhere for simul:a ncous releasC when authorization is given by the conference.
