.SONN|NO DECLINES
PARLIAMENT SEAT
In Letter to Constituents
He Outlines Policy Italy
Must Pursue
by Atsseiasss .rsss

Rome, October 1s.-Baron Sonnino,
former Italian premier, in declining to
be a candidate for parliament at the
coming election, has address to his
constituency. which has returned him
for forty years, letter in which he
says:
ITALY is passing through a most anx-
ious hour being uncertain whether
after her enormous effort for victory
she can satisfy her aspirations, or
whether she must eventually start
again on the hard road for completion
of the national redemption necessary
for her liberty and Independence
He urged policy at a closer union
with the allies through "a frank, loyal
and constant attitude Of willing coop
GRAFTON and solidarity"
Concerning the Adriatic question,
Baron Sonnino insists that the Italian
programme must include, first, Italy's,
safety in the Adriatic, and second, the
'Italianity'' of Fiume, lara and Seb-
enico.
He quotes from President Wilson $
address at Los Angeles to the effect
that France and Great Britain promised
, Shantung to Japan, to induce Japan
to enter the war and it would be in-
possible 10 deny Shantung to Japan
without being ready to go to war with
those powers and adds:
What holds for accords regarding
Shantung must equally hold for pledges
contained in the pact of London regard
ing italy. The unanimity necessary for
the decisions of the peace conference,
If il makes it difficult to obtain total
acceptance OF our claims make it
| equally difficult for the conference to
take decisions damaging to Italy in the
Adriatic. or in other questions"
| Examining the internal situation
Baron Sonnino says that the chief task
| is the economic. social and financial
reconstruction of the country and I'M
| tensifying The work of production.

COMPROMISE To Re
IRISH SETTLEMENT
Leaders Recognize This
Method Preferable to
Constant Fighting
BY X. WALTER

London, October 15.--(Reciprocal News
Service. )-Te result OF the recent bye
election at Rusholme, division of Man
chester, viii undoubtedly prove a victory
for the coalition government owing partly
to a division of the progressive votes be-
tween the two candidates and partly to
the effect of the railroad strike which
put the progressives into quandary. This
victory will strengthen the hands of the
government in dealing with the imme-
diate problem Of an Irish settlement.
Any solution recommended by the caoinet
committee appointed for that purpose can
be hurried through Parliament and its
real value treated by being put into eff
feet at once.
II may be taken as foregone conclu-
sion that no solution adopted on this
plan by the government will please any
mart Of Ireland; the most that can he
hoped is that the displeasure will be
shared with some semblance of equality
by all parties. Irish Americans VIII m
evitably be disappointed if they take their
cue from Sim Fein. If they had main
tanned. an independent attitude toward
the question or concentrated on de-
mand for the maximum concession of in
dependence which any British govern
ment could fairly be expected to make
their influence would have been much
more felt in these days.. Iney could nave
been perhaps the determining factor in
the settlement if they had chosen to es-
pouse dominion rule as suggested to theil
leaders last winter by Sir Horace Plum
kett Dominion rule is being considered
today among other plans, and while there
is reason for believing that this would
satisfy the great majority of Sim Fem,
the intransigeance of their leaders in Ire
land and America has rendered it diff
cult If not impossible for this desirable
compromise to be negotiated.
Opportunities for such negotiations may
still present themselves and will not be
neglected by those woh feel that the only
hope of an Irish peace is an agreed set
| Element rather than the imposed settle
ment which will be the government
only alternative failing negotiation.
| Those in America who regard the Irist
! question mainly as an excuse and goot
I excuse to malign England will deride th'
| idea of Sim Fem accepting any settle
ment short of sovereign independence
which is in the nature of things today il
impossible except by successfully wagini
war against the British government. Blu
