The peace treaty with Austria-Hun-
gary is delayed by the controversy
over the disposition of the port of FL
ume, near the head of the Adriatic.
When the war broke out in 1914 the
entente allies and Germany wooed
Italy intensively to induce her to join
their respective sides. The obliga-
tions of the triple, alliance had not
been made public, but it was under
stood that Italy was pound to lend
her aid to Austria ana Germany in
case of a war in which they were on
the defensive. Italy positively in
sited that this was not such war, and
so maintained her neutrality for a
time. Then she was induced by prom
Uses of the entente allies, Great Brit
lain, France and Russia, to declare
Ewar on Austria and subsequently,
against Germany.
Her course was criticized as one
wholly influenced by greed Of terri
tory. The treaty by whcih she be-
came an ally of France and Great
Britain was secret, bu: enough was
known to enable Italy's critics to
avert that it was the consummation
of a successful bid. ltaly'c defenders
Imet these attacks by showing that she
was entitled under the treaty to be
fconBulted before Austria attacked Ser
bia and by revealing the bad faith OF
Germany and Austria in ltaly's war
with Turkey, and their secret aid to
the sultan. This aroused sympathy
with Italy, and it was assumed that

restoration of Italy's territory every,

Dalmatian coast were also included

College in Rome. Both these boys,

into the Italian army. This man had
saved 100000 Ira and invested it in

CarranZa Smarts
Under Discipline

WASHINGTON, April 26,-The
declaration by the Mexican Foreign
Office that Mexico has not recognized
and will not recognize the Monroe
Doctrine "nor any other that attacks
the sovereignty and independce of
Mexico" did not surprise Washing
ton.
Press reports from Mexico City
heralding this declaration were con-
firmed yesterday in official dispatches
to the State Department. Confrma-
ton also was received Of the report
that the Mexican government has or
dered Senior Pani, appointed Minister
to France some months ago but not
received as such at Paris, to Spain
with the personnel of his mission.
The State Department is not ad-
vised as to what governments
friendly to Mexico" requested the
opinion on the Monroe Doctrine when
it was under consideration by the
peace conference in Paris.
The United States has not asked
Mexico to recognize the doctrine,
which is an American institution, de-
signed to protect the territorial in
tegrity of countries on this side of the
Atlantic.
When Venezuela was in trouble
with European governments over the
payment of certain financial obliga-
tions that government appealed to
the United States for assistance un-
der the Monroe Doctrine, and got il
quickly.
The Mexican governments declara.
ton that the Monroe Doctrine in any
sense attacks the sovereignty of Mex
leo or any other Latin-Amcrican
country of course is not taken seri
ously in Washington.
It is known that President Car
rama and his associates bitterly re.
sent the failure of France to receive
Senior PAM as Mexican minister. Pan
sailed for France Knowing that th'
Paris government had not arranged tC
receive him. He has been cooling hi
heels in the French capital ever since
and getting nowhere.
The impression in vel informed
circles here is that President Car
rama has been seeking for some tim
an excuse to recall PAM and foun
one in the action of the peace con
ference in writing into the coVenan
of the league of nations specific rec
ognition of the validity of the Mon

TAKES PARTING
SHOT At WALKER HINES

Washington. May 25,--A parting
shot at Walker u. Hines director gen
erai OF railroads was taken today by
George y. Peek, chairman of the de-
funct industrial board OF the depart
meni of commerce, which wen out
of existence when Mr.. Hines refused
to accept it's steel prices and ask ed
for bids in he open market.
Mr., Peek's statement is a reply to
Mr.. Hines assertion that the steel in
terests when he sought prices direct
from them. hid on exactly the same
basis as recommended by the indus
trial board. thereby demonstrating,
he says. the efficiency Of that body
as a price-ixing board maintaining an
entente cordial with the steel in
~terests. Mri' Peek takes the part of
the steel interests in his reply.
He says:
The statement of the director gen
eral of railroads is perhaps mislead-
ing in that he uses as a basis for his
deductions the profit showing of the
past three years when steel mills
were crowded to capacity on account
Of war demands and during a con-
siderable part OF which period prices
were fixed by the government with the
idea that production must be stimu-

prices for the nre~war period on rails,
for example, n admit that TO the

there must he added approximately
$50 per ton on account of the increase
in direct labor cost alone. exclusive OF
the increase in cost of labor in trans
portatlonT And further. why does he
ignore the fact that since the sign
irg of the armistice steel prices gem
orally have been reduced between IL
and 25 per cent?
The statement is further miSreud-
ing in hat Mr.. Hines ncElects to in
form the public that the price at

chase rails $47 per ton tthe figure APP
