avoided making mention or them. The
only statement that could be cons
trued as affecting the future military
policy of the country was hearty
endorsement of the draft law.

Washington, April 10 - Omitted

Any controversy over whether the

whether motion pictures promoting

declared today.
But a great long distance fight has

Silence Wells Proceedings of

Territorial Claims Leading

By FRED S. FERGUSON.
United Press Staff Correspondent,


Paris, April 19--With the Italian
situation still in a critical stage-so
TAR as available information is con-
cerned-the big four" was expected
TO be confronted with the additional
problem of adjusting Japans terri
torial claims in China.
Premier Orlando was scheduled to
present a demand for immediate ac-
ceptance of the annexationist program
granted Italy under the pact Of Lon
don, at yesterdays session of the big
four" In some quarters 1t was even
believed he would threaten to wreck
the entire peace settlement by refus-
ing to sign the treaty and holding the
other powers to their agreement not
to make a separate peace. unless Italy's
aspirations were recognized. What
transpired in the meeting remained a
mystery, as the entire proceeding was
surrounded with the deepest secrecy.
From certain unofficial sources it was
learned the Italian question was con-
tirued until today. This could not be
confirmed.
The Japanese are seeking, princi-
pally, ratification of their concessions
in the Shan Tung peninsula and re-
tertion of Kiao Shau which they
seized from the Germans. The Chin
ese are bitterly opposed to Japan's
claims and it is understood the ma
jority of the peace delegates are in
clined to favor the Chinese.
