Near East and the Far East, besides
attending to routine matters put up to
him by his secretaries.

ton, then listened twenty minutes to
the French National Congress on the
question of the Rhine as a frontier.
Fifteen minutes went to the Assyrian-
Chaldean national delegation, the same

scnted the results Of plebiscte in
the Dalmatian territory occupied by

The Italian proletariat has shown it's
strength at Milan, but not without the
usual clash with the authorities. Some
Italian leaders declare there are only

country, while others say the country
is on the verge of revolution.
Extremists Held in Check
To date the moderate labor leaders
and the Socialists have been able to
hold the extremists in check. They are
trying to obtain their demands by
peaceful, constituticnal methods. but
the situation is fraught with posi-
bilities of serious disturbances.
The Italians are intensely interested
in the peace conference, where Pre-
mier Orlando pleads their cause,
while Baron Sonnino, part Jew and
part Scotch, silently but none the less
successfully. presses their demands
The majority of the Italians are
rcalists and nationalists. who applaud
Orlando's phrases about the league of
nations, but never for moment lose

The Socialist leaders recently threat

against the employment of Italian
troops in Russia. The executives of
the Italian Socialist party, at a meet

PARIS, April 17-Thcre is an essen
tial difference between the British Com
moners, who forced Premier Lloyd
George to give no three days of work
at the peace conference, and the French
Socialists, who attempted to force Pre-
mler Clemenceau TO speak. Demon
stratng this, Ga Victoire' remarks:
"The members of the British Parlia
ment wanted to remind their Premier T
that they didn't intend that England
and the Allies should be deprived of
the legitimate fruits OF victory by too
soft peace. On the contrary, in
France our Renaudels wanted TO give
the Tiger lesson in order TO prevent
him from being too hard on Germany"
The official Socialist organ, "LHu-
mante,' calls the British luckier than
the French deputies, 1or "Lloyd George
did not, like Pichon, consider that dis
dain sufficed for the information of
Parliament"
Defends Lloyd George
The petit Parisicn" declares it has
full confidence in the outcome Of the
conference. "LOeuvre" admits that,
though Lloyd George did not complete
~ satisfy the BRITISH curiosity, he
gave some interesting information. The
echo de Paris" thinks that lloyd
George did not sufficiently define Brit
ish policy except in regard to Russia.
1t says:
"Without in any way compromising
the secrets of the Council of Four, it
might have been shown that our lead
ers had a clear view of European af-
fairs and of the hcgemony our alliance
must exercise"
The newspaper also believes the Pre-
micr was unduly severe on certain
newspapers, adding:
"a press sufficiently Informed on
events and deliberations must exist un-
der wise diplomatic regime, for with
out it proper collaboration between tie
government and public opinion cannot
exist"
