Three principal causes are as

was the holiday session with con-

has been made to Italians inter

attracted attention here to the
question of Syria, Armenia and 9TH
er eastern countries, the future OF
which probably viii be decided by
the peace conference.
On the s-Ipposition that the con

Great Britain and Russia regarding
Asa Minor and other matters af-
fecting relations between ententg
powers must have been communi-
Gated to the Italian governm ent, it
is not apprehended that there will
be any serious conflict OF official

Of Syria's future at the Franco
Syrian conference al Marseilles are
awaited with interest. The view
point here is that Syrian as well
AS French delegates went to that
conference to discuss the question
on the theory of an extension of
French influence in that country.
1t is expected that some aiinite eN-
preston of the desires of the Syr-
ian people will be made through
their delegates.

eastern question is difficult Of early

Whether these questions VII or
will not delay the completion Of it's

plan the peace conference adopts
for its work
