British Fear for League;
Paris Paper Raps Wilson

PARIS, April 2l--As to the grave
crisis which has arisen in the peace
conference, there are no two opinions
in France alike today. II is said, how
ever, that no stone must be LETT un-
turned to find a solution OF the exist
ing deadlock.
The more conservative opinion as
represented by such organs as the Fl
garo is inclined TO deplore Presiden,
Wilson's action in making his state
ment public, as likely to do more harm
than good
Its evident object the Figaro says,
'is to transfer TO the market place ne
gotiationS and discussions much better

Mistakes on Both Sides.
NJ. ST. Bricc in lie Journal says the

mistakes made by all parties. The
Italians, he thinks committed gross
blunder in publishing their claims in

ity OF mancuyefing.

heavily on the negotiations from the
