Italy's 100000 people Premier
Orlando, reported to be making a
IL iumphaI passage through the Italian
provinces on his way back to Rome,
is expected to go before parliament
Monday or Tuesday. He will ask a
vote Of confidence In his ministry.
Upon this verdict viii depend Italy's
future course.
A vote Of confidence would empower
Orlando to return to Paris and renew
his demand for Fiume with the added
weight of an alternative Of forcible
annexation. Or, he could even direct
annexation Of the port without the
formalty OF going before the peace
conference again.
It was learned on good authority
today that an official statement by
Premier Lloyd George on the British
position in the controversy, endorsed
by Premier Clemenceau, is in Orlan-
dos hands. He Is free to use it If he
desires. The tone of the statement IS
carefully guarded secret, but If 1t is
consistent with the previously an
nounced British attitude, the Amer
leans, French and British are agreed
that Italy cannot have Fiume.
