Italian Press INDIGNANT

Rome. Wednesday, April 23,-The
Italian Press as whole considers the
withdrawal of the Italian delegation
from the peace conference as inevita-
BILE, if Italy's aspirations are not re-
cOgnized.
Should this be the case it is fore
cast in political circles that Orlando
and Sonnio will return and offer their
designations which the parliament will
unanimously reject.
Some of the newspapers point out
that Ttaly's position in Paris is SINH
lar to that of Japan, who they say,
also may be obliged to leave the con
ference if their claims are rejected.
1t is reported that the British troops
in Fiume are about to leave the city.
