PREMIER ORLANDO IS GIVEN
VOTE Of APPROVAL BY ITALY

was distributed among the members of
parliament yesterday by the premier,
Signor Orlando said.
Ina smuch as this memorandum de-
MED ltalys right over the Dalmattan
islands, accorded only incomplete lib
erty to Fiume and even went so far as
TO break up the unity Of Istria, | told
Mr.. Wilson II was absolutely impossible
for me to agree to peace on the Condi-
tons indicated. I added that, under
such conditions, the Italian delegation
felt II could not continue to participate
In the conference with any benefit for
others or dignity for Italy, but said |
would communicate with representa-
tiVes of the allied overs with which
Italy was bound by special agreements.
President Wilson showed great re-
gret for such "A hypothesis. adding he
would do everything possible to pre-
vent It, He said he thought II oppor-
tune and useful that France and Eng
land should undertake to find a means
of Cancellation while he would have the
question re-eXamined by his experts to
see II further concessions could be made
to Italian aspirations.
THE Italian delegation did not main
tain an obstinate attitude, but CO
operated during the following days In
efforts to find a way to cancellation,
II was anxious not to DELAY peace and
TO avoid compromising the union Of the
allied peoples, eve by a mare appear
ance OF disagreement. 1t was Continu-
ing patiently to seek a means of con
citation and was discussing the sub
ject with the British premier when the
presidential MESSAGE anpeared,
This new fact seemed TO the Italian
delegation of enormous gravity as II
made public 4 discussion which until
then although deep, was confined in
side the conference, Besides making
| gtntnnnnntQ nHdTnagnH tn thn Gnntimpnt
and will Of peoples in general, and
therefore to the Italian people, the fun
authority and therefore the prestige OF
the Italian delegates was doubted just
In the grave and decisive hour when
II was most needed
Addressing himself to the attitude
Of Italy at the peace conference and
the Justice Of her demands, the premier
continued:
ITALY did not measure her sacrifices
by the letter OF her treaty with the
allied powers and did not ask for help
vhen she had to withstand the shock
OF the Austrian army, as she might
have done under the treaty, Therein
she only did her duty as the allies have
done, but the act transformed friend
ship into blood fellowship and 1t was
In that sense that Italy appealed TO
the allied peoples and governments,
"The question OF Fiume was not
first brought forward by Italy but by
a thrilling act of spontaneous will which
began at the declaration of Fumes
representative in the Hungarian parIia-
ment and which was subsequently con-
firmed whom Fiumc proclaimed herself
on Italian town,
Can our great nation remain inert
and unmoved by the vehement and
despairing appeal OF this people whose
blood is OF our blood? No, Italy does
not need to put forward a formal thesis

CUBAN TOBACCO
WORKERS STRIKE

HAVANA, April 30-Apparently there
is little prospect of an early settlement
of the strike of tobacco workers Of Ha-
vana and Pinar del Rio provinces,
which has been on for nearly two
weeks and was called primarily in SYM
pathy with striking cigar box workers,
who refused to accept pay on piece
work basis.
Representatives of the larger tobacco
houses where the men are on strike
recently sent q message to dealers in
the United States and England max
ing inquiry as to their attitude TO"
ward higher prices to meet the de-
mands of the cigar makers for a 20 per
cent increase in pay. A reply from one
of the most important firms in the
United states that increased prices for
Cuban tobacco would favor the Ameri-
can tobacco growing industry and be
ruinous for that of Cuba, and that
they could not continue to favor Ha-
vana manufacturers with their orders
II the strikers succeeded in forcing
prices to the %prohibitive point.
A message from the executive com
mittee OF the British chamber OF com
merce states that the British govern
ment has thrown on the market large
quantities of the tobacco bought tor
the army, and that, because OF THIS
supply and high custom rates, higher
prices would force cancellations OF or
ders already placed for the Cuban
product,
