RECOGNITION FOR
SOVIET RUSSIANS
URGED BY ROBINS

New York, March 22.-Recognition
of the Lenine- -Trotzky government by
the United States and the allies was
urged by Colonel Raymond Robins,
former head of the Amelcan Red
Cross mission to Russia, In an ad-
dress here today before the league
of free nations association.
Asserting that since his retirement
from the mission, he felt no longer
the necessity of silence, Colonel Rob-
ins vigorously defended the Bolshe-
vik leaders and criticized the ,atti-
tude of the United Stat(s toward
them.
Colonel Robins said he had found
that the soviets were the only force
in Russia, "who could get something
done expeditiously." Defending Len
inc and Trotzky. he said they would
not have signed the Rrest-Litovsky
treaty with Germany had their over
lures to the allies been accepted.
Il believe" declared Colonel Rob-
ins, that Russia has the right to
have the kind of government the
Russian people want and l do not
believe that any government set up
by foreign rifles can be naintaine,
except by foreign rifles. We must
abandon the seven per cent indoor
tea table, boulevard point Of view and
adopt the SO per cent mind of Rus

ITALIANS HUNGRLER THAN IN

OF BIG MILAN NEWSPAPER

the one that best realizes the need
and urgency for feeding Germany and
the former Austrian territories. Suf-
fering acutely herself from lack of
food, coal and other commodities,
Italy is in a position to understand
what starva ton and hardship really
mean to a nation. She gave clear
proof of this when, soon after the
signing of the armistice with Austria

sponse to urgent calls from Vienna,

collect.
This IVES a gift whose value de-
pended not so much upon its intrinsic
worth as upon the fact that in order
to provide the enemy with food Italy
had actually to snatch It from her
own mouth. And this is in no figura-
tive but in a literal sense, because to
make good the deficit which the help
to Austria created In her own stocks
rations in Italy had to be still further
reduced. And then, as now Italy was
suffering from the pangs of hunger
1t will probably come as shock to
the American public to learn that the
privations and hardships in Italy
have not ceased with the advent OF
peace but have. on the contrary
actually been aggravated since the
signing of the armistice.

JAPS DECLARE THEY

Concern Aroused by Speech Of
Viscount IShii on Race QueS-
ton Ended by Direct State
ment of Delegates.


Paris, Friday, March 21 (by the
Associated Press) Hope was eX-
pressed tonight in peace conference
circles that by the first of next week
a plan would be presented which
would surmount the difficulty in the
way of completion of the peace maxi
ing work of the conference raised by
the threat of Italy to withhold ap-
proval of any peace treaty not defi-
nitely settling the Italian -Jugo-Slav
controversy. President Wilson has the
whole question before him and 1t is
from him that the plan, upon which
hope of a satisfactory settlement is
based, is looked for.
The action of the Italian delega-
tion taken as unit, amounting vir-
tually to an ultimatum directed to
the supreme council, gave great con-
cern to other delegations today. AL
though the supreme council was oc-
cupied with a consideration of the
western Polish boundary, the pre-
miers themselves. with Col, f. M.
House, were engaged in trying to find
some solution to the very difficult
problem presented by the action of
the Italians.
The state of mind of the Italian
public is declared to be such that the
failure of the Italian delegation to
return from Paris speedily with title
to Fiume and the Dalmatian coastal
islands might easily have grave in
a. pxft
to statements by some of the dele
gatien. 5'ss-4 s'a fi''N $ 7trass sstz'--'ss
The Italian claim, of course, is that,
racially, historically and economic
ally the port Of Fiums and the i'm
mediate vicinity is Italian. They
claim that the eastern Adriatic coast
must also go TO Italy as u military
measure to insure protection to OK
posed Italian cities on the western
shore of the Adriati'.
The supreme council is called upon
indirectly in deciding this issue. to
pass upon the validity of secret
treaties, negotiated in London in 1915,
some of which at least are held to be
at variance with Mr.. Wilson's -four
teen points" The council is also
embarrassed by the probable effect
of any decision it may make in the
Fiums case upon Greek and French
claims to the SMYRNA coast. Polish
claims to Leplberg and Polish claims
to Danzig.
The whole question will go before
President Wilson for solution. 1t is
expected he will present some plan
by Sunday. One possible solution of
the problem now under consideration
is that military experts of the supreme
war council, who have discharged
themselves of German war issues
should at once consider the Italian
claims under instructions to present
a solution in time to secure action
upon them simultaneously with the
disposition of the German peace
treaty.
