 Nor was there visible any sign on the part of the British and French premiers and President Wilson of weakening in the stand they have taken that ItaIy's price Is too high. Promises alleged to have been made to Italy by France and Great Brit ain in the London treaty are being held too infIexiblc by the Italians. The Italians did not at tend Tuesdays meeting of the council of four. which put aside en- tireIy the Italian claims and dis cussed with Baron MakinO and ViscOunt Chinda of the Japanese delegation the question of the fu- ture of kiaO-Chau.
 Apparently there is still much bitterness over the Italian ques- tf0n. One of the Italian delegates told the Associated Press it was considered useless for the Italians to take further part in the confer ences unless the allies were agree able tO granting Italy's request. One compromise has been suggested to the Italians, but declined by them.
