French Charge
Wilson Blocks
Pact of Fil1n1e
Paris Press Says President
Clings to Original Views
and Italian Issue Is as
Acute as At the Outset

PARIS May 9 (By The Associated
Press) The Italian difficulty is as far
from settlement as ever, according to
the French press, which asserts that
President Wilson maintains his posi-
tion, and it is not believed he will de-
part from it in the slightest. He has
not adhered to the proposed compromise
by which Italy would administer Fiume
as 8 mandatory Of the league of ma
tions until 1928, after which Fiume
would revert to Italian sovereignty, the
Jugo-Slavs being given a port few
miles lower down the Adriatic coast, it
is said.
The impression in French conference
circles is that Italy is temporarily
abandoning her claim to Fiume and will
exact full execution of the Pact of
London, which, as it involves not only
Dalmatia but the Dodecanese Islands,
will raise the whole Greek problem and
singularly complicate the situation.

Paris. The newspaper expresses the
hope that a compromise will be reached.
"Once Great Britain, France and Italy
agree to this compromise" adds the
newspaper, there will only remain to
be overcome the opposition of Presi-
dent Wilson, ut we trust that the emf :
nent chief of the great Republic will
insure the final success of the great
work Of universal peace to which he
has dedicated SO much study.o
