mier Orlando in pressing the ex-
treme demands made by Italy.
These reports are particularly
disturbing. as the Americans and
British delegations to the peace con-
ference are said to have had reason
to believe that Premier Orlando
might adopt a course before the
Italian parliament which would lead
to an amicable adjustment. Pre-
mier Lloyd-George was particularly
hopeful that this result would be
brought about.
The reports of the popular agita-
ton at Rome and many other
Italian centers, however. have led
to fears that the Italian prime min
ister's conciliatory attitude may be
swept away in an outburst of feeling
by the populace. which will insist
upon demands far beyond those of
the council of powers or President
Wilson will feel themselves able to
accept.
1t has just developed that the
British, American and French adj
mirals in command in Adriatic wat
ers had formulated plan for giving
Italy certain Dalmatian islands,
which would have assured Italy of
control of the Adriatic. This joint
plan was presented to the Italian
representatives and was rejected as
not sufficient.

DISCUSS FUTURE
OF U. S. SHIPS
Shipping Board Confers With
Labor. Industrial and
Agricultural Men
By Associated Press.

Washington, May Evaporation
of the government-built merchant
marine in peace was discussed from
many angles yesterday by repre-
sentatives of national labor, agricul-
tural and industrial organizations,
called into conference by the Ship
ping Board.
I'VE all have different points of
view," Chairman Hurley told the
gathering. "The shipper wants rea-
sonable freight rates. The carrier
wants reasonable earnings. These
two detectives are not inconsistent.
Efficient operation can achieve them
both"
Three great national needs of the
merchant fleet were outlined by Mr..
Hurley as follows:
Cd Maintenance of an American
ocean mail service capable of COW
ering the world. He said this would
necessitate changing the law to per-
nit compensating ocean carriers on
business basis.
CD Establishment of a centrally
controlled wireless telegraph service
for promoting safety of life and
property at sea and for giving
American shipping and shipping in
terests the advantage of constant
commercial information.
(3) Adequate provision for train
ing officers so that American ships
always would go to sea in charge of
American citizens.
James O'Connell, representing the
American Federation of Labor. de-
clared the laooring man wanted TO
know which would give him the
best working conditions, government
or private ownership of the mer-
chant marine. He said the fedora
ton had not directly endorsed gov
ernment ownership of ocean trans
portation lines, but that some ac-
ton may be taken at the convention
in June, due to war experience
which will lead to that conclusion"
