and the Dalmatian coast district TO
which Italy has laid claim. He be-
gan by saying the international sit
uation was grave at present. ADDING
that 1t was very grave" for italy.
He said 1t was the duty of Italy to
preserve an attitude of calm ana
serenity at the present moment
An outline of the conference be-
tween himself and President Wilson
was given by Premier Orlando who
made il clear that the Presidents ac-
ton in making public his statement
as to Italy's claims to F1ume had
made il impossible to either accept
or reject any proposals that might be
made. He said he believed IT his
duty to come at once before the par
lament to receive authority in carry
ing forward his work at the confer
ence. Up until April IA, when he re-
ceived from President Wilson the
|, American viewpoint on Fiume he said
he thought an agreement was prob
able.
During his address the premier
spoke of the attitude at Paris by the
British and French governments,
which he said had been loyal 10
promises made in the Treaty of Lon
don. which was framed in 1915. He
admitted however that both France

| Mr.. Wilson 1t was absolutely impos-
sible for me to agree to peace on the
conditions indicated.
THE Italian delegation did no
maintain an optomistic attitude but
co-operated during the following day

II was continuing patiently to seek a
means of conciliation and was DIS
cussing the subject with the British
premier when the presidential mes
sage appeared.
aThis new fact seemed to the Ital-
| ian delegation of enormous gravity,
as II made public a dissension which
until then, although deep, was con-
fined inside the conference. Besides
making statements addressed to the
sentiments and will of peoples In gen.

Therein she only did her duty as the
Allies have done, but that fact trans
formed friendship into blood fellow

italy appealed to the Allied peoples
and government.
