Italy Wants Border
Claims Settled Along
With Those of France

PARIS, April l. - Settlement of
Italy's frontier question contempo-
raneously with that Of France was in
sisted upon to-day by Premier Orlando
at conference with President Wilson
just before the Council of Four con-
vcned to discuss the Italian frontier
question.
The Italian Premier asked the Presi-
dent whether he did not think it ad-
visable to have an informal exchange
of views on the Italian problem, es-
pecially as regards the Adriatic, before
it is presented to the council. The
President replied that he shared this
view, but owing to pressure Of work
had been unable personally to study
the Italian question. However, he
promised to do so.
Premier Orlando's suggestion of a
simultaneous settlement Of the from
tier question involves joint peace
with Austria, plan which is favored
by the American delegation, provided
it does not cause too much delay. In
this connection, the American boun-
daries commission expects this weeek
to conclude all boundaries, including
those Of Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey

lndenlnities at Once
To Ruined Factories
In France PrODOsed

PARIS, April l (By The Associated
Press).-1t is suggested in authorita-
tive circles that the difficult question
of protecting ruined French and Bel
gian industries from German competi-
tion before they can be restored, and
at the same time permit the Germans
to import raw materials and resume ex-
portations at an early date, so as to
facilitate the payment of indemnities,
might be settled by allowing indemni-
ties to the owners Of ruined factories,
these to be calculated on a basis of
proved profits for a certain number of
years before the war
1t is pointed out that trade could be
reserved for the devastated factories
only by restricting the entry Of manu-
factures of all foreign countries into
the markets concerned during the en-
tire period of reconstruction. In view
of the urgent requirements of these
markets, however, this is considered
impossible.
Financial compensation with priority
in the matter of reparation, is proposed
as the best alternative, as it has the
advantage of increasing Germany's pay
ing capacity.

Root Amendments
Win Approval of
L. S. Peace Envovs

PARIS. April Commenting on the
SIX amendments to the covenant of The
league of nations suggested by Elihu
Root, it was stated to-day by one of
the legal specialists associated with
the American peace conference dele
cation that he believed all the amend
ments were acceptable to the American
delegation
The suggestion that the American
representatives. sign the covenant, with
the reservation that the United States
does not relinquish its traditional at
titude toward purely American uues-
tions, is apparently regarded with
favor. The delegates are impressed
also by the proposed amendment pro-
vidlng for revision of the convention
within not less than five years, nor
moro than ten years.
The suggestion for the signature of
the covenant by the United States with
reservations designed to insure the
safety of tho Monroe Doctrine and
safeguard American immigration laws,
it was suggested. involves no new pro
cedurc, as the reservations would be
somewhat similar to those with which
the Algeciras treaty was signed.
Mr.. Roots amendments were in the
l'ands of the American peace delega-
ton for several days before thev were
published in the United States. They
had been carefully considered by the
delegates, who expressed their appre-
citation of this definite and construc-
tive criticism.
Several of the Root sugcc stions are
believed by the delegates to be COW
cred by the covenant as it now stands
in its amended form

Not Blocking Peace:
We Ask Only Justice,
Says French Official

PARIS, April 1 (By United Press D.
A high French official denied TODAY
that France is blocking the road to
peace by interposing cxorbitant de-
mands and insisting that hcr claims
take precedence over those of the other
allies
France has perhaps more to gain
from permanent peace than any
other nation" this official said. But
we might as we'll prepare to die as to
make peace hich would not remove
the stupendous financial, industrial and
economic handicap which confronts as.
1T IS g gross injustice to France to
allow the world to believe that We are
trying to crush Germany or bring in
justice into the peace conference Are
we not next door to Germany? Would
we not be the first sufferers when re-
action set in?
"All France asks is to be left in a
position to take care of herself We
merely wish to have the handicap re-
moved by the treaty restoring Frances
economic, industrial and financial
status, whereby she will be able to
take her position beside other nations
untouched by the actual ravages of
war. This simple work of justice done.

colonies

just been made to America. One was

Chinese territory. as we'll as political
influence over the Chinese government,
aims not entertained by the jap
anese as regards Latin-America or
Mexico, according TO Japanese spokes-
men here.
Latins Invite Japanese
It was regarded as possible to- day
that the question Of Japanese emigra-
ton to Latin America might become
alive II much more latitude is given
TO the discussion Of Japanese invest
ments and Developments in Mexico
Latin american diplomatic commenta-
tors here would regard such an
eventuality as unfortunate, it was
learned to-day. They assert that their
countries must depend upon immigra-
tlon for the development of their re
sources, and that Japanese immigrants
have IN the main proved themselves
to be desirable.
Japanese immigration in South
America, which has received impetus
in the past few years, has not assumed
proportions which threaten tho
economic systems of those countries
nor has it lowered the standard of lv-
ing. 1t was indicated that the Latin
American would look with decided dis
favor upon any ATTEMPT by the United
States to interfere with the Japanese
immigration movement to South
America, and that only prejudice
against the United States could be IN
spired by any such policy if pursued
by the American government.
New Diplomatic Era Seen
In both Japanese and American Off
cial circles it was believed that the
visit of Niscount lshi to the United
States on a special miss ion. which re-
suited in the negotiation of the Ishi-
Lansing agreement, removed the main
causes of distrust and suspicion be-
tween the United States and Japan. 1t
was further expected when the Wis
count was appointed ambassador TO
this country that a new era in the re-
lations between Japan and the United
States was being ushered in.

Bishop OF Spalato
Presents Jugo-Slau
Claims to Wilson

PARIS, April 1 (By The Associated
Press)-President Wilson again was
in attendance day at the meetings
of the Council of Four dealing with
peace problems. Between the sessions
of the council the President received
tn Bishop Of Spalato, representing
Jugo- -Slav interests in the Dalmatian
coast controversy
In the forenoon the President had
conference with Josephus W. Dan
iels, American Secretary of the Navy,
shortly before the latter's departure
for Italy.
Notwith standing the delay in reach
peace treaty, Premier Lloyd George.
the Paris edition of "The London Daily
Mail" says, does not intend to return
to England before the questions are
adjusted, in spite of his desire to
attend the closing meeting of the
British Labor Conference.
Czech Report Received
The Council of Foreign Ministers,
at its meeting this afternoon. re-
ceived the report OF the peace confer
ence commission on Czecho- Slovak ter
ritorial claims and discussed the ad
visibility of holding a plenary session
Of the conference for a discussion of
the report on international labor legis-
lation. The report was made by the
commission designated by the full
conference and, consequently, it prob
ably will be received at plenary ses-
sion.
The foreign ministers also con-
sidered the question of holding bust
ness sessions at Versailles when the
German delegates arrived there. Be-
cause of the inadequate heating ar
rangements and its inconvenient loca-
tion there is some doubt whether Yer
sailles would be satisfactory for a
business session, although historic
reasons make it imperative that the
peace treaty be signed there.
Delay Perturbs Americans
A feeling Of apprehension over the
lack Of progress on the peace treaty
persists in American circles here, al
though it is stated in authoritative
quarters that differences which have
arisen have not reached the status of q
deadlock.
New-York tribune., 1919-04-29

recently held in Berne and received
various amendments which the mem
bers of the committee desired to be
included in the covenant Of the league
Of nations.
The committee was composed of Ar
thur Henderson, G.. II. Stuart Burning
and J. Ramsey Macdonald, for Great
Britain: Jean Longuet and Pierre Rem
audel, for France; Hialmar Branting,
for Sweden, and Camille Huysmans. for
Belgium. The committee claimed to
speak for the Socialists of twenty-six
countries represented at the Berne con-
gress.
Want Russia Admitted
Among the principal amendments the
ton of provision facilitating the entry
into the league as soon as possible Of
Germany and Russia, which they be-
lieved to be essential to disarmament
and the prevention of the spread Of
anarchy. To this Lord Robert replied
that It was impossible to admit states
without stable governments
The committee proposed the supcrvi-
sion of disarmament, to which Lord
Robert replied by giving the reasons
which has led the league of nations COM
mission to reject a proposal for the CON
tnuous international inspection of
armaments.
The committee also hed proposals
respecting the method of choosing dele
gates to the league. expressing the be-
lief that nomination by the govern
ments would not be representative.
They said they preferred the elective
system
For States to Decide
Lord Robert explained that this ques-
ton was for the various states to de-
eide themselves. Regarding war, the
committee thought that it should be tot
ally abolished, except where the league
itself made war to enforce its man
dates. Lord Robert agreed in principle.
but thought that the world had not vet
attained the development to make it
practicable and possible
Other points presented were the be-
lief that mandates should be defined
in detail before territory was handed
over to mandatory government and
that no mandates should be given IN
I'll all nations had been admitted to
the. league. In reply, Lord Robert said
ne believed that all mandates would be
defined in special treaties before the
mandatory power undertook it's func-
tons of government, but dwelt upon
the necessity for the appointment of
mandates in many cases as soon as
possible

Gets Bill to Prohibit
Japanese Land Leasing

SACRAMENTO, Cal, April IA bill
which would amend the California anti
alien land law to prohibit Japanese
from leasing land in this state was
offered in the State Senate to-day by
Senator Inman.
He also introduced joint resolu-
ton urging American delegates to the
peace conference to provide in the
league of nations covenant "that the
several nations, for themselves, shall
control the subject of immigration
and exercise such discrimination as
they see fit to preserve their popula-
tom
The resolution called attention to q
proposal Of Japanese delegates to the
conference for free immigration" and
declared that "the free coming of non
assimilable Oricntals would destroy
or eliminate the white population Of

days
New-York tribune., 1919-04-29

pcdited effort followed a long session
in which there had been more than
the usual oratory. 1t came at the
close of day when financial experts
had been called before the President
and the premiers.
Saar Valley Discussed
They had explained the different
points of view that had arisen dur
ing the consideration of the question
of reparation. Military experts like
wise had been consulted at length re-
garding tho disposition of the Saar
Valley, the left bank of the Rhine,
the problem Of Danzig and other ques-
tions in which strategic issues were
involved.
President Wilson explained toe day
that he WAS willing to accept his
share Of responsibility for the peace
conference delays. He was careful to
point out that the slowness of the
negotiations was not due to any single
country or its representatives., but de-
clared that the time for talk virtually
was finished and that now was the
time to show results.
The Franco German frontier, which
is still the foremost subject before
Premiers Lloyd George, Clemenceau
and Orlando and President Wilson, is
being presented now from q stand
point which offers some prospect Of
agreement.
The first plan was to give France
economic control of the Saar coal fields
so as to offset damage to the coal
mines of northern France. France was
not to have ponticaI control over the
large German population IN the Saar
valley, which would remain with Ger
many
This proved Objectionable and one
of the chief causes Of the Council Of
Four's inaction. The main objection
was the divided control, by which
France would be unable to operate the
mines effectively, prevent strikes and
enforce authority when the Germans
were exercising political control.
Combination of Authority
The new plan, therefore, seeks to
combine French economic and political
authority for temporary period until
the productive capacity of the mines of
Northern France is restored, industrial
production revived and the prostration
due to the war ended. 1t is estimated
that five years will be required to re-
store the mines to normal, and this
probably gives an idea Of the length of
the proposed joint control by France.
The fact that the control would be
temporary would overcome the objec-
ton Of annexation similar to the Ger
man annexation of Alsace-Lorraine in
1870.
New Reparations Plan
The proposal was first advanced as
concerning the Saar region only, but it
is regarded now as equally applicable
to the left bank of the Rhine as
possible basis of agreement.
A new phase of the question of rep
arations is also being presented in the
proposal to avold stating IN the treaty
any specific total, and thus escape
controversy over the largeness or
smallness of the amount.
1t is said that this is possible by
defining the character of the payments
over a period of years, without pre-
cisely defining what the total would
reach, and efforts are being made to
find q formula which would express
this idea.
1t is understood that the plan is con-
sidered advantageous chiefly for
friendly countries, where expectations
New-York tribune., 1919-04-29
e Parley--l42d Day Of the Armistice :--

have been aroused of total much
larger than is likely to be allowed.
New Reparation Plan
The impression is gaining ground
that formula will be found covering
reparation without naming figure,
the suggestion being made Of com
mission to determine the losses of the
different countries.
Marshal Foch attended the early ses-
sion of the council before leaving for
Spa to meet the German plenipotien-
tiary regarding the landing of Po-
lish troops at Danzig.
The Foreign Ministers met to-day
and disapproved the proposal Of George
Nicoll Barnes, the British delegate, for
q plenary meeting of the conference on
Saturday.
King Albert of Belgium, who arrived
to-day, will probably see President
Wilson regarding Belgian interests.
LONDON, April 1.-The preliminary
peace treaty will not be submitted to
the German delegates at Versailles, ac-
cording to the latest information re-
ceived here from French sources. The
treaty, it is said, will be handed to the
Germans at some town farther from

conventions since the armistice.
