COMPLETELY AGREES
WITH AMERICAN NOTE
Italy Trusts hat Just Rights of
Everybody Will Be
Recognized.
fsv The AssocIated Press,

WASHINGTON, April 29.-Complete
agreement With the position of the
United States in regard to the island
of zap as expressed by Secretary
Hughes in his notes to the four pEin-
cipal allied powers is expressed in a
note delivered to the state department
today by the Italian ambassador.
The Italian government said it was
convinced that the United States was
seeking no privilege in Yap not grant
ed to other nations and it offered
Italy's cooperation to restore equana-
nifty to the world.
The full text of the Italian note fol-
lows:
ITALY is fully convinced that the
United States are not asking for any
privilege in the Island of Yap which
is not equally granted to every other
nation, including Japan. Italy is also
convinced that the United States in
tends to protect their interest in the
Island of zap with full consideration
for the interest of other nations.
Italy therefore has not hesitated to
express herself in tway which COM
pletely agrees with the text of the
American note of the fifth of April,
concerning IHen@ equality oil "a tights
among mandatories in the exercise of
their mandates.
Italy wishes and trusts that the
just rights of everybody concerned be
recognized always and everywhere, in
the island of zap as well as in every
other place and circumstance, with
perfect equality and justice.
Italy seconded the Anglo French
proposal which confided the study of
the Yap question to the jurisdicial
committee and the conference of am
bassadors in Paris, and she now ex-
poets that the conference will pro-
nounee itself with equanamity in such
wayHas to eliminate every possibility
of disagreement and to conciliate all
conflicting interests.
Italy is particularly glad whenever
the moral policies of the two govern
ments and the material interests of the
two nations agree in such a way as to
put Italy and the United States in a
position to cooperate towards the at
tainment sof the common ends, which
consists in the realization of an era of
serene peace and prosperity for the
civilized world

of Adjusting Their
Differences.
fsy The Associated Press !,

+ WASHINGTON, April 29.-Hope for
a settlement by national agreement of
disputes between printing trade unions
and employers over wages and hours
was abandoned today by Secretary
Davis after series of separate con-
ferences with both sides.
Union representatives left the city
without having been requested to re-
turn.
Lack of an organization of printing
employers authorized to sign national
agreement was given by Secretary
Davis as his reason for abandoning his
attempt to replace the local agreements
between the men and employers which
expire May. 1.
Settlement Of disputes is now in the
hands of the various employers and
