Faris, April 23.—The Italian delega
tion to the peace conference reassert

firm on the question of Fiume, indi
cating that unless the council changed
its position, the delegation would not

the Italian representatives.

Islands no longer prevails, since the
Austrian naval menace has ceased to
exist.
Facts In Deadlock
Paris, April 23.—The facts of the
deadlock over the Italian Adriatic
claims, according to the Petit Paris
ien, are as follows: President Wil
son proposes that Fiume, which is not
mentioned in the treaty of London,
‘should be a free city, but attached
lto the Jugo-Slav customs system, and
further, that the treaty of London
'be subjected to total revision: Italy
refused to accept this whereupon
President Wilson withdrew, leaving
Italy with her representatives and oth
er signatories of the treaty.
Duirng the meetings of these, the
Italian premier and foreign minister
were most conciliatory. Orlando
asked on what conditions France and
Great Britain would consent to- give
Fiume to Italy, Sonnino said he was
ready to discuss a revision of the
| London treaty.
' However President Wilson, while
| not present, had kept in touch with
lthe meeting and then wanted to re
| open *the question of the treaty of
| London, but without joining the re
'vision to the fate of Fiume. The
iPresident receded from the first pro
|l)osal to make Fiume a free city and
‘was inclined to give it absolutely to
. the Jugo-Slavs.
| Clemenceau and Lloyd-George are
| understood to be ready to adhere to
the treaty of London, at the same
time seeking a means of conciliation.
