(General Palmer has decided to givcj
an opinion on the legality of the ac
tion of the Southern cotton growers
‘to limit their crop this year in an ef
fort to maintain prices. This opinion,
it is explained, was sought by Sec
retary IHouston to throw light on the
cituatic nwhich caused complaints
from a number of cotton consuming
interests.
Since the matter didn’t involve di
rectly any administrative matters in
‘in the Department of Agriculture
| however, Attorney-General Palmer de

lwas in accord with the law limiting

Premicer’s Action.
Paris, April 25.—As to the gravity
of the crisis in the peace conference
there are no two opinions alike in
France today.
There is agreement also that there
will be no stone left unturned to find
a solution for the existing deadlock.
Rupture not Intended
Paris, April 24.—Writing in i.e Jour
nal today M. St. Brice declares that
a rupture was so far from the inten
tion of the Italians yesterday that in
the morning salvatore Barzilai called
upon Premier Clemenceau in behalf o
the Italian delegation and submitted a
fresh proposal for a compromise by
which Italy would take the city of
Miume and the Jugo-Slavs would take
the suburb of Susk across the river'
Recina.
Italy further agreed to renounce her
claim to the Dalmatian coast, getting
the islands only and receiving from
the League of Nations a mandate to
‘rdminister the cities of Zava and Seb
;ellico.

'states, when Wilson's statement came

Italian Press Indignant
Rome, Wednesday, April 23.—The
Italian Press as a whole considers the
withdrawal of the Italian delegation
from the peace conference as inevita
ble, if Italy's aspirations are not re
cognized,
Should this be the case it is fore
cast in political circles that Orlando
and Sonnio wil return and offer their
resignations which the parliament wil?
unanimously reject.
Some of the newspapers point out
that Italy’s position in Paris is simi
lar to that of Japan, who they say,
also may be obliged to leave the con
ference if their claims are rejected.
It is reported that the British troops
in Fiume are about to leave the city.
’ Separate Peace for Italy
- Paris, April 24-—Premier Orlando
issued a lengthy statement today re
plying to President Wilson in which
he states in so many words that he is
compelled to withdraw from the peace
conference after Wilson's m'tion.l
which is regarded as a departure
from the diplomatic custom andl‘
leaves the Italians no other course.
King Victor Emmanuel has tele
graphed Orlando commending his ac
tion and insisting that there be no
recession from the position Italy has
taken.
Lloyd-George called on Orlando be
fore the council met this morning
and had a long conference. It was
stated in Italian quarters that should
a break become definite, Italy will
approach Germany with a view to
making a separate peace.
Announcement was made that Par
liament in Italv would meet immed
iately on Orlando’s return, probably in
a day or two. Preliminary instruc
fions have already been telegraphed
to Rome. *
After Lloyd-George's visit to Or
lando it was stated that the Italian
premier had postponed his departure
from Papis until eight o'clock this
evening.
