POWERS NOW LOOK TO
WILSON TO CLEAR UP
ITALIAN SITU A TION
Premiers Meet With Colonel House in
Effort to Arrive at Solution of
Question Vexing Nations
ITALY WANTS DELEGATION
TO COME BACK WITH TITLE
PARIS, March 22. —Hope was expressed last night in Peace
Conference circles that by the first of next week a plan would
!>e presented which would surmount the difficult} in the way of
completion of the peace-making work of the conference raised by
the threat of Italy to withhold approval of any peace treaty not
definitely settling up the 1 talian-Jugo-Slav controversy. President
Wilson has the whole question before him, and it is from him that
the plan upon which hope of a satisfactory settlement is based is
looked for.
Italy Stirs Pence Board
The action of the Italian delega
tion, taken as a unit, amounting
virtually to an ultimatum directed
to the Supreme Council, gave great
concern to the other delegations to
day. Although the Supreme Council
was occupied with a consideration
of the western Polish boundary, the
premiers, themselves, with Colonel
E. M. House, were engaged in trying
to find some solution to the very
difficult problem presented by the
action of the Italians
It has been known for some time
that the Italian delegates were ap- 1
prehensive that any program adopt
ed by the Supreme Council which
< ontemplated the relegation of the
Italy-Jugo-Slav controversy to the
League of Nations, when it is form
ed, or even its consideration by the
Supreme Council after the comple
tion of tiie peace treaty with Ger
many would seriously jeopardize
Italian claims.
Public Mind Surcharged
Some of the Italian delegates have
expressed 'he fear that immediately j
after the conclusion of the German ■
treaty President Wilson, Premier,
l.loyrl George and perhaps other;
leading llgures in the council would
leave Paris and the remaining mem
bers of the council would not have
full powers to deal with Italian de
mands. The state of mind of the
Italian public is declared to be such
that the failure of the Italian dele
gation to return from Paris speed
ily with title to Flume and the Dal
mation coastal islands might easily
have grave internal results
Thus for many weeks past they
have been simply flooding other
delegations and the offices of for
< ign correspondents with literature
to support Italian claims. This in
vited the Serbian delegation In Paris l
to very sharp responses which were!
given to the press and which do-!
nounced Italian contentions as being
in absolute violation of President
Wilson's "fourteen points" because
they deny access to the sea to the!
Jugo-Slav population in the interim.
Insist on Having 1-lumc
The itulian claim, of course, is
that, racially, historically and econ-j
omically, the port of Fiume and the j
immediate vicinity are Italian. They (
claim that tiie eastern Adriatic 1
coast must also go to Italy as a
military measure to insure protec
tion to exposed Italian cities on the;
western shore of the Adriatic.
The Supreme Council is culled
upon indirectly, in deciding this is-;
sue, to pass upon the validity of se- (
cud treaties negotiated in London;
in 1315, some of which at least are 1
held to bo at variance with Mr. Wil- '
son's "fourteen points." The conn- j
i ll is also embarrassed by the prob
able effect of any decision it may I
make in the Fiume case upon Greek !
iid French claims to the Symrna
oast and on Polish claims to Lem- |
erg and Daqzig.
I'lan Expected From Wilson
It is expected President Wilson!
will present some plan of solution j
by Sunday. One possible solution of'
the problem now under considera- I
tion is that military experts of the
Supreme Council, who has dis-l
charged themselves of German war
issues, should at once consider the;
Italian claims, under instructions to j
present a solution in time to se
cure acMon upon them simultano-:
ously with the disposition of the
German peace treaty. One difficulty j
-s the lack of a competent govern- ;
inent in Austria with which to ne
gotiate. Another is the distribution ;
among the new states formerly part !
of Austria of the proper share of
war indemnities which they must
a -ss unie.

Philip Andrews, who has been in

Iguidon, March 22. —The British
dominions do not feel that they,
should take the responsibilitv of en- '
ling into the deciding of the dif
ferences of European nations where !
the British empire is not directly
involved, it is set for in a memo

submitted by Kir Robert Borden, the
i unadian Premier, to the British -
delegation at the Peace Conference, j
according to the Paris correspondent
of the Morning Post.

spondent states, is supported by the
American delegation, it was not sub- j
uiitted. lie adds, after consultation i

By Associated Press
Washington, March 22. Collec
tions from the first quartely instal
ment of Income and profits tuxes due
(last Saturday amounted to $1,001,-
(244,000 in sixty-three of the sixty -
j four collection districts, internal
i revenue Commissioner Roper un-
I nounced to-day.
This figure probably will he tn

This is more than the Treasury
had expected from this instalment
! payment, and without a complete
I analysis officials believe it is account
, ed for by the fact that many citi
zens paid their tax in full instead of
taking advantage of the instalment
j privileges. An examination of rce

Department Explains Removal
I Mr. Mackay was not in the office
at the time.
An announcement by the Post
Office Department says that the or
' dor removing Messrs. Mackay, Cook
; and Deegan from tlie operation of
the Postal Company's land lines un
] der government control "was made
necessary by the fact that since the |
! Post office Department refused to j
i grant the company the compensation
asked for by them, these officials j
have refused or failed to follow out
the instructions of the department j
in the management of the proper- :
;tics: and failed to put. into opera-|
tion promptly the wage schedule j
land tDo eight-hour day: and in va
rious ways endeavored to embarrass
1 and discredit the government oper- I
ation of the wires.
"The reason for the refusal of the I
department to grant the compensa
tion asked for was that the sworn !
statement, submitted to the Inter-)
stale Commerce Commission in be- j
half of tlie company, placed the
: net income for 1 917 at $ll 7,204, while 1
the sworn statements they made to
the wire control- hoard as a basis for
compensation placed tDo net income
for the same year at $4,455,593.34." I
