ITALIAN ULTIMATUM CAUSING MUCH CONCERN
Special to Tlio Nome Nugget by The Associated Press.
PARIS. March 22—The Italian ultimatum regarding the Dalmatian roast
and the resultant effects on the peace settlements is causing much concern
among the Peace Confereee delgates.
Many of the delegates express the view that the Italians have precip
itated a situation which may result in much discoid and friction before the
conflicting claims of Italy and the Jugo-Slavs are finally adjusted. The in
clination to deplore the Italian attitude is visible on all sides and the Paris
press is growing strongly denounciatory o'er what is termed Italy's inclination
jo take advantage of the self determination principles espoused by the Allies
to satisfy her personal greed for teritory.
It is believed, however, that a favorable solution will he worked out.
Most of the peace delegates believe that Wilson will take charge of the whole
question and will exert his immense influence with the Italians to bring about
a solution.
Says Allies Must Choose Between Italy and Slavs
HALIFAX, March 22—General Gumelielmotti. the Italian military at
tachee of the Italian embassy at Washington, in an address here today declared
tiiat Italy will not recede from her claims to the Italian populated sections
of the Dalmatian littoral.
“The Allies must choose between Italy and the Jugo-Slavs”, he declared.
• Her claims are fully justified under the self determination principles adopted
by the Allies* as the deciding factor in territorial disputes brought before the
peace confernce for settlement”, ho continued “Italy, therefore, expects that
France, the United States and England will hack up her claims to the Dal
matian coast.”
WILSON KEEPING IN CLOSE TOUCH WITH HOME
SENTIMENT REGARDING LEAGUE OF NATIONS
Special to The Nugget by The Associated Press.
PARIS, March 22—(Associated Press Special Leased Wire and Cable
Service)—President Wlilson is reported keeping in close touch with home
sentiment regarding the League of Nations, through the American press and
Secretary Tumulty, who Is said tokeep the president ndvsed by cable messages
almost daily.
Important delays involving the final draft ot the. peace treaty present
a prospect that Wilson will not be able to return to the l nited States as early
as anticipated. In the view of the Americans here, among them numerous con
gressmen. there is much reason to anticipate a postponment ol the extra ses
sion of congress made necessary by the Senate filibuster during the elosing
days of the last session. A majority of the Americans believe that the special
session will be deferred to the middle of May, as there appears little prospect
at present that President Wilson will be able to return home before that time.
Those close to the executive say ho will go home earlier if the peace treaty
is advanced sufficiently to make his presence unnecessary at the final windup
of the peace settlements.
Senate Divided Over Opening Date Special Session
WASHINGTON, March 22—Washington officials believe there is little
prospect that the special congressional sessions will open before middle of May
owing to the peace settlement delays incident to the League of Nations dis
cussions at Paris. Cabinet officers also express the belief that the session will
not convene until at least the middle of May, although there is nothing to in
dicate that Wilson has changed ids decision regarding the calling of the extra
session. The Senate is apparently somewhat divided over the matter. Sen
ator Lodge has asked the Republican senators to favor May 15 as the opening
day. Others believe that the peace question will be resolved by May 1 and favor
calling the special session as soon thereafter as possible.
