April 23- For the moment Italian affairs dominate the peace conference. Some agreement re specting them most be reached . before Italy will consent to the allies submit- t ins: the treaty to Germany. -The Ital ians are relying-. upon the success of France In obtaining- a aatisfactory set tlement of the Saar basin question, and are standing- pat. They, hold Franc and England to the treaty of London by whlch'Italy receives Trieste, Trent and the Dalmatian coast. They are willing to, trade the Dalmatian coast, for Flum. France and England In view, of this treaty are shifting the burden of resist t Italy's claims on Mr. Wilson's ehoul- -rs. The president is handicapped Jrt l is position ty three elements t First. Italy's demand for Flume Is Inconsistent with (he principle of self determination though Italy 4s willing to make Flume a free port under Italian -control for the commerce of the hinterland; second, Mr. . Wilson has already admitted re peated breaches of the principles which were to underlie the peace settlement third, when America entered the peace conference we did not Insist on the ab rogation openly of the treaty of London and other secret treaties as a condition of our principles. : Our representatives contented themselves with asserting their belief that the acceptance of the 1 points abrogated , all secret treaties by inference. ' ' : This assertion is denied by 1 the Ital ians. Consequently Mr. Wilson has lost thB original advantage of the American position and in my opinion 'will yield to the Italian demands, since our renre , sentatives are not standing on the prin ciples enunciated.

Th .tendency ... of the " anti-Bolshevist element in x Russia - Is updoubtedly towards a monarchy; In Siberia, where matters appear to be in better order, the movement la said to be evidently monarchical. Recent reports Indicate a growing hostility ' among the Russian peasants to the Bolshevik!. A peasant movement, if once started, might well be monarchic in its reaction. Positive In terference by the allies alone can have a democratic directive force- In Siberia the Japanese appear to be willing to as sist the Russians with everything which the allies so far have withheld," especially arms and equipment. It is said that the Japanese would not view with dls tetvor a reactionary tendency of the Si berian government. One of the dis couraging features in Russia, is that the allies are reported , to have lost all their friends, both, the Bolshevik! and the antl-Bolshevikl of every class looking to Germany for help. .
