ALLIED POLICY
ROME. June 2o. The position of
Itnlv is less favorable now than uf
the beuinniui: of the peace conference,
because the Italian delciratiou has
approved all that Great Britain and
France have nskeiin Asia nnd Africa,

address to the senate todnv.
if this situation should continue,
ho sniil. Great Britain nnd France
would bo nt pence nnd free (o demob

would be impossible for Itnlv to do
th s becnusc she would not bo at

Siimor Tittoni said he hoped the
rights of Itnlv would be rccocnized
because of her enormous sacrifices.
Former Premier Orlando, the for
eign minister continued, had told him
of the present status of Italy's nego
tiations. which lie summarized briefly
as follows:
"Tho frontier with the Austrian re
public is outlined as we desired.
''Uesrnrdiiur the Adriatic, after

"On June 21 the German warships
which hod been handed over to the
allied and associated powers, at an
chor in the roadstead at Scapa Flow
with the German care and mainten
ance parties on board as provided

that the armistice should be observ

"The sinking of these ships instead
of their preservation ns had been
provided for, and in breach of the
undertaking embodied in article 31
of the armistice against all acts of

an net of gross bad faith toward the
