ference was permanent. They declared
that, aside from all other considerations,
Italy's ccononiic. and financial position
would not permit such a step. The Brit-
ish position, as previously stated, is that
the pact of London will stand if Italy
insists, but that the treaty does not give
Kiumc to Italy.
The compromise suggestions made to
Italy by Premier Lloyd-George and Pre
mier Clemenceau are 'known to have
been of an economic nature rather than
territorial nature.
One of Premier Orlando's intimate

Orlando declared he regarded his luturo

America To Receive Only
Portion Of German Ships
Commandeered In War
Taris, April 25. (United
Press.) America will not re-
ceive the full value of Herman
merchant ships she seized, if the
majority report of the repara-
tious couuuittee is confirmed by
the "big three."
A minority report, signed by
Vance McCormick and Bernard
Baruch, gives America all the
ships. Representatives of the
other associated powers recom-
mend placing all the ships in a
big pool for distribution among
the allies, in keeping with the
policy of giving G ranee and Bel-
gian the first call on liutemui-
ties.
In protesting against the
American position, the British
point out that America would
receive about ten times as much
captured tonnage as Great Bri-
tain, if each nation kept its own
seizures.
