WILSON AND FIUME.
< *■- ——» ■ ■ ■■ REASONS FOR THE MANIFESTO DEADLOCK IN THE COUNCIL. SAAR VALLEY CONTRAST. (Received 11.45 a.m.) PARIS, May 9. There is a good deal of speculation as to what led President Wilson to act suddenly with reference to Fiumc. One version is that he informed M. t'lemcuccau and Mr Lloyd George on Sunday of the contents of his manifesto, but agreed, after consultation, to withhold it, and that later his colleagues announced a deadlock and he then published the document. Another version is that Mr Wilson learned of some overt act contemplated by the Italians with reference to tho nature of the annexation of Fiumc, and ho acted on this. His attitude over Fiumc raises the query of how he can reconcile it with bis agreement to yield the Saar Valley to France. American circles report that jMr Wilson will probably shortly state I bis reasons for this, which he is likely to defend on the ground that it was necessary reparation to France for enemy destruction of her coal mines.— (A. and N.Z. tabic.)
