Show REPORTS ITALY AS CONCEDED VALUABLE ASIA MINOR LANDS By ARTHUR E. MANN. Chicago Tribune Cable, Copyright. ROMK, June 17, via Paris. I am reliably reli-ably informed that the peace conference has given Italy concessions to coal mines In Asia Minor which produce millions of tons every year n nd which aro capable of considerable expansion. PARIS, June L'2. Added importance is attached hero to Mann's dispatch from Rome by reason of the fact that the original, orig-inal, whlrh was filed by telegraph, was suppressed, presumably by tho Italian censor. Mr. Mann forwardod a duplicate of his dispatch by mall to Paris. The revelation of concessions in Asia Minor to Italy is looked upon In Paris as an eleventh-hour resort of the big three, after Italy's threat to withdraw from the conference when her ciaim.-t for Fiume and Lialmatia were denied. (It Is possible thai It was these concessions con-cessions that Orlando winhed to reveal wlw.-ii lie asked t'nr a seen; I session of the Italian chamber before the chamber voted against his government, thus forelnir him out of oiiict-. The hesitancy of the Italian kiiin' in accepting Orlando's resignation as premier may have been due to his knowledge, knowl-edge, of the, premier's accomplishment.) |
