NEW YORK, Apri 45.--Americans will continue to eat “white bread’ restored late last year after months of milling on a victory flour basis, despite the return of European countries to a war bread basis as ‘anounced by the supreme food council, Julius Barnes, pres- ident of the food administration's grain corporation and federal wheat director, said today. The survey of wheat stocks, Barnes said, had convinced his de- partment that the American supply was sufficient not only to war- rant continued production of all wheat flour, but to meet the export demand until the next harvest.

AMICABLE S0 SOLUTION TENSION SNAPS WAY OPER IN ITALIAN DISPUTE, [10 acneewent BELIEVED IN MAKING ‘Great Britain and France to Represent Italy if Delegates All Leave Paris; Peace Circles More Optimistic Over Con- troversy; Orlando Is Expected Back (By Associated Prean.) PARIS, April 25.—News- papers here are unamimous in the opinion that the de- parture of Premier Orlando does not constitute a rupture in relations. “It is not adieu,” says the Petit Journal, “but au re- voir.” The Petit Parisien is par- ticularly optimistic saying that “critical tension exists no longer and there are sev- eral forms of compromise possible.” Although Premier Orlando has left Paris with two other members of the Italian delegation to the peace conference, the latest Paris advices do not give the view that the move means a cessation of Italy’s participation in the conference. Italy, if all her delegates leave Paris, will be represented at the conference by Great Britain and F; Trance.

(By United Press.) PARIS, April 25.—Premier Or- \lando, General Diaz and Signor Bar- zilai left for Rome last night. For-| eign Minister Sonnino and probably | the ex-premier of Salandra are going | to Rome tonight. The big three meet- ing scheduled this morning was sud- denly called off. Italian headquarters summoned’ {Japanese Ambassador Matsui this morning. The co-operation of the | Japanese and Italians at this critical time is deeply significant in view of the similarity of their respective claims. While the Japanese delegation re- cently announced that they have no intention of withdrawing from the conference, they are affronted at con- tinued opposition to their annexation of chinese territory wrested from Ger- many and the defeat of the racial equality amendment. Premier Orlando went home to con- sult parliament, which will be con- voked immediately. Allied represen- tatives are confident that Orlando will come back or be replaced by an- other. \ the Italian delegation is withdrawing as a matter of principle owing to President Wilson’s statement Wed- nesday, Anglo-Americans _ still are hopeful that the Italian parliament will aid in the settlement. British delegates refuse to regard | the Italians’ withdrawal as perman- ent. Italy’s economic and financial position does not permit such a step, is their belief. The British are will- ing to stand by the secret pact of London but it does not give Fiume to Italy President Wilson will sign no peace | conflicting with his 14 points.
