(Canadian Press Despatch) Paris, April 28.--The peace con- ference has 'been severély shaken by the Italian crisis and the extent to which its work will be affeeted is receiving the anxious attention . of the delegates. The American storm has broken and the air has cleared in that quarvier, but in other quart- ers a less optimistic view is taken the feeling being that an element o cfusion has been introduced which will result in more or less de- lay at the moment thé German dele. gites are arriving." In French and Italian circles the situation is regarded as serious and some quarters even represent it us desperate, but this extreme view is not generally held. Several of the committees met to-day with Italian me rs present, and the secretar- fat of .the American delegation sald no notidge had been received of the withd al of the Italian participa- tion. or Pending formal action no hreak _in relation would be assumed, i: was added. - But the departure ot the Italian delegates and the an- nouncement of the departure of Foreign Minister Sonnino and for- mer Minister Salandra to oceur on Saturday, creates an anomalous situation, as it is not known whe- 'ther Italy will be represented at the Plenary session of the conference on Monday, when parts of the treaty, including the league of nations covenant, will be finally passed up- on, ' v Expect Italians Back. {Canadian Press Despatch) Paris, April 26.--Premier Or- Jando and his colleagues will appear before the Italian P ent on nday , aoe 10 the Petit Parisien That tr says: Wi able to affirm that what "We o » ever the 'otitcome of this session of the Italian Parliament, the 'premiuvr and his fellow colleagues will im- mediately start for Paris and that the Italian delegation will be in full strength at Versailles on May 1st."

Perkins de- clared in a statement. Upon his re- turn from France. He has been abroad since December, investigating complaints mude by American sold- fers against the Y.M.C.A. There is growing exidence, he con tinued, that Germany "no longer feels that she was Whipped' and is coming to feel that the war 'was more or less of a draw." The time to have made peace with Germany he said, was 'the very first hour possible after November 11," when her ruling class, military class the populace gefferally.

RED NEPLES T0 BECK and a RALWAY TO BE MANAGED BY BOARD UNDER THE DO- ~~ MINION GOVERNMENT And in the Public Interests--No In- tention to Operate Them Under Sir Adam Beck. f Ottawa, ~ April 26.---Hon. Dr. Reid, Minister of Railways, yester- day issued the following statement in reply to Sir Adan Beck's charge at Guetph Phat the Dominion Gov- ernment was interfering with the Hydro-Electric development of On- tario. "The statethents were made by Sir Adam on account of an observa- tion made by the Hon. Dr. Reid when asked in Parliament as to whit was likely to be done on the improvement of navigation on the St. Lawrence between Kingston and Montreal. At that time the mini- ster sald that in order to = develop navigation so that ocean-going ves- sels codld proceed to Port Arthur, several dams would be required in the St. Lawrence in which Jocks would be made for the vessels. In building these dams about two mil- lion five hundred thousand horde- power would be produced. Of this about six hundred thousand would be international between Ontario and New York State, the balance would be in the provinee of Quebec and all within Canadian territory. "The minister added that it this power were developed, a large portion of it could be used for ope ration of the Grand Trunk Railway, Canadian. National Ralflways and the Canadian Pacific Railway, thus o account of the high price of fae).

DEBATE * BEGANE LIVELY Sir Thomas White And Hon. Rodolphe Lemicax Had a TI. CLOSIRE TO BE PLED THE BILL TO BE PRESSED TO A : _ FINISH. ---- 5 Debate" Between Public and Private Ownership -- The Government Stands Firmy For Public Owner- ship. ' (Canadian Press Despatch) Ottawa, April 26.--Persistent cri- ticism of the Opposition upon the de- Mails of the bilk to incorporate the Canadian National Railway Company during three days of discussion of the measure, culminated last night in a general engagement, with Sir Thomas White on one side and Hon. Rodolpe Lemieux and Hon. Jacques Bureau on the other as leaders. The acting prime minister, dealing with speeches which had been delivered Noy Mr. Lemieux and by D. D. McKenzie, Op- position leader, declared that by those utterances the real issue dividing the House had been revealad, Thal issue, he asserted, was whether public own- ership of railways in Canada was to have a chance for success or whether it was to be "maimed, mutilated and deformed." The bill to ineorporate the company, of which the Dominion of Canada was to be sole sharehqld- er, he said, had been subjected to criticism which would not have been levelled against it had it merely been a charter for a private company. "The real discussion in this cham- ber," declared Sir Thomas, "has been between private railway enterprise and public ownership." The Opposi- tion, he affirmed; stood for private ownership, while the Government was the champion of public owner- ship. Sir Thomas said the question before the House was whether public ownership was to be given a chance for its life or to be strangled in the Hpuse of Commons. The acting pre- imier said Mr. Lemieux was opposed to public ownership, and that all but a corporal's guard on the opposition of the chamber shared his views. Public wnership, however, ad come to danada and had come to stay. It had been the inevitable result of the trend of events. Private owner- ship, and politics had brought ahout the situation. Sir Thomas admitted that both Liberals and Conservatives had been responsible for the out- come, 3 Debate Waxes Warm. Hon. Mr. Lemieux expressed the opinion that the passage of the bill might have the effect of debarring provincial and private organizations from engaging in railway construc- tion. This statement precipitated the debate of the day. It elicited from Dr, Michael Clarke a stiggestion that 'Mr. Lemfeux's point of view was de- termined by his preference for private ownership. A dissertation upon the latest possibilities of Western Can- ada was a declaration that the people of Western Canada required railways to aid them in the development of those possibilities. It led to a briet but heated colloquy between Dr. Clarke, Western Canada's Liberal, and D. D. McKenzie, leader of the Liberal Opposition. ; To Sir Thomas White, M#, Lemieux replied with spirit. He told the House that he had spnly argued that the Government uld not take for it- self the blanket charter for railways it had not means to construct, and prevent the western provinces or pri- vate corporations from building rail- wayf where needed. He was not, he asserted an advocate or champion of private interests against public inter- ests. He believed the Government's policy was & dangerous policy. Non-Contentious Clanses Passed. At ten minutes of three o'clock this morning, after a three dave' strenuous discussion on the bill, all non-contentious clauses were ous clauses was removed by Hon. Ar- thur Meighen.
