Foreign Press

This article presents information from the newspapers published from countries other than the U.S. as of April 19, 1919. J.L. Garvin writes in a paper on "The Paris Conference: The Last Phase" in the London "Observer" that no political lunatic is so distempered as to suppose that Germany can pay the whole cost of the First World War or for that purpose, can be kept in a state of tribute and steerage for fifty or a hundred years. A 5000-word résumé of the Memorandum published in the Italian newspaper "Giornale d'Italia" of March 13, 1919, begins by explaining that the Italian claims are based on justice and moderation. Italy went to the war with two aims: the liberation of her oppressed prisoner of wars and the attainment of safe frontiers by land and sea.
