London,
Sept.2lst.--The
Government’s
arrangements
to meet
the
strike
emer-
gency
have
been
completed
with
the
greatest
rapidity.
Already
supplies
of
patrols have
been rationed
and distributed
to prevent
the stoppage
of motor
trans-
port,
upon
which the nation
may have
to
depend
largely
for food and
other
neces-
saries.
One of
he
most
serious
featvres
of
the strike
is
that
some
of
the
most
important
manufacturing
centres
have
only a few days supply of coal.
and
may
be forced
to shut
down
their works.
London,
Sept
28th.—The
Coal
Con-
troller has
issued
orders
stopping
all
for-
eign
shipments
of
coal
at
Cardiff.
His
object
is
to
conserve
all
coal for
use
in
this country.

Rome, Sept.
27th.—Italy
must
remain

Signor
Tittoni in the course
of his
speech
today
in the Chamber
dealing with thesituation
growing
out of
the
Finme
incident,
in
which he offered to
resign
in
favour
of
any member
who believed
ne
could
han-
dle
the
problem
better.
The
Foreign
Minister had
gone
over
the
course
of the
peace
negotiatic
ns at Paris,
paying
par-
ticular attention
to the statt
s of President
Wilson in
the activities,
and pointing out
that
the
[talian
delegates
had
to
adopt
an attitude
of compromise,
because
while
France
and
Great
Britain
had
assured
Italy ot their
support,
they
had
avoid-
ed
going
beyond
the
pcint
in
which
they
would
have
come
into
conflict
with
President
Wilson.
"I'he
®Foreign
Minister
went
on,
‘I
should
be
a
traitor
if

did
not
recommend
the
avoidance
ofa
eourse
which
would
put
[taly
into open
opposition

which
would
mean
Italy’s
abandonment
of
the

with
the
loss
of

the
advan'ages
coming
from
tne Peace
Treaty
with our complete
isolation,
with
the
renuncialion
of
our
position
as
a great
power
and
the
com-
mitting of
a
folly of
which
w 2 would
soon
repent.
If anyone
will rvise in
the
Chamber
who is confident
ke could attain
hetter conditions,
I am veady
to cede
my
place immediately
in
the in:erosts
of the
country,
thanking

for

relief
from
the heavy
burden.
It is indisputa-
ble
that Itaiy must
be
united
in
accord
with her allies.
The allian :e tormed for
the war must
necessarily
cotinue during
the
peace.
Speaking
of
i aly’s former
enemies,
the Foreign
Minis:er said,
*‘We
wish
a democratic
revolution
to
oceur in
Germany
to
obliterate
any
remains
of
Prussian
militarism
We wish
Hungary
and
Bulgaria to become

Europe,
while as
for Austria,
now
that
we
have
reached
the tops of the
Alps,
our natural
frontier,
we consider
the
Austrians
as
brothers’’.

that

is
doomed
to
failure.
The
Daily
Mail
is
one
of tnese.
It justifies
its
prediction
by saying
that
the
strike
leaders
have
greatly underrated
the magnitude
of t
o
Govt’s.
preparations
to maintain
the food
,supply.
It adds
that
the
rank
and
file
of the railwaymen
have
not
their
heart
in the strike while
another
factor
of de-
cisive
importance
is that
‘‘The public
is
dead
against
the strike’’.
