HAVAS REVIEW.

PARIS, December

A Havas message states French circles state that Italy has signified her willingness to raw in her lot with England and France in settling the Turkish que HD accordance with the Anglo-French desireretura dia tak

the Fiume question. Concerning Yugo Slaria, all dealings will be through the Paris Conference, Italy not agreeing to the proposal of a conference with Yugo Slavia..

At the opening session of the Conseil General, the Minister of the Interior stated that the rumours of socal revolution in France are not disquieting and must not be confused with Bolshevism which is a return to primeval savagery. There was not the slightest danger of the Bolshevists obtaining a footing in France where the era of violent revolution is closed.

The date of the election of the President of the French Republic was definitely fixed for January 17. So far, no candidate seems likely to contest the claims of M. Clemences.

Details of the great "Marche du monde" or "Rendezvous of Buyers of the World, which is to be set up in Paris in two years" time are given The building will be a six storied one with a frontage of 350 feet, costing approximately one hundred million francs and will accommodate a floating population of manufacturers, producers, merchants and buyers with their employers, exceeding 30,000 people.
