The H, allegedly members ef the underground Stern gang, were convicted by a Haifa military roiifl of staging the night raid several weeks ago.

Some Jews declarcd~“the Stern gang \von't let l-t pass" and ex- pressed fear the underground may Sllikt’ in attempts to free the rtiilti-‘mncd men or avenge them if they are hanged. Their sen- t i must be reviewed by the B: iSll high command. Another rumor said thousands of Jews may ilnue a hunger strike in protest.

Tile sentenciot. plus a Jcwl-sh niui-t-o-operation .strike scheduled for Sunday. and reports that hun- rirntis more illegal immigrants had reached the Palestine coast, with some escaping ashore, heightened general nervousness in Palestine.

One highly-placed Jew asserted that “whatever happens, those boys are already heroes in the eye of the great mass of Jewish youths.

"If they are hanged they will be martyrs, and you can count on hundreds of young boys immed- lately turning to the violent ele- narni to avenge them."

There was speculation that the S.‘ ru group might follow the ex- hlllple of another underground gi-iltp, the Irgun Zvai Loumi. and it-tinap hostaes-probabiy on a man-for-man bssis.

Danatia Not - In Favor 0f Harsh Treaty

(By Ross Munro. Canadian Press Staff Write

PARIS. Aug. l6—(CP Cable)— Italian Premier Alcide de Gaspcri today presented his country's case for s more lenient peace treaty to Prime Minister Mackenzie King

in a private interview at the Crillon Hotel. De Gas-perl explained in detail

Italy's position and viewpoint and elaborated on his speech before the plenary session of the mace conference last Friday.

With Mr. King were Mai-Gen. Georges P. Vanier, Canadian Am- bassador to France, and Nornran Robertson, Under-Secretary fc-r External Affairs. The Canadians made no statement on the meet- ing but it is known the delegazien tends to question some clauses of the draft treaty with Italy.

Canada takes the general posi- tion that the treaty should uct be so harsh as to cripple Italy for years to come and prevent her from taking a place in the Eul- opean economy. Canada ilso is interested i-n trading with Italy.

Other developments invol '..g members of the Canadian lelcgc- tion saw Health Minister Claxton clcctcd chairman of the legal and drafting commission of the 21- power gathering.

During the morning several Canadian delegates sat in at var- ious timcs on tihe Romanian treaty commission but they tilci not share in the dispute aroused by the question of whether France should participate fully.

Dana Wilgress, Canadian Am- bassador to Russia and a men-i- ber of the Canadian delegation, nominated ~Dmltr=i Manuilsky of the Ukrainian Soviet; Reptiblic as chairman of the Romanian politi- ral and territorial committee. The Ukrainian delegate was unani- itiously elected,
