feated. That is hand writing Of inexor-
able fact to heaten nations, stricken and

New-York tribune., 1918-12-22
ID oundaries and the
~ Case of Dalnatia

I have sufficiently indicated the
Czecho-Slovak problems for Versailles.
The Germans will seek to have excluded
from the new state the border regions
in which the German-speaking element
predominates, both in Bohemia and Aus
trian Silesia, but this would, in the main.
be to destroy all the natural frontiers
of the new state and, save perhaps in
the Silesan quarter, little is to be ex-
pected for the Germans. Unquestion-
ably, the Great Powers also will have
to fix the line between the new nation
and Hungary, but here the ethnographic
map is sure and safe guide, although
fatal to Magyar claims
1t remains now to discuss the one rea9-
ly'serious problem, that of the new Jugo-
Slavia. The boundaries between the
Slavs and the Germans and Hungarians
to the north can be drawn with little DIFF
ficulty. In the main the great Draw
River supplies an admirable frontier
from the Alps to the Danube. although
to the east the Serb claims in Temesvar
must be considered. To the south, both
in the case of Bulgaria and of Greece
the frontiers have been fixed by treaty
and will hardly be greatly changed, de-
spite Bulgar claims. The same is true
in the case of Albania, although the
Serb claim to Scutari and the Drn val
ley will have hearing, as it should.
But when it comes to Dalmatia the
real difficulty begins. By an agreement
made in London during the war the
Slavs and Italians divided Dalmatla
nearly, but not quite, IN half, the Ital-
ians taking the northern half, but leav-
ing to the Jugo-Slavs number of ports.
including Cattaro, Ragusa, Greyosa and
Fiume, which is not in Dalmatia. This
agreement was satisfactory to neither
side. Dalmatia is in its history Italian
and Roman and in its language and
population Slav. Of its 66U,0O0 inhabi.
tants not 10 per cent are Italians, and
the Overwhelming demand OF ITS people
is to become a part Of the new Slav
state.
New-York tribune., 1918-12-22
4 Race Unified
~ in Brief Time

Nor is the work quite complete. In
various adjoining Hungarian districts
the population is largely Rumanian, and
Rumanian patriots hope to obtain st
Versailles Endorsement Of their claims
upon most, If not all, Of the Banat Of
Temesvar, small portion Of which
should rightfully go to the new Jugo-
Slavia. My impression is that there is
no conflict between the Slavs and the
Rumanians over the Banat, their re-
spective spheres having been agreed
unon. but there is the violent opposition
of the Hungarians, who have held Tenn
esvar for several centuries, and rest
their claim upon possession, not upon
self determination.
Under our eyes, then, and in less than
+,,,o Months there has taken place the
,,r;fcation of race occupying terri
tory equal to that OF the mainland OF
italy, land fertile and rich in OIL and
coal This nation, with natural IRON
New-York tribune., 1918-12-22

all the western powers to an unlimited
extent
1t remains now briefly to recapituIate
the problems which have arisen out of
the creation Of these three new nations,
problems which will occupy much atten
ton at Versailles and, unless properly
settled, may be the cause of future wars.
With respect to Ruman:a the difficulties
are relatively insignificant The Ru-
thenians to the northeast lay claim to
q portion Of Bukovina, basing their
claim upon the fact that the inhabitants
of this region are Slav. Between Ru-
mania and Hungary there IS q grave
difference Of opinion as to where the
frontiers should be drawn. The Ruma-
mans claim most Of the Temesvar and
many countries north of Translvania,
basing their claims upon the ethnograph-
ic map. AS these claims are unmistak-
able, it is far from impossible that Ru-
mania will receive a substantial addition
of territory at Versailles, but it viii be IN
accordance with justice and viii leave M
injustice to foment future disturbance
BY contrast, Bulgaria VIII certainly ask
the return of the Silistria strip, taken by
Rumania in 1913 and inhabited by Bul-
gars. Some small surrender in this quar-
ter may be asked of Rumania, but her old
