vices from Paris received to-day at
the White House. 1t was stated that
Wilson's action was endorsed every
where Just what developments
were taking place was not disclosed,
but it was evident that as a result OF
the message the tension which pre-
vailed in administration quarters for
the past three days was considerably
relaxed Secretary Lane issued a
brief statement explaining, as he said,
certain matters concerning the
Fiume situation that should not be
overlooked
He said partly: Plume was not TO
be given Italy by the secret London
treaty. Under this, Fiume was to go
10 Croatia, which is now part of
Jugo-Slavia And this is where Viii
son wishes Il TO go now The ques.
ion CT giving Fiume to Italy thus be-
comes one of good judgement and
Wilson and premiers Lloyd-George
and Clemenceau unitedly concluded
to give Fiume to Italy would be un-
just to the new republics of the east
Adriatic. The Italian claim is based
en- Italian desire.
