Paris. May 1.-The town of Volp-
ma. which President Wilson said
should belong to Italy in his memo
randum to Premier Orlando, is not
on the Dalmatian coast, but is an
Albanian port now occupied by
Italians. The Albanian delegation
here is much exercised over this
recommendation and say that a
seizure of Nolpna by Italy would
start movement which would
threaten the dismemberment of
Albania.
Premier Venizelos has based on
Italy's possession of Volpna a claim
on the Albanian islands for Greece,
and the Serbians, by this action, are
making proposals which are said to
be threatening Albania's existence.
The text of the memorandum
handed to Premier Orlando of Italy
by President Wilson on April IA
was made public at Paris on Tues
day night. Relative to Italian
claims on the eastern shore of the
Adriatic. President Wilson, among
other thiDSs, said:
II believe there will be common
agreement that the island of Lissa
(thirty- three miles southwest of the
Port OF Spalato, Dalmatia) should
be ceded to Italy and that she
should retain the port of Volpna."
