Ro,Ue Says Rejection OF
League by U. S. Means
Loss Of Supremacy

PHILADELPHIA, April 5.-Failure
of the United States to ratify the
league of nations covenant would
cause this country to lose the leader
ship of the Western Hemisphere, L. S.
Rowe, Assistant Secretary Of the
Treasury, declared today in an adj
dress at the University OF Pcnnsy]-
vania
"The fact that the United States
entered the European war free from
all selfish purposes has had profound
effect on Latin-American peoples" DR..
Rowe said. "They have regarded it as
q demonstration of the idealism of the
American people and of their willing
ness to make every sacrifice in fur
terance of those ideals
The United States has entered into
the negotiations at Paris at a time
when she is enjoying the confidence
of the nations of this continent to a
degree which has not existed since the
PRONUNCIATION of the Monroe Doctrine
Upon our national attitude toward the
settlement Will depend in large meas
ure whether this growing feeling of
confidence shall be strengthened or
whether it will be thrown back to the
old feeling OF aloofness and distrust
at is noteworthy fact and one
carrying with it peculiar significance
that without exception the people of
Central and South America are eager
to join the league, and we must not
flatter ourselves that they will blind
ly follow the leadership of the United
States in case our decision is adverse
to the league.
"In short, if the United States fails
to support the idea Of league of ma
tons she will thereby not only in
dulge in fruitlcss attempt to isolate
herself from Europe, but will also lose
her position of leadership

lister without portfolio in the Italian
Cabinet, one of the Italian peace dele
gates, said to-day:

Italian people"

of Austria and before the entry of
Italian troops into the city of Fiume
that city had appointed National
Council, composed Of 800 Of it's most
prominent citizens. This council, he
said, had called upon the public to de-
eide what form Of government was de-
sired, the answer being a plebiscite in
favor Of annexation to Italy. On
Wednesday, he said, the National
Council had unanimously passed a law
by which the city took the Italian
flag as the banner OF the city.
Follows Peoples Wish
Signor Barzilai said that this was
the beet proof Of Fumes wishes to
be Joined to Italy, under the Wilson
ian policy Of elf-determination, and
added chat the Italian people and
Parliament, without distinction of
party, were determined that Fiume
should be part of the kingdom.
