PLEA FOR FAIR DEALING.
By the Associated Press.

LONDON. March 4-Prenier Lloyd
George, in addressing the first meet
ing today of the joint committee of
employers and employees constituted
by the industrial parliament last
week, said:
"Civiiiaation. unless We try 10 save
it, may be precipitated and shattered
to atoms. 1t can only be saved by
the triumph of Justice and fair play
TO all classes alike"
The premier warned the committee
that it was the trustee OF the welfare
and safety of the whole nation Tn
employment must be banished, he
said and the workers must never
again be put III dread of the horrors
of distress and hunger.
Let the workers understand. the
premier declared that where there is
an increase of products they Will get
a fair share of it.
Mr.. Lloyd George said that what
was wanted was more confidence and
understanding between employers ard
employees, The employers must never
again say:
You are earning TOO much; your
wages must come down.
The task of supplying the world
with material had fallen to the United
States and England, and possibly ia
pan, the premier continued.
1t was mis- AXE. he said. TO keep
men working longer hours than were
absolutely necessary. but at the same
time foreign competitions and the need
OF productivity for a community Of
$4,000, 600 people must be borne in
mind. He pointed out to the work

Secret Treaty Troubles.


The famous secret treaty Of Lon
don has been the source of all the
difficulties alleged to lie in the way
| OF determining our frontier on TINS
side. Clauses of the treaty are essen
italy contrary not only to the primer
pies of natfons'ities but TO the solemn
declarations subsequently proclalme0
by our great allies.
BY those declarations. by the com
piete change OF the political and mill
tary situation that has since come
aboHt and by tie fact that Serbia ' as
kept in ignorance of the agreements
in which she lis so vitality concerned
that treaty has lost its validity
And so it goes. Claims are met by
counter ella aims from the opposing
side. The line of racial characteristics
is not an easy one upon which TO hx
the frontiers as many of the Balkan
statesmen make it appear. In many
sections of the contested territories
which may be Sla -ic in chara cter,
principally Montenegro. there are an
tipathies against coming under the
Serbian confederation. In other re-
gions. particularly Daimatia, the
strictly coastal sections are largely
Inhabited by Italians, but where this
Italian population ceases and Dalma :
tian. Serbian or Croatian majorities
begin cannot he definitely drawn. The
questions of F'iume. Istria and Triests
! have discussed in previous articles
after personal Investigations.
On the whole there must be applied
some very careful sitting processes,
and this entails much labor and care
full investigation. If all the Balkan
countries were not trying to adjust
their claims by rule OF thumb along
the line of racial demarkatien. and
If they would show more of a concilia-
tory spirit in the settlement of their
problems, the peace conference work
would be greatly facilitated. But, as it
is, such things as they can agree
upon offer little toward the final set
tIement of their own future relations
or those of the world.

S.rbia's Case Well Stated.

Serbia. through her emissaries In
Paris. NJ Pashitch, DR.. Ante Trum- :
bitch and DIR. Vesnitch, who was in
trusted with the special Serbian mis-
sion to the United States after the
American declaration of war, have
laid their case before the peace con-
ference in excellent manner. AS re-
suit the union of Serbia, Croatia and
SIoyenia has been officially recognized
by the United States government as
new state. This embraces practically
the whole of the Jugoslay country,
hut the United States has been very
careful to avoid recognizing Serbia s
claims to the monopolization of Mon =
tenegro; the absorption of the whole
Dalmatian coast, with its important
ports; the Istrian peninsula, with
Trieste and Fiume, and the controversy
as TO the future of Banat of Temesvar,
in dispute between Rumania and
Serbia, remains to be settled.
Wherever there is Slav today the
Serbians seem to be claiming terri
tory in the Balkans. The union of
the Slavic peoples in sympathy with
the Serbians has a goal long striven
for by millions of Balkan peoples, but
that this policy, now that the goal
has been reached, should be extended
to embrace other territories where
there is grave question as to the pre-
ponderanee of Siayic-speaking peo-
pies is a question upon which the
peace conferees are not ready to pass
not, at least, until extensive first
hand Investigations of the counter
claims being registered in Paris are
thoroughly gone into by impartial
authorities

Eastern Adriatic Problem.

Barring possibly Montenegro. where
Serbian attempts to control the coun-
try are being resisted and possibly
will be to the last, the chief difficult
ties in settling Serbia's territorial as
pirations hinge about the eastern
coast of the Adriatic. where. through
the treaty of London. Italy's clai:as
were recognized by the allied goy-
ernments previous to Italy's entrance
into the war. The allied statesmen in
Paris. particularly those of Europe,
are in a quandary and undoubtedly
will thank President Wilson and
members of the American peace dele
CATION if they will assume the respon-
sibility for settling the great prob
lem confronted. And. on the other
steps In it stands chance of becom-
ing the most despised of all by Bal
kan and Italian peoples.
Oae of the best presentation of the
Serbian claims to disputed territory
is that of the Serbian prime minister,
NJ Protich, who said:
The frontiers of IugoslaVia and the
new Serbia determined on the princi-
pies of nationaiities should be west
eriy and northerly. the Adriatic sea
including the Dalmatian coast with
| its islands, the croatian coast and its
islands and F'iume and Istria-
100000 Jugoslavs; $4,000 Italian.
"fn all Dalmatia there are only 49,
| 600 Italians, against 0,600 Jugo
| slays. Fiume. which is separated by
| administrative a decree from Susha k.
| its entirely Jugoslav suburb. has in
deed an Italian majority; but even
| this majority was artifcially created
| consisting as il does now of Italian
| zed Siavs. All the country adjacent
| to Fiume is inhabited entirely by
| croatians. The majority of the pop
| ulation of Istria are likewise Croats
and Slovenes. In the western part of
| Istria the towns and their immediate
| enyirons are all Italian, but the rest
| Of the country is entirely Dalmatian
''In Trieste the majority of the in
| babitants are Italian. On the other
! hand. that city contains certain
strong mlnorities of Jugoslavs and
economically spea king, is completely
| isolated from Italy. Were Trieste
annexed to Italy it eventually would
| lose its commercial and social i'm
| portance. Never at any time has
| Trieste belonged to Italy. l may
even say that It never has desired an
| nexation to that country 1t indeed
would be difficult to justify the in
| corporation of that city into Italy.
And, if for reasons which can never
be considered valid in the eyes of i'm
partial men, the possession of the
City is denied to the Jugosiav king
dom, the just and reasonable course

BALKAN TANG[E BIG
TASK FOR LEAGUE

Racial Claimants.
DEMANDS IN CONFLICT
BY OLIVER OWEN KUHN.
STAFF Correspondent of The Star.

PARIS. February 19.-"It is well
that a league of nations is to be
created. and that it is to have Rfensry
powers" This is remark often heard
in Paris not only among statesmen IN
the peace conference, but among all
students of international affairs as
they discuss the many problems that
have arisen as a result of the eN-
travagant claims which have been
registered by Balkan peoples.
Instead of helping the solution OF
the many Balkan issues. the program
of self definition for all peoples mas
led to sharp conflicts throughout the
whole of the Balkan country. Racial
issues that once were dormant ne
cause of more or less severe reStrlc-
tive measures have broken forth as
long repressed volcano. Rather thah
meet about the council boards IN
Paris in spirit of conciliation, the
representatives of the Balkan ma
tions and those which have interests
in this section of Europe have resort
ed to threats as to what they Will or
