WILSON EXPLAINS HIS
POSITION ON FIUME
(By Associated Press)

Paris, April 23-President Will
son, in a statement today explain
ing his position on the Adriatic
question, declares that Fiume can
not become part of Italy and
points out that every condition
concerning the Adriatic settle
ment has been changed since It
ally entered the war, upon prom
ises of the pact Of London, the
Austro-H Hungarian empire having
disappeared.
He notes that new states have
been created for which Fiume is
teh natural outlet to the sea.
The President also contends
that the strategic necessity of the
pledge in behalf of Italy's claim
to the Dalmatian islands no long
er prevails, as the Austrian naval
menace has ceased to exist.
