Continued from Page Onel he settlement of EA.ope, in tnose . quarters that We have applied in the peace tslth Germany.
 "lt was upon the explicit avowal of those principles that the initiative for peace was taken. It is upon them that the whole structure of peace must rest. 1 "If those principles are to be adhered to, Plume must serve as the outlet of the commerce, not of Italy. but of the land to the north and northeast of that port, Hungary, Bohemia. Rumania, and the states of the New JugoS SlaV group. To assign iume to Italy would toe 10 create the feeling that we have deliberately put the port upon which all those countries chiefly depend for their access to the Mediterranean in the hands of power of which it did not form an integral part, and whose sov- creignty, if set up there, must inevi- tably seem foreign, not domestic nor identified with the commercial and in- dustrial life of the regions which the port must serve. It is for that reason. no doubt that Plume was not included in the pact of London. but was defi- nitely assigned to the 'Croatians.
 He Gives His Reasons
 FAllu tue TtStSOH WHy tue ililt OI tue pact of London swept about many of Inc islands, of the eastern coast of the Adriatic, and around the portion of the Dalrnatian coast which lies most open 10 that sea, was not only that here and there on those islands and here and there on that coast, there are bodies of people of Italian blood and connection but also. and no doubt chiefly, because it was felt that it was necessary for Italy to have @ foothold amidst the channels Of the eastern Adriatic, in or der that she might make her own coasts against the naval aggression of Austria Hungary.
 But Austria Hungary no longer ex- fsts. it is proposed that the fortifica- tons which the Austrian government constructed there shall be razed and permanently destroyed.
 "lt is part also of the new plan of European order which centers in the league of nations. that the new states erected there shall accept a limitation of armaments, which puts aggression out of the question. There can be no fear of the unfair treatment of groups Of Italian people there, because ade- quate guarantees will be given, under international sanction. of the equal and equitable treatment of all racial or naDOnal Tn1norItleS-
 Tn brief, every question associated with this settlement wears new as pect-a new aspect given it by the very victory for right for which Italy has made the supreme sacrifice of blood and treasure Italy along with the four other great powers. has become one of the chief trustees of the new order which she has played so honorable a part in establishing.
 Italy We'll Treated
 'On the north and northeast. her nat ural frontiers are completely restored, along with the whole sweep of the Alps from northwest to southeast, to the very end of the Istrian peninsula, in cludiug all the great watershed within which Triest and Pola lie, and all the fair regions whose face nature has turned toward the great peninsula upon which the historic life of the Latin people has been worked out through centuries of famous story, ever since Rome was first set upon her seven hills. Her ancient unity is restored. Her lines are extended to the great walls which are her natural defense lt is within her choice to be surrounded by friends: to exhibit to the newly liberated peoples across the Adriatic hat noblest quality of greatness, mag ranimity. friendly generosity, the pref crence of justice over interest.
 The nations associated with her. the nations that know nothing of the pact of London. or of any other special un- derstanding that lies at the beginning of this great struggle. and who have made their supreme sacrifice, also, in he interest, not of national advantage of defense, but of the settled peace of he world, are now united with her old er associates in urging her to assume a leadership which cannot be mistaken Il the new order of Europe
 America is ItaIy's Friend
 America is Italy's friend. Her people are drawn millions strong from Italy's own fair countryside. She is linked n blood as well as in affection, with he Italian people. Such ties cannot be broken. And America was privileged ny the generous commission of her as- sociates in the war, to initiate the peace we are about to consummate- To initiate it upon terms which she hao herself formulated and in which I was her spokesman.
 The compulsion is upon her tC square every decision she takes . par m with those principles. She can dC nothing else. She trusts Italy, and 1T her trust believes that Iatly will asl nothing of her that cannot be made un. nistakably consistent with thos, sacred obligations.
 The interests are not now in Ques. ton, but the rights of peoples of states new and old, of liberated peoples anC peoples whose rulers have never ac counted them worthy of a right; abov, all, the right of the world to peace anC to such settltments of interest as shal make peace secure.
 These, and these only, are the prin. ciDles for which America has fought These, and these only, are the prin. ciples upon which she can consent tC make peace. only upon these prin. ciples, she hopes and believes, will tht people of Italy ask her to make peace.
