clea- that the presidents action III
making his statement as to Italy $
claim to Fiume had made it impossible
either to accept or reject any proposals
that might be made. lie said he be-
lived it his duty to come at once before

benefit for others or dignity for Italy,
but said ! would communicate with rep

which Italy was bound by special agree

President Wilson showed great re-
gret for such hypothesis, adding he
would do everything possible to pre-

statements addressed to the sentiment
and will Of peoples in general, and
therefore TO the Italian people, the full
authority and therefore the prestige of
the Italian delegates was doubted just
in the grave and decisive hour when

Italy at the peace conference and the
Justice OF her demands, the premier
continued
