tween the Poles Of this block and the
Baltic there is narrow facade of Ger
man population stretching from K0nigs-
berg to Danzig, a population of perhaps
2,5OO,0 900 Tcutons and more German
than all other Germans. If this popua-
ton was surrendered to Poland there
was bound to be protest on the part
of Germany that the self-determination
of these people had been prevented. On
the other hand, if Poland were denied
her outlet to the sea through Danzig,
which was once her sea gate, she would

many The third possibility, the crca-
ton of corridor between Danzig and
Bromberg, on the left bank of the Wis

since it gave to Poland an ndefersible
strip of territory separating two masses
of German population and restored the
conditions which had led to the first
partition
After many long debates the Allies
have, it appears, taken the bull by the
horns and accepted the only logical solu-
ton. West Prussia and East Prussia

this clash has supplied one Of the most
difficult questions Of the whole confer
cnCe
These difficulties were enhanced by
the fact that at the moment when Italy
entered the war the French and British
governments had guaranteed to Italy
not only the possession of Trieste, with
the Slav hinterand but also the posses
sion of the northern half of Dalmatia,
and most of the Adriatic islands, What
ever may be the justice of the Italian
claims as to lstria, there is no installing
the fact that the great mass of the peo-
pie OF Dalmatia are not merely Slav, but
determined to become part of the new
Jugo-Slavic state.

AT the present moment the problem

for the wholly Italian town of Fiume.
