PRESIDENT WILSON'S STATEMENT
UPON ITALIAN CONTROVERSY

to the settlement of Europe in those
quarters that we have applied in the
peace with Germany.
1T was upon the explicit avowal of
those principles that the initiative
for peace was taken. 1t is upon them
that the whole structure OF peace must
rest.
d. IF those principles are to be ad-
hered to, Fiume must serve as the
outlet Of the commerce, not of Italy,
but of the land to the north and
; northeast OF that port-Hungary, Bo.
hemia, Rumania and the states of the
new JugO-Slav group. To assign
Fiume to Italy would be to create the
feeling that we have deliberately put
the port upon which all those coun-
tries chiefly depend for their access
to the Mediterranean -, sea in the
hands of a power OF which it did not
form an integral part and whose SOW.
ereignty. if set up there, must newt
ably seem foreign, not domestic or
identified with the commercial and
industrial life of the regions which
the port must serve It is for that
reason, no doubt, that Fiume was not
included in the pact of London, but
there definitely assigned to the Croa.
tians
Designed to Safeguard Italy.
"And the, reason why the line of
the pact of London swept about
many of the islands of the eastern
coast of the Adriatic and around the
portion of the Dalmatian coast which
lies most open to that sea was not
only that here and there on those ISL
.ands 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 a foothold amidst the channels
Of the eastern Adriatic in order that
she might make her own coasts safe
aaginst the naval aggression of Aus
tria-Hungary.
But Austria-Hungary no longer
exists. 1t is proposed that the forti-
fications which the Austrian govern
ment constructed there shall be razed
and peramenntly destroyed. ...
1T is part also of the new plan
Of the 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 thes question.
There can be no fear of the unfair
treatment of groups of Italian peo-
pie there, because adequate guaran-
tees will be given under international
sanction, OF the equal and equitable
treatment OF all racial or national
minorities.
"In brief, every question associated
with this settlement wearsTa new
aspect-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 be
come one of the chief trustees of the
new order which she has played so
honorable a part in establishing.

is involved in their settlement, l hope
that the following statement will con

Circumstances Altered.
when Italy entered the war she
: entered upon the basis of definite
private understanding with Great
Britain and France, now known as

struggle, with no knowledge of that
private understanding.
THE Austro-Hungarian empire

whose expense the pact of London
was to be kept in the event of vic
