PARIS, May Earnest attempts are
being made IN various quarters TO find
solution for the Adriatic problem
which would give the Jugo- -Slavs a
port that could serve the main rail-
way lines into Croatia and at the
same time leave F'iumc to Italy. The
Temps has suggested that the port of
Zeng. about thirty miles south of
Fiume, might be developed to meet
the needs of the Jugo- Slavs. Zene,
however, would require a costly har-
Dor works to be of any use, and It
is about sixty miles from the railway
lines.
The French engineer Quellenec in a
letter to the Temps suggests the Bay
OF Buccari, which opens actually into
the Gulf OF Fiume and is touched by
the railway from Fiume TO Agram
The bay is natural harbor we'll pro-
tected, with five to six fathoms Of
water. The shore is suitable for the
construction Of quays. However, a So
luton which would place upon the
shoulders OF the young state the bur-
den of developing a new port which
could not be an effective substitute for
Fiume for years is unlikely to satisfy
the Jugo-Slavs.
Other possibilities are being examined
In order to find way out Of the dim
Guilty which would not leave standing
ground Of hostility between the two
neishboring nations Suggestions like
these, the Temps says, will show italian
spirit Of good will is at work and honest
attempts are being made to arrive at a
just arrangement.

approval OF the solidarity displayed by
the Chamber OF Deputies AZ the aues-
ton of the immediate future. however,
begins to be discussed Il seems generally
agreed that negotiations will have to be
conducted from Rome before there can
be any return to Paris. Il is said the
position OF England and France causes
no difficulty. and the discussions could be
resumed at once with good hope, Il Is
thought, OF an agreement. The situa-
tion Is different in regard TO President
Wilson. There seems no ground for dis
cussion. Tho Tribund says:
The Italian delegates cannot move
from Rome until the Allies and the as
sociated delegation agree among them
selves to present US with proposal
which has their unanimous consent a
proposal which will constitute itself such
platform as to justify the resumption

The Epocd. which is always in close
touch with Premier Orlando, says:
There is already visible much dlplo-
matte activity not TO reestablsh rela-
tons which were never broken. but to
find platform upon which agreement
may be possible. But IL is natural
that in the meantime the heads of the
Government should not leave Rome and

PANS. May 2.--America has served
final notice on Europe that she will
refuse to provide money for European
reconstruction upon Europe's terms.
The American financial commits
sioners have informed the Allies that
America stands ready TO do what she
can to rehabilitate Europe financially,
but that it must be done in her own
way and on what Americans regard
as a sound basis. Nor will American
money be lent TO Europe in unlimited
quantities.
This position was made clear in re-
jecting the British proposal that the Al
lies collectively should furnish working
capital for Germany, wherewlth to start
that nations economic life again so that
Germany can pay reparations by guar
anteeinS a $1,000. 900. 900 issue OF Ger
man bonds. Under the terms proposed
the burden would have fallen heavily on
the United States and England.
The suggestion was that Germany
should use part OF these bonds soon to
pay reparations. In effect the United
States would have had to furnish the
greater part OF the German working
capital; considerable portion of which
would have been turned over TO the Al
lies as reparation. The American finan-
cial delegates considered this unsound
business and impossible OF ratification in
Congress.
This was the most recent Of various
European propositions 10 get large sums
OF American money for reconstruction
purposes. The Americans take the posi-
ton that Europeans must realize that
reconstruction can come only through
work and economy. not through un-
limited borrowing. The Americans are
especially interested in seeing that the
rev nations of Europe get on their feet.
