APPEAL
TRACED TO ITALY
Official Here Explains that

Formed BY Military.

The appeal Of the National coun-
ell OF Fiume to the United States
senate for the right OF seif-determi-
nation Is an appeal by a body ap-
pointed entirely by the Italian mfli-
tary authorities, who took control
OF the city last November.
This was the statement yesterday

There Is also a Jugo- -Siavs Coun-
ell in Fiume. which was formed long
before the present selfstyied Ma
tional Council When the Austrian
empire was finally crushed, the
Jugo-Slav council was organized In
Fiume, and II was not until Novem-
Der IL. 1918. that the Italians
formed a council. 1t was the handi-
work of the Italian military author
tiles who entered the city ON that
day. At first il was known as the
italian National Council but later
1t styled itself the National Coun-
Gill; The Jugo-Slavs had assumed
the government of the city on oc-
tober 80, and the present appeal
would indicate they had NO voice
in it."
The entire Fiume controversy ai
the Peace Conference, which has
been dormant now several weeks
may be reopened by the appeal OF
the Italians for the right OF self
determination, according to views
expressed in diplomatic circles here
