Not Change His Plans.

Washington, Nov. 19.-The Wilson
Administration for the rest of its
brief existence will withdraw from
participation In international poll.
tics This decision has been reached
following the overwhelming repudia
tion Of the Administration by the vot
ers OF the country in the election and
was exempllfied today in the decision
reached by the United States Govern
ment relative to the agreement made
by Italy and Jugo-Slaya at the con-
ference at Rapallo.
This arrangement. which disposes
OF the question of Fiume, is regarded
as one OF the latest overthrows of the
international programme insisted up
on by President Wilson at Versailles
In spite of this fact the Administra-
tion will regard the incident as closed
standing upon the Presidents last
note, In which he said he would ac-
cept any programme urged by the two
parties interested which did not in.
fringe upon the rights of third party
presumably Albania
The arrangement reached by Italy
and JugoSlavia calls renewed atten-
tion to the obstinate fight which the
President made against the so-called
imperialistic efforts OF the Italians
and which had in mind the interna-
tionaligation of Fiume under the
League OF Nations.
Under the terms OF the settlement
Fiume remains an Independent state
with both the possibilities and prob
abilities that 1t will become part of
Italy proper at later time The out.
come Is regarded as great victory
for D'Annunzio, who deserted poetry
to become an aviator during the war
and since then has defied the world to
come and take Fiume from him
Whatever chagrin the Administra-
ton NAV fell in this outcome Is con-
cealed by an attitude of silence, the
State Department today combining It.

The Colby note to Baron Romano
