Paris. Jan. 22.-Italy will demand
of France and England the carrying
out of the treaty OF London only
when all other means of settling the
Adriatic question have been tried and
found futile, according to statement
made by Premier Nitti to represen-
tatiye of the Echo de Paris. The cor
respondent accompanied the Italian
premier from this ctf to Nice, and
was told by Signor Nitti that his trip
to Rome was brought about solely by
the railroad strike in Italy.
The reply OF the JugO-Slav govern
ment to the note Of the supreme coun-
ell relative to conflicting claims on
the eastern shores OF the Adriatic
does not satisfy us the premier Is
quoted as saying. but We have gone
to the extreme limit in making con
cessions. The world should realize
that for the sake OF Fiume we re
nounce Dallnatia which was given US
