 was to have certain territory, the lines for some of which were to be left for negotiation
 The city of Valonia and such hinter- land strictly necessary to defense and economic development were granted to Italy in full sovereignty.
 These provisions were described in the memorandum as sffording to Italy full satisfaction Of her historic na- tional aspirations" uniting the Italian race and as giving her absolute strat- egic control of the Adriatic."
 The conference declared they had carried their concern for Italian SC curity to the point of neutraliZlng the Dalmatian islands and adjacent waters from the northern border of the Ra- gusa region to Fiume." Italy, how ever, had asked for control of Ir:e utp- lomatic relations Of Zara. Association of the city of Plume from the free state of Plume, connection of the city of Plume to Ist-ia by corridor and annexation to Italy of the island of Lagosta.
 This plan the conferees characteriz- ed as counter to every consideration of geography. economics and territori- al convenience.
 The new agreement between Great Britain. France and Italy, dated Jan uary 14, 1920, which President Wilson construed as having been arrived at without participation of the United States, provided in substance:
 Plume ss an independent state. free in it's own diplomacy Suzak toI go to Serb-Croat .Slovene state with railroads and terminals to goI to the league. The free state Of tho previous proposals was to disappear and the boundary between Italy and the Serb-Croat- -Slovene state was to be redrawn to provide for the pre-. viously discussed corridor.
 "The Wilson line" in the region of Senosecchia, was to be redrawn 10 provide for the protection oi Trieste" This, the agreement de clared will leave in the Serb-Croat- Siovene state purely Jugo-Slav dis tricts. Zara was to be an independ- ent state under the lesaue. Valonn was to be retained by Italy as pIp vided in the treaty of London and Italy was to take a mandate over Al bania, whose northern boundaries were to be readiusted and whose | southern boundaries were to be re- | arranged to give Greece Koritza and | Argyrokastron. The island groups Of Lussin. Lissaa nd Pelagosa were to | be assigned to Italy and the remaind- | der were to go to the Serb-Croat- Slo 1 yene state. All Adriatic islands were 10 be demiiitarized and there were | tO be special provisions to permit | Italians in Dalmatia to chose Italian ] nationality
 President Wilson's note of Jan
 uary 1o in protest to thes. ar
 judgements zsked whether it | was ''the intention of the Brit
 isl and French governments in
 the future to dispose of the vari-
 ous questions pending in Europe
 and 70 communicate the results
 to the government of the United States,' adding that Clemenceau
 and Lloyd George must realize
 there were features in the pro-
 posed Fiume settlement which
 could not be acceptable. to this government.
 Lloyd George and Clemenceau, re- plying under date of January g, dis claimed any intention of making definite settlement without tha view of the United States but had taken il | up at the point at. which it was left when Undersecretary Polk returned | to Washington They replied they | felt practically every important point of the joint memorandum of December 9 remained untouched" and added that "only two features undergo alterations and both these are 10 the advantage of Jugo Slavia." The British and French premiers ar. sued that the disappearance of the I free state of Plume would reunite 100000 Jugo Slavs with their father land and that Albanian settlement | was such as to afford satisfaction ''to the necessary requirements o all parties concerned"
 They characterized it as fair settlement of difficult and dan gerous question and "that in tae
 event of it's not being accepted they will be driven to support the
 enforcement of the treaty of Lon don, which is satisfactory to mo-
 body"
 Both premiers disclaimed any in tent to show the slightest discour- tesy to the United States or that they wished to conceal their action in any way"
 As President Wilson was not at the conference, they said, they thought it he best plan to pro ceed with the negotiations and communicate the result to the
 United States.
 President Wilson's reply of Feb ruary 10 said he could not believe that solution containing provisions which already had received the we'll merited condemnation of the French and British governments (referring to the settlement of December 9) can in any sense be regarded as right" He could not agree that the rnem- Orandum of January IA left untouch- cd practically every important point as argued by the British and French premiers and declared his opinion that tho original proposal had been profoundly altered to the advantage of improper Italian objectives to the
