JUSTICE RATHER

lin Dealings of Nations Says
President to Allies
ON ADRIATIC QUESTION
President Wilson Says That II Nations
Want U. s. Aid They Must
Accept U. 8. Ideals

! Washington, Feb. 26.-President
Wilson has served notice to the world
that the cont nuance OF the United
States in the deliberations OF the
Power has for its price the adher-
ence OF the Entente Government o
principles of equity and justice rather
than Of tempo. airy advantage or
expediency. That is the essenc OF
his two latest notes to the Premiers
Of Great Britain and France, made
public tonight along with all of the
recent correspondence dealing with
the future of F.ume and the adjacent
Adriatic territory.
Taking the situation created in
southeastern Europe as the conven-
lent and vivid sexample, the cor e.
spondence addressed to the Powers of
Great Brita and France reveals the
Pres dents state of mind as un-
changed with regard to the principle
Of self-determination since he first
drafted it into the fourteen cardinal
points.
The complete text of the Adr'atic
cor. espondence scloses the fact that
the President has denounced the
agreement effected without consulting
the United States, between the Brit
ish and French as to the disposition
of Fiume and neighboring territory
because it does not square with his
pr nciples and has threatened to W tn
draw the German treaty and the
separate Franco-American alliance
{ ON the Senate II that agreement Is
pressed upon Jugo- Slavia.
The suggestion is conveyed in the
latest note Of the President received
today in London and Paris that the
Powers constituting the council of the
League of Nations m 'ght serve as
arbitrators or judges OF possible dual
agreement between Italy and Jugo
Slavia, but the suggestion is not put
forward in definite language. He Of
fers no substitute solution for the
Adriatic puzzle, but insists that any
adjustment, which Italy and Jugo-
Slav a themselves may agree upon will
be acceptable to the United States
provided that such an ag cement is
not made on the basis of compensation
elsewhere at the expense of nationals
of a third Power"
