WILSON WILL NOT ACCEPT
TREATY OF LONDON As BASIS
OF ADRIATIC AGREEMENT

Washington. Feb. 27-What ap-
pcared to be at least a semi official
summary of the premiers' note was
received in press dispatches from
London only n short time after the
official text had reached the state
department and before il had been
laid before the president.
Tho state department already had
taken up with London the question
of making tho note public here and
it was assumed that it would be
given out after the president had
studied 1t. The other exchanges
were made public yesterday. but it
developed during the day that the
British government was planning to
give the press along with the notes
some communications the premiers
had had after December 9 with the
Italian and Jugo.Slav governments.
which had not been sent to the Am
erican government.
1t was noted from the summary of
the premicrs' note as transmitted in
the press dispatches that Great
Britain and France had not agreed
to the withdrawal Of the treaty Of
London holding to its terms as a last
resort should all efforts at voluntary
agreement fail.
President Wilson has made it clear
that he cannot accept the treaty of
London as u basis for settlement.
In fact he has stated with 4 degree
OF tinality that the agreement Of
December embodies the limits to
which the American government is
willing to go.
Under the premiers' proposal. how.
ever. no effort would be made to
-carry out the terms Of the treaty
until another attempt had been mace
by the United States, Great Britain
and France to arrive at a settlement,
should the proposed negotiations be-
tween Italy and Jugo. Slavia come to
naught.
The premiers' agreement with
President Wilson's views with re.
gard to the future of the Albanian
people was received with satisfac-
ton in Albanian quarters here.
Constantine Checkrez. the Official
Albanian representative previously
had issued a statement stating the
entire Albanian nation was pro-
