AGREE TO VIEWS
Of PRES. WILSON
FRENCH AND BRITISH PREMlERS
ARE WILLING TO REOPEN
FluME QUESTION.
AN AGREEMENT is SOUGHT
"Never Had The Intention Of Making a
Definite Settlement Without OBJ
tanning the Views Of AmerI.
can Government"

Washington-The text Of the note
from the French and British premiers
on the Adriatic question, to which Pres
ident Wilson's reply was delivered In
London, was made public by the State
Department. 1t conforms closely to
the summary cabled from London on
Feb. q. and emphasizes the import
ance attached by the premiers to the
fact that Mr.. Wilson had previously
expressed mis- willingness" to &C
cept settlement arrived at by direct
negotiations between Italy and Jugo-
Slavia.
The premiers' note, after reiterating
that they have never had the inten-
tion of making a definite settlement
of the questions raised without OBJ
tanning the views of tae American
government" adds that the further
explanation Of these views" contained
in the presidents memorandum, "is
for them matter of very great in
terest and importance"
"All the more So" the note contin-
ues, "since it shows that the United
States government does not wish to
disinterest themselves from the gen
ef9l question of peace"
At this point comes the statement
that absence of an American represen-
tative from their deliberations had
proved "an almost unsurmountable OBJ
stacle" to successful adjustment Of
"the legitimate, though conflicting as
pirations of the Italian and Jugo-
Slav peoples"
In expressing agreement that direct
negotiations between those people
would be the ideal way of settling
the question" the premiers said they
were ready to withdraw their settle.
ment proposals of Dec. and Jan. 20,
as they felt that If the two parties
principally concerned, believe that the
various allied and associated powers
are committed to supporting them in
any particular solution 1t will be more
difficult to secure a voucher for
agreement between them"
In accordance with this feeling.
President Wilson was invited to join
the premiers in proposing that the
slate be wiped clean of all previous
settlement proposals and that Italy
and Jugo-Slavia negotiate by mutual
agreement" on that basis. Even
should such negotiations fail OF re-
suits. however, the premiers formally
announced they agreed In advance to
further Joint consideration by the
United States, France and Great Brit
ain with a view to arriving at con-
crete proposals" for settlement.

trial conference will tell President Will

adjourned after having held so sessions
since its first meeting, Dec. /. It's re
port, adopted unanimously will be

mite stand on collective bargaining
the rock on which the first confer
ence came to grief, has been taken.

chinery for adjusting disputes between
employees and employers and asked for
criticisms and suggestions. A mum.
Der of men prominent in public lifey
as well as representatives of capital
and labor, appeared before the con.
ference, while individuals and orEani.
cations, made suggestions in writing.
The final report, the conference
announced, makes some notifications
of the organization suggested In It's
preliminary statement, but leaves in.
tact the national industrial board and
the regional boards of inquiry and
adjustment. The final report also
deals broadly with the general field
Of industrial relations" and under.
takes to prevent industrial disputes
by recommending elimination OF the
causes of disagreement. Plans for
shop organizations to facilitate vol
untary adjustments between capital
and labor are suggested. !
While no attempt was made to deal
comprehensively with the railway
problem because of the recent enact
ment Of the railroad law under which
the carriers will operate under pri-
vate control suggestions we're made
regarding other public utilities.
The report, which contains about
$4,000 words, will be printed for pub
lie distribution.
The conference was composed of II
members, with Secretary Of Labor
Wilson as chairman, and Herbert
Hoover as vice-chairman.
