French and British Premiers
Repeat Their Assurance
in Latest Note.
NO Definite PACT
WITHOUT AMERICA
Absence of American Repre-.
tative Made Negotiations
Difficult.

LonHon, Feb. 27.-(A. P.l-The re-
ply made by 7remiers Lloyd George
and Millerand to President Wilson's
latest communication on the Adriatic
question repeats the assurance that
they never had the intention of
making a definite settlement without
obtaining the views of the United
States government"
The reply, which is dated Feb. 26,
states that the absence of an Ameri-
can representative had proved in
practice an almost insurmountahle
obstacle to the success of the nego-
tiatiofs.
The prenniers observe as q fact OF
great Importance that President Wilson
expressed a willingness to accept any
settlement mutually agreeable to
Italy and Jugo- -Slavia regarding their
common frontier In the Fiume region.
provided such agreement is not made
on the basis OF compensation elsewhere
at the. expense Of nationals Of third
power" A
This, the premiers agree. would be
an ideal way of settling the question
and they express willingness to do
their utmost to reach a settlement by
this road. In order to facilitate this
process they are ready to withdraw
their proposals of Dec. 9 and JAM 20.
