Press Split on Attitude
Toward United States

London. Feb. T9.-Press opinion on
President Wilson's Adriatic note has
veered again today. Newspapers
pointed out Wilson cannot expect to
dictate European policies unless he
carries out the responsibilities he un-
dertook at Paris.
In every quarter there were indica-
tons that the government and the
public are awaiting with anxiety the
reaction in the American capital to
the allied communication. News
papers demanded publication, declar-
ing the situation was of such delicacy
that the people were entitled to know
every move.
I Americas claim to dictate the
form of settlements in which she re-
fuses to cooperate in giving prac-
tical security cannot fail to provoke
resentment" the Pail Mall Gazette
asserted
The Evening Standard thought
President Wilson may be justified
in Intervention" but only IL he in
tends TO carry out fully the promises
n made in Paris.
The allies will be compelled to
answer before the court of public
opinion for any brusqueness in their
dealings with the United States, the
Daily Mail declared.

and Italian premiers about which
the United States was not consult
ed. II is recalled that nearly all
of the opposition to the ratification
Of the treaty by the United States
has been based upon the conces-
sions which the President made to
Great Britain. France Italy and
Japan which were against the
spirit of his fourteen points. The
President himself stated in his
speeches throughout the country
that he disliked some of the terri
torial arrangements entered into
and that he had yielded to them
only because he felt it necessary
to secure a peace treaty and a
league of nations which would
take care of all future territorial
disputes. AS his trouble has all
been due to the concessions he
made the allies, his friends resent
the criticism which recently has
come out of allied capitals.
They charge that, taking advan-
tage of his condition of health. the
allied powers, particularly Great
Britain, have sought to create an at

HINT WILSON ASKED
DELAY ON TREATY

For the time being. the various
Adriatic communications, passing
between the allies and this govern
ment, are withheld from the public.
The President has no present objec-
tiOn to the publication of all the
involved state papers, after he has
completed his case.
But diplomatic courtesy forbids
publication of the Anglo-Franco-
American proposals of December,
until the consent of France and
England is obtained. There is also
disposition to give Premier NittI
any needed opportunity to get the
italian situation in hand, before
making the several communications
and replies public.
A protracted exchange of notes
will be set in motion by the Presi-
dents reply. many here believe. The
allied statesmen, however, have
plainly indicated their desire to
have the entire Adriatic question
settled In the quickest possible
fashion.
Embassies in the Capital gener-
ally intimate that the Presidents
diplomatic power is weakened by
the treaty situation in the Senate.
They say that the Senate disposi-
ton to shelve the treaty, pending
the outcome of the present crisis, will
tend to react against President VIII
sons influence on the allies.
Nevertheless they admit the pos
sibility that the President asked the
Senate for the treaty's temporary
tablIng. Such a diplomatic sug-
gestion.' however, diplomatists are
inclined to reason, would be only a
pebble thrown into the allied sea.
Diplomatic opinion further de-
clares that the diplomacy of the
allies is calculating on the Senate's
possible defeat of the trea>y, any
way. The allied powers are viewed
as having too much economically
and politically at stake to await
moot treaty settlements like the
Adriatic upon the doubtful decision
of a not immediate election in
America
Press dispatches from Rome indi-
cate that the Italian public is warn
ing Premier Nitti to stand firm in
the spirit of the Jugo-Slav ultima
tum. Certain sections of Italy's
press go as far as to advocate an
appeal to the American Senate in
defense of this Italian attitude.
!. Even the generally moderate Cor
riere d'Italia, of Rome, the vati-
cans semi-official organ. is showing
irritation at President Wilson. Why
should America be allowed to inter-
fere in Europe's affairs, when
America forbids Europe to interfere
In American affairs? 1t is reported
to query in a recent editorial.
There is a striking tendency in
the allied press to confuse the
whole issue or beg the essential
question. The President has SIM
ply informed the allies that the
league of nations could not COM
nit America to territorial settle
ments in whose making America
had no responsible share.

he is now giving the allied powers
good dose of their own medi"i-e.
When it becomes thoroughly UNDER
stood in Europe, IL is saId, that ,ne
premiers of Great Britain, France
and Italy entered into a secret ar
rangement without consulting the
United States. which was contrary
to the former understanding had
with the United States, they are
likely to have just as troublesome
a time with their own people as the
President has had with the Senate.
1t is believed that in the future In
dealing with European questions
the President will make no conces-
sions whatever. but will base the az
titude of the United States solefy
upon what he considers to be the
right and justice of the issue. II
the allied governments have any
policies or proposals which are in
conflict with right and justice. they
will be left to reconcile their own
people to their course of action, un-
supported by the United States.
