Wilson Rejoices Allies
Would Not Adopt Fii,s,7,e
Plan He Had Rejected

The text of President Wilson's note
to the French and British representa-
tlvcs at Paris. and which is dated Feb
ruary 10, follows:
THE President has carefully consid
cred the joint telegram addressed to
this government by the French and
British prime ministers and communi-
Gated by the American Ambassador in
Paris. in regard to the negotiations on
the Adriatic question. The President
notes with satisfaction that the French.
British and Japanese governments have
never had the intention of proceeding
TO definite settlement of this uues-
ton except in consultation with the
American governments
The President was particular,v
happy to receive this assurance. as he
Understood that Monsieur Clemenceau
and Mr. Lloyd George, in agreement
with Signor Nitt, had decided tpon a
solution Of the Adriatc question, which
included provisions previously rejected
by the American government, and had
called upon the Jugo-Slav representa-
yves TO accept this solution, on pain
OF having the Treaty of London en-
forced in case of rejection. The Pres
ldent is glad to feel that the associ~
ates of this government would not CON
sent to embarrass it by placing it in
the necessity of refusing adhesion TO
a settlement which in form would be
an agreement by both parties to tho
controversy. but which in fact would
not have that great merit if one partv
were forced to submit to material in
justice by threats of still greater ca

"Whiie there is thus substantial

expediency Of 1taly's claims, there is
difference of opinion as to how firmly
ltay's friends should resist her i'm
Fortunate demands for alien terri
torres to which she can present no valid
title. 1t has seemed to the President
ihat the French and British associates
OF the American government, in order
to prevent the development of possibly
dangerous complications in the Ad-
natic region, have feld constrained TO
go very far in yielding to demands
which they have long opposed as un-
just.
Inc American government, while no
less generous in its desire to accord
Italy every advantage to which she
could offer any proper claims feels
that 1t cannot sacrifice the principles
or one OF It's associates, or to purchase
a temporary appearance of calm in the
aorlatic at the price of future world
contagration. H. is unwilling to recop-
nlze either an unjust settlement based
on secret treaty. the terms Of which
arc lnconsistent with the new world
condition, or an unjust settlement ar
rived at BY employing that secret
treaty as an instrument of coercion.
1T would welcome any solution Of
the problem based on a free and un
prcJudiced consideration Of rhe merits

which the disinterested great powers
agreed to be just and equitable Italy.
however, has repeatedly rejected such
solutions. This government cannot ac-
cept settlement the terms of which
have been admitted to be unwise and
unjust. but which it is proposed to
grant to Italy in view of her persistent
refusal to accept any wise and lust
solution
ut is time to speak with the utmost
Irankness. The Adriatic issue. as it
now presents itself. raises the funda
mental question as TO whether the
American government can. on anv
terms, cooperate with its European as
soc'ates in the great work of main

removing the primary causes of war.

Acceptance Of tfris proposal would

ing out any solution. and would. leave
the Whole question Of boundaries as
between not only Italy and Jugo- Slayin
but in Albania as Welt, up in the air,
but this, it is thought here, would be
far more acceptable TO the Allies than
an absolute break with President
Wilson.
It is also thought that tte Allies will
Insist even mere strongly than they
have in the spondence given out
tonight that the United States send n
representative with power to act to
Europe, so that delays in submitting
every phase of negotiations to the
Unit ted States may be avoided.
Such insistence will become inpera-
tive if the Italians and Jugo-Slavs
should fail to reach an agreement be-
tsceen themselves, and the second of
Mr.. Wilson's proposals should be
adopted "a new agreement on the Adri-
attic question by Great Britain. France
and the United States.
May Send Polk to Paris
No one here thinks that the Presi-
dent will. even then, Send representa-
tive to Paris with real power to act.
But it is thought he will be forced to
serd some one carrying credentials S
which would permit him voting for the
United States. Then this representa-
tive, it is thought. would be required
to keep in close cable touch with the
Ntite House.
II was pointed out in this connec-
ton that the Allies requested that AM
b;sssador Wallace be gwen pienary
powers, but President Wilson refused.
A. Under Secretary of State Frank L..
Polk signed the agreement of Docem-
her 9 and is IN full accord with the
Presidents views on the Adriatic stu
alton, it was thought tonight very
probable that he might be sent to Paris
again if, as diplomats very generally
except, the Italians and Jugo- Slavs
should fail to reach an agreement st
isfactory to both without carrying
their solution bevond their own boun-
Saries or affecting nationals of third
country. This. of course, is all on the
assumption that the Allies accept the
Presidents proposed method Of solu-
ton.
Whether the Allies accept this pro-
pcsal by Mr.. Wilson, or come back
with some counter proposal, delay is
inevitable in reaching final solution.
Diplomats generally who have studied
the situation are very pessimistic,
thinking that the dragging out of ne
gotiations in prospect is comparable
only to the debate in the United States
Senate on the peace treaty.

Allies to E4p!4i,a
Asks if Russian and
Fiunne Plans viii Be
Made Without u. s.

Following is the text of the cable
sent on January 10 by the Secretary
of State, asking the point of view of
the British and French governments in
undertaking to dispose Of the Adriatc
and Russian questions before ascer-
tanning the views of the American gov
ernment:
Washington, January 10, 1920.
please take up With MIR. Clemenceau
and Mr.. Lloyd George the question of
the way the Russian and the Italian
problems have been handled and ascer-
tain their point of view. The United
states is being put in the position of
having the matter disposed of before
the American point of view can be ex-
pressed, az apparently Mr.. Clemenceau
and Mr.. Lloyd George have sought only
the views of the Italian and Juso-
Slav governments, Before ascertaininr
The views Of the United States govern
ment, is it the intention of the Brit
lsh and French governments in the
future to dispose OF the various uues-
tions pending in Europe and to com
ment of the United States? There are
features in connection with the pro-
posed Fiume settlement which both
Mr.. Clemenceau and Mr.. Lilo d George
must realize would not be acceptable
to the President.
LAS it was pointed out by Mr.. Polk
before his departure, the Dalmatian
and other questions should be taken
up through regular diplomatic channels,
and the fact that you are not charged
with full powers could have no bear
ing on the question. AS no American
official could be sent to these gather

three governments in question. it i
