from the Treaty of London line and
which were made with the under
standing that negotiations were
proceeding on quite q new basis.
/ 1T has been no secret that the
| parties to the treaty did not them
selves now desire IL ana that they
have thus far refrained from put
ting its provisions into effect In
mutually disregarding their secret
treaty commitments. the parties TO
the treaty have recognized the
change in circumstances that has
taken place in the interval between
the signing of the secret treaty and
its proposed execution at the pres
ent time. For nearly eight months
1discussion of the Adriatic problem
has proceeded on the assumption
4 that a better basis for an UNDER
standing could be found than those
provided by the treaty Of London.
Territory beyond Affected.
'~The greater part of the result
ing proposals have already received
Italy's assent. These proposals In
some cases affected territory be-
yond the Treaty of London line, as
| lH tHe idTNiS ana oeAlOH Ndiityss
in others. the territory fell short
of the Treaty of London line. as
| in the case of the Islands of Lus-
sin, Unie, Lissa and Pelagosa-to
mention only few or the many
proposals upon which tentative
agreements have long been reached
and which would be upset by an
application of the treaty at this late
day.
"The coupling of the Treaty of
London as an obligatory alternative
to the Adriatic settlement proposed
on January IA came as a surprise
to the American government be-
cause this government had already
by the agreement of December 8
entered into a distinct understand
| ing with the British and French
governments regarding the basis of
a settlement of he question. BY
their action of January IA, the gov
ernment of the United States was
confronted with a definite solution.
to which was added on January 20
4 threat to fall back upon the terms
of the Treaty of London. This
course was followed without any at
tempt to seek the views of this
government or to provide such op-
portunity of discussion as was
easily arranged in many other mat
| ters dealt with N the same period.

Is the purpose Of the American peo-
pie to take a step so far-reaching
and terrible in its effects on a
ground which has the appearance of
being so inadequate"
Loathes Italian Compromise.
The President loathes the Italian
compromise only little less than he
hates the Pact of London. The De-
cember agreement made Fiume and
its environs a buffer state between
Italy and Fiume.
In the substitute proposal of Eng
land and France, accepted by Pre-
mier NTH, the joint note of De-
cembet was changed to concede:
!. The corridor along the coast
connecting Fiume with Italy.
2. The moving eastward of the
Wilson line resulting in the annexa-
ton of all of Istria by Italy.
3. An opening wedge for Italian
control of Fumes foreign affairs.
T.. The cession of vital points of
protection for the railroad connect
ing Fiume with the interior
5. The partitioning of Albania
among Italy. Greece and Jugo-
Slavia.
On December England, France
and America signed a joint memo
randum on the Adriatic question at
Paris. A month afterward, England,
France and Italy served their ia
nous four-day ultimatum on Jugo-
Slavia. In this action America was
not consulted, and the President
charges the English and French
with a reversal of their December
position.
Through the latter half of Janu-
airy informal communications were
exchanged between the French and
English premiers and the Secretary
of State at Washington. In answer
to an American query, they denied
that they were disposed to ignore
the American government in the
Adriatic settlement. But they de-
clared they regarded the January
14th ultimatum as the best available
way out Of the Italy-Jugo-S -Slav
dilemma.
The Presidents reply to this last al
lied rejoinder was his note of Feb
ruary 10. carrying the hint of Amer
ica's possible removal from European
affairs. Seven days later the French
and British premiers answered this
communication of the President, ask
ing what he could have done in their
position.
On February "A Mr.. Wilson replied to
the query by proposing a direct Italo-
Jugo-Slav agreement on the Adriatic
or an Anglo-Franco-American solu-
ton.

Hresolution introduced in the Senate
yesterday by Senator France, of
Maryland, as a means of settling
the treaty deadlock. 1t was re-
ferred to the Committee on loreign
Relations.
The resolution provides that the
meetings of the concert of nations
shall be held in Washington, and
that it shall provide national ref
erenda on matters of large inter-
national interest.
The peace treaty" says the res
olution, has failed to receive the
Endorsement of two-thirds of the

one-third of the Senate to having
