PEACE ON THE ADRIATiC

With Adriatic skies clear OF war
clouds-except one, no bigger than
a mans hand and that hand d'Annun-
zio's--the American press as a whole
finds satisfaction in the agreement
reached by Italy and the Jugo-Slav
states. Some writers consider that
the way to a peaceful conclusion
was paved by President Wilson's
early intervention. others declare that
it was brought about despite the
president Many look at the estab-
lishment of Fiume as II free city,
and the award of contiguous territory
to Italy, a Il triumph for Rome made
possible when our election %rcpudiaied
the Wilson policy and removed hope
of American support TO the Juso-
Slavs' claims.
The Charleston IN. Co. News and
Courier (Dem.) feels that Jugo-Slavia
has accepted practically all o.
Italy's demands and adds that at

when it did, a few days after the
American election" which made it
plain that the Wilson policies We're
defeated and the last hope of Jugo-,
Slavia was gone The Providence
Journal (Ind., agrees that the cleo
ton FASTENED the settlement but con-
siders that 'Fiume was a small price

relationship with Italy, to which Jugo-
Slavia must look for economic and
political support" and MIR. Wilson

and the Sioux City Oa.) journal
(Rep.) consider that President Will
son delayed Adriatic concord, the
former going so far as TO say that;
"The elimination Of the Wash
ington administration MS a meddlcr in
European affairs consequently removes
the biggest obstacle TO surccasc from
political storm that has beer rang

The Philadelphia papers. the North
American (Prog.) and the Public
Ledger Und,) entirely out of SYM
pathy with the presidents iutervcn-
tion. consider that peace has come
in spite" OF his attitude and no,
because Of IL, and they feel that
Italy has justly triumphcd The
Chicago Evening Post undl however,
declares that the Jugo-Slavs have
Yielded more than "a strict cthnogra-
Dhical frontier demanded" and have
'subordlnated racial and economic
conditions OF immediate urgency to

concludes.
