 Wilson crfticizcs Premier Lloyd Georges plan as communicated te
 the Jugo SIsvs by the supreme
 council en January 70. The Prexi-
 dent examined the plan. but ae- sclares he cannot approve of it's tcn-
 or. He particularly opposes the idea
 which consists of giving the
 SIsvs the choice between this plan
 and execution pure and simple of
 the London pact.
 In s.dftion, acording to the Temps the President finds the Lloyd George plan too divergent from the memorsn- dunn drawn up at London last Decem- Der by Premier Lloyd George and Clemenceau. with the collaboration of the American representative.
 The President gives 1t to be un- aerstood that if the allied powers settle the Adriatfc problem with- cut consulting the United States governrept. the United States will find it impossible ts concern itself in European affairs.
 The memorandum was immediately examined by the chiefs of the allied governments before the French pre- mier left London for Paris this morn ing.

thee not to bid thee farewell I will
