THE MORNING OREGOXIAX, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1920 3 WILSON IS RESOLUTE ON ADRIATIC ISSUE Notes of Protest to Premiers Made Public. TREATY RECALL POSSIBLE President Declares America Cannot Sanction Terms of Latest Agree ment With Italy. Continued From First Page.) tied the question, provided in sub stance: Flume as an independent state free in its own diplomacy. Susak to go to the Serb-Croat-Slovene state, with railroads and terminals to go to the league. The free state of the previous proposals was to disappear and the boundary between Italy and the Serb- Croat-Slovene state was to be redrawn to provide for the previously discussed corridor. -The Wilson line" in the ' region of Senosecchia was to be re- drawn,, "to provide for the protection of Triest." This, the agreement de clared, will leave in the Serb-Croat-Slovene state purely Jugo-Slav dis tricts. Zara was to be an independent state under the league, Valona was to be retained by Italy as provided in ' the treaty of London and Italy was to take a mandate over Albania, whose northern boundaries were to be read justed and whose southern boundary was to be rearranged to give Greece Koritza and Argyrokastron. The is land groups of Lussin, Lissa and Pela gosa were to be assigned to Italy and the remainder were to go to the Serb-Croat-Slovene state. All Adriatic islands were to be demilitarized and there were to be special provisions to permit Italians in Dalmatia to choose Italian nationality. WHsosi Re glut era Protest. President Wilson's note of January 19, in protest to these arrangements, asked whether it was "the 'intention of the British and French govern menta in the future to dispose of the " various questions pending in Europe and to communicate the results to th government of the United States,' adding that Clemenceau and Lloyd George must realize there were fea tures in the proposed Fiume settle ment which could not be acceptable to this government- Lloyd George and Clemenceau, re plying under date of January 23r dis claimed any intention of making definite settlement without the views of the United States, but had taken it up at the point at which it was left when under-Secretary Polk re turned to Washington. They replied that they felt "practically every lm portant point of the joint memoran dum of December 9 remained un touched" and added that "only two features undergo alterations and both these are to the advantage of the Jugo-Slavs." The British and French premiers argued that the disappearance of the free state of Fiume would reunite 200.000 Jugo-Savs with their father land, and that the Albanian settle ment was such as to afford satisfac tion "to the necessary requirements to all parties concerned." They char acterized it as a fair settlement of "a difficult and dangerous question." and "that in the event of Its not being ac cepted they will be driven to support the enforcement of the treaty of Lon don, which is satisfactory to nobody." Both premiers disclaimed any intent to show the slightest discourtesy to the United States or that they wished to conceal their action in any way. As President Wilson was not at the conference, they said, they thought the best plan was to proceed with the negotiations and communicate the re sult to the United States. Pact J nut fee Questioned. President Wilson's reply of Febru ary 10 said he could not "believe that a solution containing provisions which already had received the well merited condemnation of the French and British governments (referring to the settlement of December 9) can in any sense be regarded as right." He could not agree that the memoran dum of January 14 left untouched practically every important point as argued by the British and French pre- I miers and declared his opinion that the original proposal had been "pro foundly altered to the advantage of improper Italian objectives, to the se rious injury of the Jugo-Slav people and to the peril of world peace." The , fact that Italy rejected the proposal of December 9 and accepted that of January 14, the president thought, was proof that Italy would receive "very positive advantages." All these provisions, said the pres ident's note, negotiated "without the knowledge or approval of the Amer ican government." changed the whole face of the whole Adriatic settlement, and in the eyes of this government. "render It unworkable and rob it of? that measure of justice which is es sential if this government 1 to co operate in maintaining its terms." "The Adriatic Issue," aid the presi dent, "as it now presents itself raises the fundamental question as to whether the American government can on any terms co-operate with its European associates in the great work of maintaining the peace of the world by removing the primary causes of war. If substantial agreement on what is just and reasonable is not to determine the international Issues; If, in a word, the old order of things which brought so many evils on the world is still to prevail, then the time Is not yet come when this gov ernment can enter a concert of pow ers the very existence of which must depend upon a new spirit and a new order."

It is inexpensive and entirely veg tabiCf ihejtlgrt harmless,. ; Treaty Slav Be Recalled. The president wound up his note by saying that it the maximum conces sions made in the memorandum of December 9 could not be accepted "the president desires to say that he must take under serious consideration the withdrawal of the treaty with Germany and the agreement between the United States and France (the Franco-American alliance), which are now before the senate, permitting the terms of the European settlement to be independently established and en forced by the associated govern ments." Millerand, who had succeeded Clem enceau as premier of France, and Lloyd George replied under date of February 17, saving there was no foundation for the assumption that the new settlement involves a capitu lation to the Italian point of as opposed to the Jugo-Slavs." They summed up President Wilson s criti cisms of the new agreement under four points: That. it ceded to Italy the corridor; that the corridor with Fiume as a free city paved the way for annexa tion to Italy: that the modification of the Jugo-Slav-Italian frontier was detrimental to Jugo-Slavia and that it provided for the partition of Albania. Advantages HeM Ignored. The premiers remarked that Presi dent Wilson had "ignored the great advantage conferred on Jugo-Slavia at the same time." In their discus sions they had found, they said, that "nobody desired the consummation of the free state of Flume," and that the "net upshot of the agreement was to give Jugo-Slavia 150.000 more Jugo-Slavs than the original pro posal. The premiers urged that the guarantees of the league of nations were sufficient to guard against the annexation the president feared and to his criticism of Italian domina tion ef the railway they replied by holding it a "commercial and not a strategic railway," and adding that "under President Wilson's proposals it is commanded by Italian guns." Details of the administration of Albania, they said,, were yet to be elaborated and the "feelings and future interest of the Albanian peo ple" were to be regarded. The pre miers found "difficulty in under standing the present attitude of the United States' and hoped their ex planatlons would lead to a recon sideration of President Wilson's at titude. They disclaimed any desire to force a settlement unacceptable to the president of the United States, and added that they would not at tempt to insist on its acceptance un til after hearing his views. December 9 Proposal Dead. In a lengthy argument the pre miers declared "the proposal of De cember 9 has fallen to the ground be cause nobody now wants to set the artificial free state of Fiume." an added that the United States, having no representative at the deliberations, cannot be in close touch with the changes of opinion and circumstances which nave taken place since its plenipotentiaries returned to America, and. failing to secure an agreed settle' ment. they had no choice but to rely on the treaty of London which, the premiers said, they never had con ceaied from the president and which they felt bound to apply, failing to secure another agreement unless it were to be regarded as a "scrap of paper." France and Great Britain, there fore," said their reply, "view with consternation the threat of the United States to withdraw from the comity of nations because it does not agree with the precise terms of the Adriatic settlement." Ethnologic rea sons, it was argued, could not be the only ones taken into account, as tney said 3,000.000 Germans had been taken nto Czecho-Slovakia and the Ameri can delagation had supported mclud ing 3.500,000 Ruthenians In Poland. Premiers Are Conciliatory. The reply added the hope that whatever the final view of the United States as to the Adriatic set tlement may be they will not wreck the whole machinery for dealing with international disputes . . . be cause their view ia not adopted this particular case. . . . France and Great Britain cannot believe that it 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." This was the conclu sion of the reply of the French and British premiers of February 17. President Wilson's note of Febru ary 24, the last diplomatic paper in the record, except the reply to it now on the way to America., begins by saying the president "feels that in the present circumstances he has no choice but to maintain the position he has taken all along," and reiterates the principles enunciated on America's entry into the war. He adds "in the opinion of the American government the terms of the peace settlements must continue to be formulated upon the basis of the principles for which America entered the war." Referring to Italy's sacrifices, ad vanced in the correspondence as rea son for her claims, the president's reply says: "Such considerations cannot be made the reason for unjust settle ments which will be provocative of future wars. A course thus deter mined would be short-sighted and not in accord with the terrible sacrifices of the entire world which can be justified and ennobled only by lead ing finally to settlements in keeping with the principles for which the war was fought." I The president asks that the prime ministers of France. Great Britain and Italy read his determination in the Adriatic matter in the light of these principles and settlements and realizethat standing upon such a foundation of principle he must of necessity maintain the position which he arrived at after months of earnest consideration. He confidently count upon their co-operation in this effort on his part to maintain for the allied and associated powers that direction of affairs which was initiated by the victory over Germany and the peace conference at Paris. f I I El K- mM -- m I' iy 1 XjlZ.
