LONDON, Feb. 27. The ivplv
made bv Premier Lloyd (ieoriro ami
Millerand to President Wilson's latest
communication on the Adriatic ttuos
tion repeats the assurance that thev
"never had the intention ut making'
a definite settlement without oMaiii
intr the views of the lnited States
troverntnenl."
The reply which is dated Fehnuuv
2i, states that the absence of an
A me n nan representative had proved
in practice an almost insurmount
able obstacle to the success of the
negotiations.
The premiers observe as a fact of
the irreat importance that President
Wilson expresses a willingness to ac
cept anv settlement "mutually
agreeable to Italy and Juiro-Slnvm
reirnrdimr their common frontier hi
the Kiume region, provided yicii
agreement is not nwule on the basis
of compensation elsewhere at the ex
pense of nationals, of a third power.''
This, the premiers ai:ree. would be
an ideal wav of HCttlinu; the (niestion
and they express" willingness to do
their utmost to reach a settlement
by this road. In order to facilitate
this process thev are ready to with
draw their proposals of December !)
andand .January 20 because thev be
lieve if the parties principally con
cerned believe the allied and asso
ciated powers are committed to sup
port litem in anv particular -solution
it will be more difficult to secure a
voluntary agreement.
The premiers, therefore, cordially
invite the president to join them in a
formal proposal to the Italian and
Juno Slav governments to negotiate
tin agreement on the basis of with
drawal of all previous proposals.
