with tho other members of tho coun

principle, nnd not territorial questions,
were discussed.
This Is explained ns meaning thnt

und that no effort Una mndo to reach
n settlement, on n territorial basis.
The conference lasted two hours.

nied that tho pact of London did not
npply to Flume, but tho Itnllnn clnlm
was based on tho principles of Presi
dent Wilson's 14 points.

lundo's statement:
"Yesterdny, while the ItallRn dele
gation was discussing counter-propositions
which had been received from
tho British prime minister nnd which
had for their aim the conciliation of
contradictory tendencies which wero
manifest concerning Itnllnn territorial
aspirations, tho Paris newspnpers pub
lished a message from the president ot
tho United States In which he ex
pressed his own thought on one of the
grnvest problems which hns been sub
mitted to the Judgment of the confer
ence. "Tho practice of addressing nations
directly constitutes surely an Innova
tion In Internntlonnl relations, I do
noc wish to complnln, but I wish to
record It ns n precedent, so that at my
own time I mny follow It, lnnsmuch ns
(his new custom doubtless constitutes
tho granting to nntlons of larger par
ticipation in Internntlonnl questions,
nnd, personally, I have nlwnys been
of the opinion thnt such participation
was the hnrblnger of a new order of
things.
"Nevertheless, if theso appeals nro
to bo considered ns addresses to nn
tlons outside of the governments which
rcpreseut them (I might sny even
against tho governments) I should feel
deep regret In recalling thnt this proc
ess, heretofore applied to enemy gov
eraments, Is today npplled for the first
time to n government which bus been
nnd Intends to remnln n loyal ally of
the great American republic, namely,
to tho Italian government."
Premier Orlundo says that he might
complnln that such n messago ad
dressed to the Italian nation hnd boon
published at tho very moment when
tho allied and nssoclnled powers were
negotiating with tho Italian gov
ernment, tho help of which had been
sought nnd appreciated In numerous
si rlous questions heretofore discussed
In Intlmnte nnd complete solidarity.
"Abovo all." ho continues, "I should
hnvo the right to complnln If the dec
larations of the presldentlnl message
Imve the purposo to oppose tho Itnllnn
people to the Italian government, be
muse It would misconstrue nnd deny
the high degree of civilization which
the Italian pcoplo hns attained and
Its democratic and liberal regime, and
I Hhould be forced to protest strongly
against suppositions unjustly offen
slve to my country."
