ITALO-JUGO-SLAV ENTENTE.

A CASE FOR DISCRETION.
recent number of the Corriere della Sera an article appeared dealing with the subject of frontiers and the diffi culty of determining them on purely ethnical lines It pointed to the danger of this difficulty being overlooked in" Allied countries, and to the possibility ot compromised relations with Italy sulting from a desire to win the grati tude of a new, young. and sunaii State It asked for assistance to instil in the minds of our neighbours feelings of toler anes and moderation which would render possible the conciliation foreshadowed at the Congress of Rome."Complaining in subsequent article that much assistance hall not been fortheuming the journal Urges that the case is serion" becnews this attitude of some spheres of the Entente countries encourages the Jugos Slaas te dispute the most sacred rights" | of the Italians, whilst, on the other hand, many Italians are induced by the violent attide of the Fugo-Stars to turn back to that conception of Italo-Slav wlations which Austria and tiermany have always favoured in order to establish the most valid cefence of their Adriat claims on the dissensions of the two peoples."'
Dissatisfaction is expessed with the Janguage employed by a certain section of the Allied Press, which, it is held, is calculated to produce an unsatisfactory frame of mind in Italy. Agreeing that there is great divergence of opinion. between Italiansand Fugo Slavs "with regard to the delimitation of their respec tive boundaries the journal proceeds: But is it possible that this divergence of opinion, concerning a territory which together with over 400,000 Italians are. mixed 730,000 Jugo-Stars, at the out- side, is it possible that such a dispute should assume the proportions of one of the most important, vital, and serious European problems, a dispute in which everyone should be entitled to have voice, without the slightest regard towards nation who

wealth proportionately greater than that of any other of the Allies, setting at stake her very existence?
Is it for the benefit of Italy alone that such a problem cxists, the problem of a frontier which, in order to satisfy ethnical, geographical, and historical claims of a great and victorious nation, is bound to include nuclei of populations of a different race!'
The Corriere dello Sera claims a special right to put these queries seeing that it contributed with all its power towards Italy's intervention in the war, and that it is at the present moment an evocate of Italo-Jugo-Slav conciliation. Quoting concrete case of dissatisfaction with the zone of a section of the Allied Press, the journal writes: We shall say to our colleagues of The New Europe, whose authority and competence we acknow- ledge, that the tone with which ther have spoken-of-italy on various occasions. cr fair by cannot be considered friendly any Italian. Why are they who, like our #elves,
bave wished the dismemberment of Austria, fully convinced that it was a monstrous and arbitrary structure chain- ed to the German chariot, why are they Bow obsessed with a question of mere detail such as, after all, is this boundary line between 1taly and Jugo-Slavia, and why do they not adopt same warmth try to and vebemence of language to prevent a far more serious matter, the resurrection of Austrial For it is evi- of dent that there are in France currents opinion favourable to such a resurrection,

by the annexation of six or

Another European problem is the Bulgarian frontier, for the solu tion of which the Serbs are anixated a spirit very different from the one which would like to see adopted in the they settlement of our dissensions with the Slovenes, to whose fierce intolerance they now lend their support with a view of. winning a similar support for themselves. in their quarrels with the Croats."

Though recognising that the principles by which writers in the Allied Press are. animated are fundamentally sound," it is none the less contended that for the sake of their own creature, Jugoslavia, of which they are the putative fathers, they are at times too unfair and severe with us, and play the game of those people in France who still brood over the anti-Italian tradition, and whore our French friends have rot succeeded in depriving of all influence, as well as of those in Italy who cherish gallophobe and anglophobe traditions. The latter score a success when they remind eminent Eng lish writers, who dispute on ethnical lines our possession of certain positions on the Adriatic, that they are subjects of State which for strategic considerations deprives Italy of Malta and Greece of Cyprus. We, however, who work to sen our relations with France and England solidly established on firm basis. are alarmed at these acrimonies, which leave bobind baneful Beads for time to feour-
