PRESIDENT contends that "the principles ambodied in his Fourteen Points should be applied to these dew: States no less than to the Germans, and that Fiume abould serve As the outlet and inlet to the lands of the north and north- east of the port, which naturally desire access to the Mediterranean. . President Watson makes a strong point when he reminds Italy that Fiume was assigned. not to her, but to the Croatians under the Pact of London. Even had it been otherwise, however, President. Witsov would not have felt bound by this secret agreement made between Great Britain, France and Italy in the early days of the war. because America was not a party to it, and the circumstances have
