Next Mr. Wilson goes on to deal with the question

of Fiume. It must be remembered that under the Pact of London the Italians are entitled to Trieste, Pola, and part of Dalmatia, while Fiume is allotted to Croatia. The Italians now claim Fiume, on the ground that a majority of the population are Italians, and also on the ground that they have occupied it. Mr. Wilson argues that to assign Fiume to Italy would be to shut out from access to the sea lands which lie to the north and north-east of the port—Hungary, Bohemia, Rumania, and Jugo-Slavia. At this point we become much less sure of Mr. Wilson's logic. If he assigns Fiume to Jugo-Slavia and the other States just named, how can he consistently withhold Danzig from Poland?
