Mr. Wilson proceeds to argue that if the lands on
the eastern ahorei of the Adriatic which Italy expected were withheld from her, there need be no fear of the unfair treatment of groups of Italian people," because " adequate guarantees will be given under international sanction of the equal and equitable treat- ment of all racial or national minorities. In brief, every question associated with this settlement wears a new aspect—a new aspect given it by the very victory for right for which Italy has made the supreme sacrifice." There is of course no getting away from that argument so long as we accept the League of Nations. The League has been accepted, and we must act in that knowledge and on that fact. Why then, we ask, if Danzig is to be a League-protected port, should not Fiume be also a League-protected port ?
