LANE GIVES EXPLANATION OF LONDON
TREATY GRANTS TO ITALIANS
Special to Ths Nome Nugget by The Associated Pt'etu*.
WASHINGTON, April 26—Secretary of the interior Lane has issued a
statement explaining the reasons for'President Wilson’s opposition to the Italian
claims to Fiumc and the terms of the secret London treaty on the provisions j
of which the Italians base their claims t»» Fiumc and the Dalmatian coast. I
Lane asserts that the London treaty gave Fiume, not to the Italians,!
but to Crotia which is now a part of the new nation known as Jugo-Slavia and
which embraces practically all of the tevrrttories of Slavonia, Crotia, Bosnia, j
Herzegovnia and Serbia. V .
President Wilson contends that Fiume should belong to Jugo-Slavia.
Lane’s statement says that the Italian claim is based on nothing more
concrete than a desire for additional territory and Italy, secure in the posses
sion of Venice and Trieste, can get along very happily without Fiume. On the
other hand, he says, Jugo-Slavia will find its national development greatly bin- |
tiered without having access to the sea through Fiume.
