A  Paris  dispatch  of  April  23,  1919,  stated:  "In  a
statement  issued  by  President  Wilson  today  he  declares
that  Fiume  cannot  become  a  part  of  Italy."  And  he
"points  out  that  every  condition  concerning  the  Adriatic
settlement  has  been  changed  since  Italy  entered  the  war
upon  the  promises  of  the  pact  of  London,  the  Austro-Hun-
garian  empire  having  disappeared.  He  notes  that  new
states  have  been  created  for  which  Fiume  is  the  natural
outlet  to  the  sea.  .  ..
