Vdriatic Foothold Needed And the reason why the line of the Pin I of London swept about ninny of lite islands of the eastern coast of Hie Adriatic and around the portion of tlie Dalmntinn coast which lies most open to that sea was not only that here and there on those islands nnd here and there on that coast there are bodies of people of Italian blood and eiiiineclioii. but also, and no doubt chiefly, because it was felt thill it was necessary for llal.v lo have a foot hold amidst the channels of the east ern Adriatic in order that she might niuke her own coasts safe ngiiinst the nuvnl aggression of Austria-Hungary. Hill Austria -Hungary no longr exists, it is proposed that the fortifi cations which the Austrian govern ment constructed there shall be razed and permanently destroyed. It is part also of the new plan of Kuropean order which centers in the league of nations that the new states erected there shall accept a limitation of armaments, which puis aggres sion out of the question.
