Senator LotlRe, of MnssnrlnnctK Republican leader in tlie next Congress, sprang a political surptisc last niglit by ilisicntinR from President Wilson's attitude on the Fiump question, uliicli caused n with drawal of the Itnlinn delegates from the Peace Conference in Taris. Senator Lodge made his attitude plain in n tele gram addressed to Italians in Boston. Tt had been the general opinion in AVashington President Wilson would b universally supported In bis tnml against Italian annexation of tho Adri atic port, but if Senator Lodge can sway his fellow Republicans, it looks asifn partisan issue may be made of the inci dent. , After l ceiling the fait that Italy fought side br side with Gloat Britain, France nnil the Vnitcd States, sacri ficed a half million of her people and burdened herself with debt. Senator Lodge njs she has taken possession of ritime by her victory in the war. "I do not see," he declared, "how the United States and the other nations v ith whom she is allied can propeily icfitEC her lcquc-t. I earnestly hope that Piumo ma lieeome an Italian pos session so hi to gic her that security to which her nimies anil her saciiliees entitle her." The telegram was addicssed to Rnrro ISrimlisi. president of the Dante, Aligh ieii Sotietv; Savcrio Romano, president f the Federation I'lgll Di Italia; An thony Kureans. president of the Federa tion of Columbus Republican Clubs; Pasqualc fialaisi. of the state immigia tiou board, and othcis. Tct of Telegi.iin The tclcgiaui follows: April -J!), 1910. Gentlemen I lime iiveivrd jour tel egram. In the discussion of the terms of peace I hae almns declared that the legion known us Italia Irredenta and all adjoining regions uhcie Italian culture and Italian population arc dominaut should be ictiirned to Italy, nnil that ltay should lime military nnil uaial control of the Adriatic not only for her own protection, but as ;i essential bar tier against nnj future attempt of tier many to attack, the test of the world, as the did in the iccent war. ' I hac nlfo said 1'rpr.itcdly that the .lugo-Slavs ought to have access to the Adriatic, which I legard as cconom cally essential to their independence. To both of these opinions I adhere uud I can see no reason whj the mutter could not have been arranged. From information-given me liv an Italiau deputation last spring iu Wiibhitigtoii I was as Hired that Italy was entirely willing to givo portions of the Dalmatian coast containing good ports to the Slay popu lations of that region. If this be true, ..- t i .. ,1ni.v, If Id. T rnnnot &CC why this arrangement should not nno been innue. . The pact of London, according to tho President's staticnt, provided for the leturii of Flume to Croatia, but the dissolution -of the Austrian empire i ..i...n nunln.nl tlin litnntinn con- templnteil b' the secret treaty of Lon don and to that secret treaty the Lnc' States was not a party. I repeat thnt I think Italy should make arrangements to secure an access to the Adriatic to il.- Ul.!n nnitlntliina lllpll . I IlOIIO. will form a united independent barrier slate. ' Cites Flumo Decision As to Flume, if Italy is of' opin ion thnt It is necessary ot her safety ami for her protection that she should hold Flumo I " elearly of the opinion that it should be hers especially, as the people of Flume. I understand, have voted to join with Italy. Italy regards Flume ns the founders of our ow n Republic regarded the mouth of the Mississippi when it was said that any other nation holding the mouth of the Mississippi was of necessity an enemy of the United States. That which we desire to do for the Slavs is purely commercial and economic. Itnlv'a demand for Flume tests on the ground of national safety and pro tection. Italy has fought side bv side with France, Ungland and the United States, and has helped forcmostly in re pelling the (Jcrman onset. She has sacrificed 1,000,000 of her people. She has burdened herself with heavy debts. She has suffered grievously in her in dustricb and in her food supply. She has taken possession of Fiume, which ivai pnrt.of the enemy territory, by her victory in the war. , T do not sec how the United States and the other nations with whom she was allied can properly refuse her re quest. I earnestly hope that Fiume mnv become an Italian possession, so ns 'to give her that security to which her nrmics.and her sacrifice entitle her. Very truly yours, . H. C.
