sidered by the Supreme Council at Txin- ,
don, was made public here last night i
cod is as follows: '
"The President desires to express his '
determination of the common frontier to
Italy nud Jugo-Slavia. In this connec
tion the President desires to reiterate
that ho would gladly approve a mutual
ugreernent between the Italian and Jugo
slav governments readied without prej-
to the territorial or oilier inter

questions should not be included in the

economic outlet for .lugo-SIavla in the
region of Rcuturl, suggested in the note
under reply, the President desires to
refer to the memorandum of December 0
as making adequate provisions to meet
the need of Juso-Slavia.
Uejects Treaty of London
"Itegarding the character and appli
cability, of the treaty of London, the
President Is led to speak with less re

ministers. lie Is nimble Io find In tho

Peace. Conference was that it did not
consider Itself bound by secret treaties
of which it had previous)) not known

such treaties were just and reasonable,
the United States was willing to respect
them. Hut the French and Ilritlsh
prime ministers will, of course, not ex
pect the government of the Fnited states
to approve the execution of the terms of
the treaty of London except in so far
as that government may be convinced
thut thoic terms arc intrln'icully just

without the knowledge or .approval of
the American Government, which was
unacceptable to ono of the interested
governments, nnd which, in his opinion,
was in direct contradiction of the prin

entered the wnr. These views he has
fully explained In Ills note of February
