Washington, Feb. 20. (By The As- sociated Press)—The position of the | American government on the Adriatic settlement has been made so plain in President Wilson's reply to the allied note that administration officials be- lieve the way to further argument on the subject virtually has been closed. t was said today, however, that by this they do not mean that the door to further exchanges has been shut. On the contrar: reply to the presi i dent’s latest communication is antie!- pated and a final agreement between the great powers on the question expected. The president, throughout 3 changes now in progress, is unde stopod to have made it perfectly clea that the United States cannot accept the memorial | “destroy all | and | long established orderly methods of the scttlement reached by the allied premiers and concurred in by Italy and which was made the subject mat- ter of the ultimatum to Jugo-Slavia last month. He also is said to have made it equally clear that enforce- ment of the Adriatic terms of the secret treaty of London, negotiated before this country entered the war, would be wholly unacceptable to the United States, The president’'s note still is in the hands of Acting-Secretarv Polk, to whom it was sent vesterday for study, and it was said at the State depart- ment that it would not be dispatched today. It probably will be put on the cables tomorrow. It was officially stated that the question of giving publicity to the ex- changes would.await the delivery of the president’s note and the acquies- cence of the other governments.
