FREE PORT PROPOSALS
DISCUSSED BY COUNCIL OF FOUR.
PARIS-, 25th April. The Council of Four, with Baron Sonnino replacing *Signor Orlando, discussed some of the economic clauses of the Peace Treaty, and also the question of the Kiel Canal. It is reported that the council definitely decided that Danzig should be a free port, with an autonomy as previously cabled. It is understood that the British suggested dealing similarly with Fiume, giving sovereignty to the. Jugo-Slavs. Thus the Italians would practically have autonomous control. This was discussed when President Wilson issued his statement. It is asserted that Britain and France are prepared to give Italy much-needed assistance in regard to coaland other materials. As a free port Fiume would be worked under the League of Nations.
