The Commission decided, at that time, a provisional settlement for
communication and traffic between Fiume and Susak, which was made
effective for two months, in view of the eventuality of the prorogation
of the sittings of the Commission. The frontier traffic between Castua
and the adjacent territories was also organised.
With reference to the military operations, the Serbo-Croatian-Slovak
Delegation has at once recorded an objection, on the grounds that with
the evacuation of Susak, it did not consider that that stipulated by the
Agreements of Santa Margherita had been carried out, seeing that the
Delta and Porto Sauro remained occupied by Italian troops. Against this
assertion the Italian Delegation replied that Italy had carried out to
the letter the provisions of the Agreements of Santa Margherita, which
refer purely and simply to the evacuation of Susak.
Apart from this objection, the Commission has continued its work and the
Italian Delegation has put forward a project for a Consortium in the
port of Fiume between the three interested States. Such a project, in a
general way, attributes to Fiume the character of an international port,
leaving the possibility of the enjoyment of special privileges and
guarantees to each of the contracting States for a freer development of
the traffic which affects them. With regard to such a project, the
Serbo-Croatian-Slovak Delegation has put forward its objections,
presenting on its own account a draft of a project, according to which
the Sauro Basin and the Delta would be excluded from the port of Fiume
and assigned exclusively to Yugoslavia.
The Italian Delegation has formally declared that it could not accede to
any pact whatsoever which, destroying the unity of the port of Fiume,
would irremediably damage the future of the new State, and, in answer to
the objections raised by the Serbo-Croatian-Slovak Delegation to the
Italian project, our Delegation has presented another plan, in which
full consideration was given to the said exceptions. But, in the course
of the following discussion, the points of view of the two Delegations
could not be reconciled. The sittings were suspended on 24th March, to
be resumed shortly.
_The new Lausanne Conference._ Following the counterproposals put
forward by the Government of Angora, the British Government has convened
in London an Inter-Allied meeting in order to examine what modifications
to the drafting and the substance of the Peace Treaty presented to the
Turks on the 30th of last January may be possible. The Allied
Representatives at this meeting have decided to invite the Turks to
resume as soon as possible at Lausanne the discussion with the Allied
experts and have at the same time come to an agreement as to the line of
conduct to follow in such a discussion.
