3 There is no room for doubt as to the stand taken by President Wilson on either the Dodecanese question or the issue of secret treaties. When Fiume was under discussion the position of the United States President was that “the only advantage in letting the Italians have Fiume would be that it would break the Treaty of London which he was disturbed to find allotted the Dodecanese to Italy”: David Hunter Miller, My Diary at the Paris Conference, New York, 1923, Vol. XIX, p. 576. This evoked bitter opposition from Italian quarters at the Peace Conference. Signor Sonnino declared, “ Italy had made definite agreements with the Allies. Now comes a third party who says we must give up all this and that because of new principles which Wilson believes in but I do not”: Luigi Aldrovandi Marescotti, Guerra Diplomalica, Milano, 1937, p. 250.
