Note on "Readjustment op the Fbontiers op Italy" President Wilson in his ninth proposition says that *' readjustment of the frontiers of Italy should be effectu- ated along clearly recognisable lines of nationality.** "NationaUty"! What is nationality? Does the President mean, like the author of the famous German patriotic song : "" Wo ist des Deutschen Vaterland" which kindled the German claim to Alsace, with the refrain: ""Wo die deutsche Sprache klingt''» that the Italian Fatherland is where...ver the Italian language is spoken? If this is the meaning and speaking the same language is to be a principle, condition or motive in the readjustment of Europe, there is an obvious conclusion as regards Alsace. But in prac- tice language is no test within the area of the Mediter- ranean or in that which extends south of the great line of mountain ranges which separates southern from north- em Europe. Any attempt to apply it would residt in a hopeless tangle of racial riddles and political uncer- tainties, as anybody who knows Hungary, the Balkans and the Mediterranean will testify.
