Disposition of Trieste and its hinterland, explosive issue which
blasted the Big Four peace treaty meeting in May, still smoulders.
Yugoslavia demands, as seen on ethnographical map above, that her
border be moved west to incorporate all of Venezia Giulia and the
Istrian peninsula into the Yugoslavia Republic; that Trieste be made
a free city, with status of a federal unit of the republic; and that the
port of Trieste be internationalized, although under Yugoslav
sovereignty. Russia stubbornly supports these demands. The U. S.,
Britain and France suggest a border midway between the present
one and the extreme western line sought by Yugoslavia. They agree,
approximately, on this down to Portole, where their ideas diverge as
shown by flags. This would leave Trieste and all the Adriatic coast
in Italian hands.

dip at Hunters Point Navy Yard, Calif., before embarking them on the Burleson. At right, a seaman
gives „ome of the pigs their first meal aboard the ship.
