Paris. Eatbest attempts are being made in various quarters to find solution for the Adriatic problem which would give the Jugo-Slavs port which could serve the main rail way line into Croatia and at the same time leave Fiume to Italy. The Temps has suggested that the port of Zena, about 30 miles south of Fiume, might be developed to meet the needs of the Jugo-Slavs. Zena, however, would require a very costly harbor works to be of any use and it is about 60 miles from the railway line. The French Engineer Quellenec, in a letter to The Temps, suggests the bay of Buccari, which opens actually into the gulf of Fiume, and is touched by the railway from Fiume to Agram The bay is a natural harbor, well pro tected, with five to six fathoms of water.. The shores are suitable for the construction of quays. However, such a solution, which would place upon the shoulders of the young state the burden of developing a new port which could not be an effective, substi tute for Fiume for years, is unlikely to satisfy the Jugo-Slavs. Other possibilities are being exam El ENT 010 ono GROWERS Merchants Mutual Organizes.
