Demand for Tyrol Denied by Paris Talks
Paris reports say the Council of Foreign Ministers rejected Austria’s demand to take part of southern Tyrol from Italy but failed to settle the Italian French frontier. Ministers discussed the Alpine region, Trieste, and possible internationalization of the Adriatic port with a ten year standstill and a plebiscite later to resolve its fate. Italy’s Premier De Gasperi warned Rome would resist any settlement that internationalized Trieste or ceded western Istria to Yugoslavia.
