The Commander of United States Naval Forces in the Eastern Mediterranean ( Bullard ) to Admiral W. S. Benson
Adriatic 38. Naval committee reconvened today. Conditions reached a stage where all the committee except the Italian Admiral [Page 343] wished to call persons who could tell of conditions preceding and during the occupation of Fiume, so as to form correct idea of actual existing conditions. Italian Admiral Mola insisted his instructions would not permit this and requested time to consult his Government. This means more delay but agreed to in interests of harmony.
