BIG FOUR'S PRIME HEADACHE 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 >^tatus 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.
