The Yugoslav proposal met with a cool reception, it being pointed out that Trieste is international territory and not Yugoslavia's to barter. The new Yugoslav move followed a proposal of United States, Great Britain and Francs to return Trieste to Italy.

Previous to the making of the Gbrizia suggestion, the Yugoslav government had protested to the western powers yesterday that their proposal in regard to Trieste would not strengthen the peace of central Europe.
