TheAmerican newspapers had taken an interest in the Fiume crisis especially after that PresidentWilson openly expressed his support for the Yugoslav cause in 1919. Albeit for different reasons,some of the most authoritative newspapers embraced the Wilson’s pro-Slavic stancesand published unfavorable articles about the Fiume situation. The «New York Times» sarcasticallyepitomized Fiume as an «Happy city» in which the legionaries, portrayed as layabouts andbandits, were having a whale of a time. In other cases, these newspapers fueled the suspiciousthat d’Annunzio’s adventure ceiled Bolshevik objectives provoking hostile feelings toward himin a public opinion already upset by the red scare. On the other hand, some New York minornewspapers as «The Sun», the «Herald» and the «Tribune» along with a substantial part of theItalo-American community advocated the cause of d’Annunzio by organizing supportive eventsand rallies.
