II would be without interest 10 sketch the history
Of Russia step by step advancing toward that aim by
war and by emissaTies by diplomatic corruption aud by
corrupted diplomacy from the time OF Mehemet Batad-

down TO the treaty 10 the Dardaneles and the Bos

twotrds Of COnstantinople nse in their daily bread,
depepdent upon Russian wheat TO the amount of thirty
FIVE millions Of piasres year while Turkish wheat ID

BY each of these treaties Russia advanced its frontiers
and pressed more closely COnstannope within its iron
grasp with such persevering consistency pursuing her
aim that in other political transactions, apparently
uncopnected with Turkey, II was constantly this aim
which she viewed As for instance at the peace OF III
sit when she surrendered continental Europe to the
monetary dominion Of Napoleon, provided Turkey
was consigned to her. And still she did not succeed,
and still stamboul stands barrier to her dominion
over the world.
And why did she not succeedl Because the European
powers conscious of the fact that the conquest OF Con-
staDtinople is 80 much their own submission 20
Russia have In the last instance always prevented IT, IN
uniting TO treat the question of the Orient question
OF life and death for their own independence. And
