PoREIGy INTERVENTION AS MANS OF PAcIFIoAfros.

The state Of Stairs in America is meet melancholy
bo,h 10 the parties Immediately concerned and 10 the
whole civilized world. Two nations, as We may now
call them the mos: commercial people n the world with
ourselves are engaged in ulg all the resources which
coups Of centuries Of assiduous industry has accumu-
lated and also the lives OF the producers. II the mis-
chief rested there might cay let them lie on the bed
they have made; but, unfortunately, this wretched
sife is fast bringing misery upon tens oil thousands OF
hard working abores both in thcountry and Ia France
aud is even inconvenencipg the Weather classes. II
s however 10 the name Of the poor man that We write
The preamble Of the treaty for the pac f alton f
Greece signed London The 6b Of july 1927 states
that the necessity Of putting end TO the unsry
contest which, by delivering up the Greek province the
Isles OF the Archipelago to all the disorders OF anarchy
produces daily fresh impedments TO the commerce Of
the European States, aud gives occasion TO pirscies
which only expose the OF the high contract
ing parties to considerable osses but besides render re-
cessary burdensome Of protection and repre-
son l. then states that the BRUSH and French covert
ments having received pressing reques. from Greece
10 interpose their mediation with the Porte and beiog
as well as the Emperor Of Russia animated by the de-
sire of stopping the eision Of blood and Of arresng
the eyis of all kinds which might arise from the continu
al ce Of such state Of things, had resolved to unite
their efforts and regulate the operations thereof by
formal treaty with the view Of establishing peace be-
tween the contendng parties, by means OF an arrange
ment which was called Tor as much by humanity as By
the interest of the repose OF Europe
The treaty then provides TART ~ that tn, three cor
tracing powers should offer their mediation 10 the Porte
by Join, declaration OF their amb issadors at CONSTANT
nope and that there should be made at the same time
TO the two coatending parties the demand Of immed
ate armistce. the preliminary condition TO opening
any negotiation. By secret article it was agreed be-
tween tho contracting parties that IT. within the term OF
one month the Porto did not accept the armisce, or II
the Greeks refused TO execute it, they should declare TO
that one OF the two contendng parties that should ssh
10 continue hostiliiies TO both II 1t should become
sary that the contracting parties intended to exert
eli the which circumstances might suggest TO their
prudence to give immediate effect 10 the armstcs, bI
preventing FAR is might be in their power, ell COLI
sion between the contendiog pariies and in fact would
CO Jointly employ all their means in the accomplishment
Of the Get thereof Without however taking any part
in the hosities OF the conendng parties; and would
TRANSMIT. eventual instructions to the sdmrsls command
ing their squidrons 10 the Lsyant. The Greeks accept
ed the rrffred mediation Of tho three Powers whIch
the Turks iecled and instructions given TO the
commanders OF the allied squadrons to c)mpe the ces-
sltou Of hosies. This Effected by the result Of
TIE battle of NAvarno with the occupation Of the horea
BY French troops
In tie case Of Greece the Intervention successful
because t was the interest of power to prevent IT,
L. was considered jus il bic, because the between
Turkey aud her Greek subjects cted injury to trade
aud was carried on 10 the most harbarous manner In
bs case Of Americs intervention By France and Eng
land between the contepdng parties Ill certainly not be
opposed to the interest Of any other power the con-
lrsry il will be greatly to the advantage OF every other
European nation No opposition need therefore be
leIred. So far the two cases are parallel There can
be no question: also, that the Confederates will gladly
Accep. our Intervention, as well armisce which
We shall commences by imposing upon the contending
parties as the basis OF our operations.
l. is beyond any doub. that this melancholy war in
the serious Injuries upon the whole civilized
world No dsnteresed person believes that It's prolon
CATION can result in the reunion Of the South with the
North or can any useful purpose.
II seems us therefore, that by putting an end to
this war IL need be even by another Navsrino we and
France will carry with the appreciation Of the whole
world and toe secret satisfaction Of every man in the
Norhera States themselves who has any thing loso-

Letting ones own government, lholgh denied for the
moment 10 tie Northern States Is still too much Ingram
ed in their fe lngs opinions aad Institutions ALLOW OF
tho fedea5 standing out much logger In refusing that
privilege TO their brethren in the South Oar govern
ment and that Of France will be called upon, therefore
in concord with all Europs, TO repeat what was done In
the case Of Greece and other places.
No one doubt our power, or ihe beneficial effects
Of such al Intervention, which In hecae OF Greece tai

tona Law themselves aud will in the present case be in
snict accordance with II.
