TIE UNITED STATES NEGOTIATING FOR AN 4EGlAN
ISLAND.
From the Pail Mall Guzette, February 27.
1t is said that negotiation is in progress be-
tween the United States and Greek Governments
for the sale of an island In the Bgean Archi-
pelago to the former as commercial depot.
We should be slow to believe that this American
project has any political significance.
The Americans have certainly no ambition in
the east of Europe; but there is no quarter Of
the world into which they are not anxious to
extend their trade; and there is no doubt that
the shores of the Black Sea, and even of Asia
Minor, present wider field for international
trade than the commercial navies of Europe
have as yet exhausted. America, loo, there
can be 10 doubt, is The ultimate consqaer of
many Eastern products which are at present
sent in transit to British and French ports, and
are thence reshipped TO the United States.
to American traders the advantage Of shipping
their goods direct from the original places OF ex
port; but IN order to organize movement of
this sort it has probably been found necessary
for the Americans to have depot of their own
In Turkish waters. What they require is simply
a safe and accessible harbor and good road
stead. Those who know the Cyclades and the
Sporades are aware that these requirements,
common as they are in our own islands, are not
often to be found in the Greek Archipelago.
Rock and iron-bound coasts are more frequent
there than creeks and inlets. There are, how
ever, exceptions to this rule, and no exception
can be more conspicuous than the magnificent
harbor of Syra.
That, indeed, is much too precious to be
haven may no doubt be found. One thing is
certain that the Greek Government will be very
glad OF the purchase money. If the resulting
increase of American trade should be what may
be fairly anticipated, neither party will have
cause to regret the transaction that is ascribed
to the two Governments.
