TO Turkey in her present distress seemed from the first
rather unnatural, for il had the ppearance of so much
aisinterestedness as was scarcely compatible with the
well-known aspiration Of that country. The mystery
has been solved by a Memorandum which tue Rou-
manian Government has addressed to the guaranteeing
Powers. The Memorandum is a long and elaborate
state document the bulk of il is an expose Of the
present unsatisfactory position Of Roumania, such as
II has become in consequence fthe Treaty OF Paris.
According 10 the Memorandum, Roumania has, indeed,
gained by the Treaty OF Paris a certain control over
her internal affairs; but she is destitute of all those
rights and privileges the possession Of which is indis-
penSable for the maintenance and development of
healthy national existence This position, besides
being a continual source Of agitation in the countrys
constitutes likewise a danger to peace which it must
be in the interests of the Powers to remove. With
a view t. remove this danger, and to enable Roumania
to get out Of this untenable position, the wishes of
Roum8nia are formulated in seven points. Six OF
these have reference to the relation Of Roumania to
the Suzerain Power. If granted, they would make
Roumania virtually, if not nominalIy, independent
OF Turkey. AS some OF the rights demanded in these
SIX ponts-for instance, the right Of coinage and OF
concluding treatles-haVe been already CLAIMED ana
exercised by Roumania as following from the stipu'
lations of the Treaty of Paris, the diplomatic recOgni-
ton Of them by the Powers would in some measure
be only the sanction and legGlizatIon OF o state OF
things which has already existed de fdeto, SO that, il
not l. the full extent, at least up TO a certain point,
the granting Of these rights TO Roumanis would
l~egitimize rather than alter the position OF RoumanIa
to Turkey. 1t is rather different with the seventh
and last point, which asks for an important territorial
c~ession-namely, the whole delta Of the Danube from
Iuttscha d~OwnWaTds. The ground on which the ces-
sion is claimed is the frontier line between Russia
and Turkey such as it existed previous to the. Treaty
OF Paris, and which from TUltscha d6wnWards ran
alcng the ST Georges-that is, the most southern
branch Of the Danube while when by the Treaty OF
Paris the Southern portion Of Russian Bessarabla was
annexed to Roumania, or, as the two Danubian FRO.
vlnces were not united then, TO MoldaVla, the line o.
frontier between Turkey and MoldaVia was drawn
along the Klia, or most Northern branch Of the
Danube. The Memorandum complains that, not con
tent with thus excluding Roumania from the posses
sion Of the only n~avigable branch Of the Danube, the
Treaty Of Paris even curtaied the possession OF the
kllja branch by drawing the line of frontier not, as II
IS customary with rivers, in mid-channel, but along
the left bank, 50 that the thrifty Bulgarian population
there, which lives in a great measure by fishing, Is
obliged to pay rent to the Turkish owners OF 1.-THE hsl-
cries. This cession Of the mouths Of the Danube
which Roum2nia asks in her Memorandum is, 1t need
scarcely be said, as much of a general European as q
Turkish question, touching, as it does SO nearly, the
whole navigation Of the Danube. AS the Memoran-
dun was only presented by the Roumanian Agents a
few days ago, there has been no resolution taken by
any Of the Powers, much less has there-been any ex-
change of ideas on the subject between them
