THE BERLIN TREATY.
A Paris cablegram of Dec. 18th says:
In his speech in the French senate, NJ
Waddington, the foreign minister, said :
81 am happy to say that, despite GER
tain hankerings for doing more or less
than the treaty Of Berlin, all the cab
inets, those having something to gain
rs well rs those having something to
lose by such d;vergenCes, have ultimate
y seen that the execution of the treaty
on all sides is the only way of
not jeopardizing the peace of
Europe. A large number of its
clauses are already carried out. As to
Greece, you know that the initiative
with which we are reproached is part of
our traditional policy, To give satisfac-
ton to Greece Is to remove one of the
most dangerous elements of the eastern
question, and it is to the interest of the
porte itself for the treaty of Berlin to
have some durability. 1t is necessary
that the territories restored to the porte
should be governed by it without con
slant fear of attacks, inroads, or revolts
on its frontiers. Turkey must be able
to set herself solely to the
internal reorganization and tinen-
cial adjustment and development
Ct her numerous resources in Europe
and Asia. This involves the reduction
of her ornaments, but SO long as there
are COllctNIll IHtlldCtS vi rev ON anu ulS-
order on her borders, in Greece or else
where, she cannot dc vote herself to that
task. This is why Europe is pressing
her accord to the rectication OF the
Greek frontier. | have positive assur-
ance of the cooperation Of the powers
without exception, and everything done
in favor of Greece will he through the
collective action of Europe, al the in
stance of France. We VIII enter into
no engagements, but will remain I'M
fettered.
