THE SUPPLEMENT ~ GREECE.

Diplomatic dealings in Europe seem largely
10 be choice OF evils. Such Is especially the
case when the great Powers are disposing the
affairs Of some smaller one. The case OF Greece
furnishes an apt example. The great Powers
have not allowed the late belligerenis 10 settle
affairs between themselves. They have insisted
upon interfering and overriding. And they APP
near to have done so with view chiefly TO
their own gain 4 settlement Is said TO have
been finally decided upon which Will inevitably
be regarded as oppressive 10 Greece. The only
comforting consideration IL that II might have
bean much worse The least of several evils
has been chosen. As stated in diplomatic
phrases. an International Commission, repre-
senting the six Powers. IS 10 assume control OF
the revenues with which Greece will guarantee
The repayment OF the Turkish indemnity 10
those who advance It for her and also the
interest on her old loans. Whether that means
the entire revenues Of Greece or only such por-
ton thereof as she may voluntarily designate
for the purpose is not yet made clear The
presumption is that the latter Is the case If

table than most such settlements are though
not wholly commendable, as will presently be
seen. But II the former be the case 1t sim

sovereignty OF Greece and the addition OF an
other Poland 10 the map OF Europe.
Assuming the more favorable Interpretation

mart OF her revenues 10 the Commission. and
Il Is 10 apportion the sum between the sub
scribers 10 the new and old loans. The latter
point IL the one distasteful 10 Greece. She
some years ago arbitrarily scaled down a
large proportion Of the interest on her bonds.
Bluntly expressed. she committed reputation.
The present scheme. II executed will compel
her 10 pay the defaulted obligations in full II

being held IN that empire. Abstracty, there
is no Injustice in requiring Greece TO fulfil her
obligations honestly. Practically, the work Is

General Hut!n of the Panama Canal Company was
in Washington. and paid his respects 10 Senior
Reagifo before returning to-Paris NJ. Hutin spoke
with the greatest satisfaction OF the work being
done by the French company. and gave no intrla.

his conversation indicated full confidence in the
successful completion Of the project on the present
lines. Since then ". Hutin has gone 10 Paris and

taking any position with reference to
several features Of the Secretary's plan
which he endorses in it's main object.
A strong presentation of the Ha-
Waiian question is made, and Congress
is urged to take immediate action by
ratification Of the treaty Of annexation.
This message strongly asserts the
necessity for making the island part Of
the domain of the United States, and
reviews the advantages that would, il
Is alleged, accrue to this country by its
possession.
AS to Cuba, the message calls atten-
ton to the recent trend of affairs on
the island, refers to the scheme of au-
tonomy just offered by Spain, and.
after rec1tIng other developments in
the situation, reaches the vitatoonclu
sion that the existing circumstances do
not warrant u interference in the
affairs of the island.
Considerable attention is paid to the
question of reciprocity negotiations
with various countries in Europe.
Special Commissioner Kasson has been
working on this subject for some time,
and the message deals with some devel
opments Of the negotiations already
had, and expresses the hope of the ad.
m~inistratiOn to secure satisfactory re
suits in the future.
The policy of the administration on
this subject is outlined, and, reclting
the French campaigns as an illustra-
tiOD, the point is made that il special
concessions are given any foreign pro
ducts the United States must be given
equal treatment by reciprocal conces
slons.
The Alaskan problem is discussed al
some length and a plea made for con
g%ressional legislation, including the ex,
tension of the operation of the public
land laws and the granting of rights of
way for roads by which all parts OF
the country may be made accessib BILE.
