In the discussion OF terms Of peace
between Greece and Turkey. frequent
reference has been made to Turkeys
demand for the abolition OF the capitu-
lations. These capitulations are the
provisions by which Greek subjects
resident in Turkey share with the
subjects Of other independent powers
the right TO appeal from Turkish trib-
unals to their own consular courts.
There are several million Greeks living
In different parts of the Turkish en-
pire. and among them are many active
business men. and some OF large means.
Turkish courts are notoriously oppres-
Nve and corrupt, and It would be n
serious matter TO these millions OF
Greeks II they were left without appeal
from their jurisdiction.
