THE BERLTN

The declaration of the British minis
ter of foreign affairs that the peace OF
the world would be subject to disrup-
ton at any hour il treaties we're to be
set aside at the within or caprice of
parties to them seems to have been
very generally recognized by the Eu-
ropean powers, and this recognition
promises to result in a scattering Of
the Balkan war clouds.
It is now proposed that the sigma
tory powers to the Berlin treaty be
assembled in a new conference for the
purpose of rewriting the Berlin docu
ment or making such notifications of
It as may be deemed necessary as the
result of changed conditions. The
new meeting of the powers will call
for a show of hands. 1t will dis
close, If pressed to a conclusion,
what influence is back of Bull
garia in its declaration of independ-
ence, what power is prompting Austro-
Hungary to demand the annexation
of certain Turkish provinces and
what backing Crete has for renouncing
the sultan and seeking an alliance or
union with Greece. All indications are
that the interested powers will seek
refuge in silence on those propositions,
thus leaving the Turkish question to
be settled by treaty, either by respect
for the Berlin document or by the
framing of a new and more binding
measure. Any attempt of one of the
signatory powers to show it's support
of IL of the disaffected powers in the
Balkans would lead inevitably to a dis
ruption in the concert of the powers.
That is automatically u~nthinkable.
In the announced program nothing
definite has been laid down except a
general agreement that Turkey should
be compensated for any loss of terri
tory hat may come from a readjust-
ment of alliances. The Young Turks,
who have succeeded in crippling the
s%ultan's hold, are in a peculiar posi-
ton. They can not demonstrate their
professed ability to maintain order and
a progressive government in Turkey,
as they have no diplomatic standing.
The best they can hope is that the
powers will not attempt to interfere
with the internal management of af-
fairs, but deal only with Turkeys rela-
ton with other powers. This, it is be-
lieved, can be done, thus maintaining
and preserving the balance of power in
the neal east and allowing the Young
Turks to go ahead with their reforms.
The sultan is in no position to resist
such a proposition and the adoption
of it by the powers would leave the
way clear for the dissolution of the
Ottoman empire, a consummation de-
voutly to be wished by all civilization.

where ne cannot deny that he approved
the Illinois programme.
Mr.. VOrys' approval was of a negative
character; that is. he did not say that

that Mr.. Taft and his friends did not
