Servia should be assured a route 10 81

when she will have arranged common
frontiers with Greece while maintaining
amicable relations with Bulgaria.
The situation may change. said the
minister. without Servias fault as in
the time of the annexation OF Bosnia

surround Servia and force her to accept
conditions which they may dictate 10

VI. Pashitsch insisted that the partition Of
territory conquered from Turkey could
not be executed according to the char
acter OF the population. IL being under
stood that the population OF Macedonia
wa. too mixed and hence without fixed
ethical unity. 1t was that fact that had
suggested a Macedonian autonomy based
on the principle Of communal self-gov-
eminent.
Bulgaria cannot exact the partition ~
territory BY virtue OF the ethnogra phical
principle. for she would
photographic thus abandon Adrian
p~:,. ople, a part OF Thrace
and the littoral Of the
Aegean aea. Because OF Servia's losses
Bulgaria cannot refuse to her the right
to keep a part OF the Slav territories.

Serbo- Bulgarian pact was proved hN the
fact that during the pourparlers concern
ing the autonomy OF Albania and the
evacuation by the Servan troops of the
Adriatic littoral "Servia was offered All
the valley of the Nardar with Salon!ki
if she would voluntarily abandon the
Adratic littoral.' Servia refused that
offer. Notwithstanding it was very advan-
tageous for her. but it was most disad-
vantaseous To the interests OF the allies.
Servia was told also that her interests
did not lie with the Bulgarians and that
she should not give aid to

hearken to this counsel. for she con-
WINGED that her loyal aid. although not
obligatory. would be recognized and rec
ompensed. In conclusion the minister
maintained that Servia was always on
the side of her allies. and In asking re-
vision of the Serbo- Bulgarian treaty Ser
via was actuated by the same friendly
sentiments.
The duty of the four allies was TO reeu-
late between themselves unitedly all
questions, including those OF territories.

upon firmer basis.
