THE RUSSIAN FOREIGN OFFICE
ISSUES STATEMENT ON THE
RECENT BALKAN DEVEL OPMEN1S

Petrograd, Nov. 8. P. M.-via Lon
don, 9.45 P. M.-The Russian foreign
office issued the following statement
with respect to Balkan affairs:
The reproaches in the German press
against the allies for violating Greek
territory are not justified The allies
had been invited by Greece to send
troops through her territory to help
her ally. She had even modified with
that object in view
"a change of cabinet in Athens has
brought about no modification in the
Hellenic policy respecting the passages
of troops, although it has resulted in
a decision to maintain neutrality. 3
We want strong and independent
Greece and we are ready to recognize
in her behalf the territorial enlarge
ments which she needs to this end in
Europe and Asia Minor. We hope that
force of circumstances will lead her
to the conviction that not only right.
but might, is on the side of the En-
tente.
THE relations between Russia and
Rumania which during the last decade
had been placed on the basis of good
neighborly relations and common in
terests became stronger still during
the second Balkan war and by reason
Of the Bucharest peace treaty. Ruma-
mia is a great country which has a
right to realize her national ideal
Russia has declared herself prepared
to recognize the justice of these ambi-
tons.
Several Rumanian statesmen rec
ommend action by Rumaniai on the
side of the Quadruple Entente. When
the hour for a confraternity of arms
sounds we are certain that the thought
will be shared by all Rumania and
that it will be crowned with the same
success as attended the last war with
Turkey.
THE Entente Powers from the be-
ginning of the Balkan crisis understood
the real game Of Bulgaria. and all their
efforts were directed towards avoid
ing fratericidal war between two
Slavic nations. These efforts met with
setback owing to the policy of King
Ferdinand, who, Notwithstanding he
is the sovereign of q Slavic peopIe has
remained German in sentiment.
