ALLIES DELAY
GREEK SHIPPING; N;
This is one of Most Serious
Developments in Balkan
Situation.
lBy..J. w. T. Mason. }


Action by, Great Britain and France
in holding up Greek shipping in their
ports is the most serious Balkan de-
velopment that has occurred since
Bulgaria's declaration Of war. 1t is
either an application Of force by the
Allies, to influence Greek public opin-
ion, or it is preliminary defensive
measure, due to q belief that King
Constantine intends to enter the war
on the side of the Teutons.
The principle the joint embargo of
the two western nations Is the same as
q declaration Of war against Greece.
1t will not be SO considered by the
Greek government however, unless
Constantine has definitely resolved to
throw in his lot with that Of his Inn
perial German brother-in-law. But
the effect may be to make Constantine
more stubborn in his limitations Of
Greek hospitality to the Allies and to
ALLEVIATE sympathy for the Allies
classes, who will suffer because OF the
new interruption to international
trade.
If the embargo is not a stronger
policy; 1t may for these reasons end
in serious disadvantage Of the Allies.
1t is probable, however, that Great
Britain and France are arranging con-
CerCeQ measures TO IOllOW upon Injury
done to Greek shipping. The visit of
the four leading members Of the Brit
ish government to Paris, accompanied
by their naval. military and diplo-
matte advisers, unquestionably has
been caused principally by develop
ments in the Balkans.
BY what means, however. further
pressure can be exerted on Greece by
the Paris conference, 1t is difficult to
see. The work before the allied
statesmen is to find a substitute influ-
ence for that which would be exerted
at Athens by a. victorious anglo
French army operating in Serbia and
Bulgaria. -:
Only comparative small bodies or
allied troops are in the Balkans Their
operations have been trivial and the
future outlook cannot be Immediate
iy reassuring, since the Allies are now
trying to. obtain Constantine's consent
to q retreat. Neutral nations, actuat-
ed wholly BY self-interest. do not ire
quently put their trust in retreating
armies. The work aof the Paris con-
ference, therefore. will rbe particular
ly diff7cult. t5 +5itas itss J, ,sf1fE
