The English Cabinet Crisis And The Balkan
Situation

Situation
Though that the endangered Asquith Cabinet will re-
the shocks remain in power the crisis must
keep until decision has been reached the Balkans Formally
the cabinet crisis be ascbed to the English failure in the
Dardanelles, but the real much deeper
Because of the successful campaign the East and
because of the egom the various Balkan nations Balkan
longer controlled by Entente powers
Bulgaria has openly the side Teutonc allies
Roumana has decided continue policy neutrality and Greece
has refused till to the aid of the allies in Serbia
and thus to the help of the allies large This alarming Balkan
situation has aroused the English people caused the
cabinet crisis So long the the political situation Balkans
does not take turn favorable allies the crisis in Eng
land will continue But that there still some prospects
for such turn of events
There be doubt the sympathes of the Greek
people for the allies But the policy nations not controlled by
feelings and sentiments but by material interests The govern
men of Greece has way to come to the helm of the
aes because in all probability does not believe that such help
would bring good results to Greece.
The allies anxious to conquer Ccnsantnope with the OBJ
ect of turning to Russia Italy conquer Albania
but can England hand Consannop Russia and Avona
and Duazzo Italy without keeping Saonka for herself? Can
she hand the Dadanees without being herself
near the Dardnees These questions asked by Greek
men and answered in the negative If Russia gets consan
nope and Italy master of the Albanian coast England
keep Saonka in form another Now what the
of Greece be if her vital are eopardzed by such
three mighty powers?
Helping the allies by declaring Teuton and their
allies would mean for Greece contributing own ruin Butt
the Greek people the other hand sympathy with the
allies cause thus the conflict between interest and sympathy
evident Of nobody predict those two factors
will triumph in the end
For the Greece determined abandon her policy
of neutrality though England the island of Cyprus as
compensation for joining the Entente powers as long
Greece continues to observe formal neutrality she either
resist the landing of allied troops Saona come in conflict
with the euonc allies Furthermore long as Greece sticks to
her present untenabe position those allied already landed
in Saonka being paayzed their movements because the
Greek government must declare later that will prohibit
further landing Of troops and thus the present allied
armies Saonka from their supplies and from possibility of
getting renorcements The allied take such
possibility in consideration
Of the Teutonc allies will bring pressure to bear upon
Greece either stick the rules of neutrality and toprohbit
further landing of troops declare state of and the
Greece government might prefer remain neutral than go
The Teutonc allies will certainly Greece You can
not be neutral and the If you are neutral
must permit the passage of armies through
territory and continue you at war with
But the Teuton allies continuing their victorious
march the Balkans with the object of reaching Constantnope
and Greece has the certainty of emerging VIGOROUSLY from
against the Teuons she might lose Saonka the Bull
garians if she takes issue with them.
AS matter of fact the Greece General Staff is of the opinion
that the whole Gecan army put against the euton Bugarans
and Turks could the best stop their while and
proong the but it could not sophe march definitely The
Servan probably four to and is already
badly beaten at points, still continues stubborn de-

territory that favors the Serns only temporary OBJ
