WHAT IS ALBANIA?
/. Three CLAIM IT
Italians, Greeks and SalVs Insist
in Interest in Land Of Rocks

Corfu, Island OF Corfu, Aug. A.
Correspondence of The Associated
Press)-Just across this narrow strait
lies Albania, that no-man's land over
which Italy has just proclaimed q
protectorate. One can see plainly
from here the barren grey mountains
OF Albania. making q ragged line
along the sky. They lie very near,
hardly more than ten miles off, and an
optical illusion makes them seem
nearer Many Albanians are seen
on the streets here, the men big
bodied and rather fierce looking,
wearing their picturesque native cos
tune. With Albania SO near at hand,
this Is a good place to look into the
Albanian question at close range.
Italy's proclamation OF a protecto-
rate over Albania has thrown one
New Britain herald., 1917-09-07

in the spirit Of territorial extension or
conquest. Second, Greece would be
disposed to recognize Italy's right OF
military self-protection on tho Alban-
ian coast, as long as the doctrine Of
nationality is not violated. Both these
objects could be secured by an italian
Greek commission, which would
strictly limit Italy's military zone on
the coast, and not permit it to extend
into the interior. Third, an economic
agreement between Greece and Italy
would further assist in mutual accord
over Albania and the trade Of the
two countries in general"
The Greek minister's suggestion Of
a Greek Italian entente on Albania
may yet. become the solution Of the
problem, for it seems to satisfy Italy's
chief aim Of military self-deense, and
at the same time satisfies the Greek
aim not to have Italy make Albania
a field or territorial occupation and

Trumbic is former member Of the

sented the slav- Croatsi Of Dalmatia
He looks upon this whole region along
the eastern Adriatic as essentially
slav. with slav population at all the
ports and towns, and with practically
no Italians. Why, then, he asks
should the upholders OF the doctrine
of nationality seek foothold where
they have no nationals, no citizens.
The Slavs resisted the Austrian eff
fort to dominate the eastern Adriatic,
and they see no particular difference
in having the Italians dominate it in
stead of the Austrians. The natur-
al sea outlet for the Yougoslav state
embracing Serbia, Croatia and all the
southern Slav territory. is toward the
Adriatic. and while this outlet is north
of Albania yet the Slavs look upon the
italian protectorate over Albania as
one move in the general plan for Ital-

Athens. Albania is essentially Greek
territory. he points out, and is repre-
sented In the Greek Parliament by 10
Albanian delegates Greeks and AL
banians have long mingled together in
this territory until the two races are
practically merged. From the stand
point of nationality. therefore, the
Italian protectorate cannot be iusti-
fled. But the minister feels that all
countries having the cause of the
Entente allies at heart should seek
to reconcile their differences There

tente could be made based on three
principles, namely:

more problem into the European
patchwork which will have to be
settled at the peace conference. Just
now the question Is boiling here, and
at Paris, Rome and Athens. There
are three distinct currents-the Ital-
ian, which supports the protectorate
as a measure Of self-defense for
Italy's exposed front on the Adriatic;
the Greek, which looks upon Albania
as northern Greece and calls it Epi.
rus; and the southern Slavs, that
powerful and growing union of
Serbs, Croats, Slovaks and all other
Slavs Of the Western balkans. These
latter, the Slavs, look upon Italy's
protectorate as q move to encircle the
Adriatic and close out the Balkan
people from ever getting to the sea.
Albania's Opinion Not Sought
What Albania herself thinks OF 1t
no one seems to have considered. This
seems rather singular at time when
the great powers are talking so much
about the principle of nationality and
the right Of all people to determine
their own political destinies. The
Albanians are never heard from on
this question as to who shall rule
them, and apparently they care moth
ing about how it is settled. These
Albanian men and women who come
here are looked upon as docile peas
ants. incapable of having any politi-
cal aspirations or of the desire to
form a nation.
Albania appears to be the one
country abandoned by nature, as so
poor Is resources as not to be worth
deveropment or progress. It has
lain here for centuries, alongside the
great centers of ancient culture, mid
way between Rome and Athens, and
yet 1t is as backward today as it was
centuries ago, and the people are
as primitive and uncivilized as some
Of the wild tribes of central Africa.
In northern Albania the people are
savage mountaineers. There is moth
ing like organized industry or agri-
culture anywhere: no gathering in
towns and cities and the development
of society.
There is no such thing as bank
in all Albania. There is no railway.
Roads are the foot-paths of ages, or
the old military highways Of the Ro-
mans. Although Albania has an
Adriatic front rivalling Italy's, yet
she hasn't port or harbor from end
to end. And yet the Albanians are
q distinct race, with their own Ian
guage, but without the ability through
all the ages to lift themselves into
an organized state.
1t is this Indifference of Albania
itself, that has brought the rival in
terests clashing from three sides.
Coming through Rome, the Italian
position was explained to the writer
as follows: Italy has a geographical
relation to Albania much like the
United States has to Cuba, Porto
Rico or the Panama Canal. That is,
it Is the great power nearest to AL
bania, and naturally having the most
intimate concern in its future. More
over, Italy has an exposed coast
Mne on the Adriatic Immediately
across from Albania, and only SO
miles away at the Strait of Otranto.
Italy's eastern coast is exposed In the
sense that 1t is low marshy front
of having fortified port
from one end to the other.
Naturally, therefore, with Albania
inst across the way and very near at
New Britain herald., 1917-09-07

hand, Italy's action was one Of self
defense. This was particularly true
with italian military lines stretching
across Albania from Valona to Sa-
loniki. Military necessity as well as
self-defense made the protectorate
necessary But Italy has no terri
torial aspirations over Albania, be-
yond the defense of its own interests
The protectorate, therefore, is mere
ly temporary; and Italy will leave to
the powers to settle at the close of
the var what shall be done as to
Albania.
Protectorate Considered Conquest.
This Italian view is not accepted by
the Serbian and Slav element one
finds here. They look upon the pro-
tectorate as a move Of conquest di-
rectly opposed to the high aims pro-
claimed by the Entente, allies. DR..
