BALFOUR TELLS WHY THE TURK
MUST BE DRIVEN FROM EUROPE

. Other Peace Conditions of the
Entente Allies.

not for the moment at least concern
himself with the terms on which it
should be arranged. His majesty's
government entirely share the Presi-
dents ideas, but they feel strongly
that the durability of peace must large
ly depend on it's character, and that
no stable system of international re-
! lations can be built on foundations
which are essentially and hopelessly
defective.
This becomes clearly apparent if We
consider the main conditions which
rendered possible the calamities from
which the world is now suffering.

tional laws, but with no machinery for
enforcing them and weakened by the
fact that neither the boundaries of the
various states nor their internal con-
Stitution harmonized with the aspira-
lions of their constituent races or Sc
cured to them just and equal treat
ment.
Necessary Changes in Map.
THAT this last evil would be greatly
mitigated if the allies secured the
changes in the map of Europe outlined
! in their joint note is manifest. and 1
need not labor the point.
ut has been argued, indeed. that the
expulsion of the Turks from Europe
forms no proper or logical part of this
general scheme. The maintenance of
the Turkish empire was during many
generations regarded by statesmen of
worldwide authority essential to
the maintenance of European peace
Why, is it asked. should the cause of
peace be now associated with a COM
plete reversal of this traditional policy?
The answer is that circumstances
have completely changed. 1t is unnec-
eSSary to consider now whether the
creation of a reformed Turkey, mediat-
ing between hostile races in the near
east. was n scheme which, had the sui
tan been sincere and the powers united,
could ever have been realized. 1t GER
tainly cannot be realized now. The
! Turkey of union and progress is at
least as barbarous and is far more G.
gressive than the Turkey of Sultan
Abdul Hamid. In the hands of Ger
many it has ceased even in appearance
to be a bulwark of peace and is openly
used as an instrument of conquest.

diers are now fighting in lands from
which they had long been expelled, and

Preach Splendors of War.
Her historians and philosophers
preached the splendors of war; power
was proclaimed as the true end of the
state. and the general staff forged with
untiring industry the weapons by
which at the appointed moment power
might be achieved. These facts proved
clearly enough that treaty arrange
ments for maintaining peace were not
likely to find much favor at Berlin !;
they did not prove that such treaties
once made would be utterly Intellectual.
This became evident only when war
had broken out; though the demonstra-
ton. when 1t came. was overwhelming.

but the belief is expressed that they
