ly the loss of Northern Epirus or the
islands of the Aegean, which have been
Hellenic in history ever since the very
beginning Of history.
These circumstances explain Europe
an despair in the presence of the prob
lens of peace making. But" my
American friends argue, the league OF
nations will arrange everything. But
how can the league of nations reconcile
the Serbs to the loss of hundreds of
thousands of Slavs to Italy, the Greeks
to the surrender of nearly half a mil
lion Hellenes to Italy n Italy's new
ward Albania? And how can the league
of nations reconcile Italy to permitting
a new Slav state to rise across the
Ardiatic or to consenting to the crea-
ton of a Greek state, which will doom
all her hopes In the Aegean and on the
west coast Of Asia Minor, at the pre-
else moment when Britain and France,
aspirations, both in Syria and Mesopo-
tamis In Asia and in Egypt and Morocco
In Africa?
Then again, the American point Of
view, influenced by the fourteen points,
conceives that there is only one Just
solution and that such a solution. II
reached will close the debate. Unhap-
PLY there are frequently at least two
solutions conforming to justice as laid
down by the fourteen points and In
some cases as in the Bana, a situation
where the fourteen points have nc ap-
plication since self determination is I'M
possible as a whole, and IL the vote OF
the people Be had in the various dis
tricts, commercial ruin win result.
Finally there is the European point OF
view, which no Americans reckon with,
| the point of view of the French and
British. who have to face the eventual
ity of a restored Russia, the certainty
of a vengeful Germany and the grow
ing fact of a thoroughly dissatisfied
Italy, whose dissatisfaction grows out
of the rejection of claims she holds
just, which were agreed to by her allies,
but rejected by President Wilson, in
accordance with his views Of justice,
views which, in the abstract at least
cannot be disputed.
II Germany, Russia and italy find a
common basis for cooperation In up
setting the present settlement in Eu-
rope, where is the force coming from
to defeat them? Certainly France and
Great Britain cannot do this. Even II

Such briefly, then, is a conspectus OF

allies and necessarily prepared to trade
upon the differences and profit by the
mistakes of the Paris peace conferences.
There Is also a Greek complication to
be reckoned with. The Greeks and
Serbs have a treaty Of alliance against
the Bulgarians, n Greece claims the
old Aegean coast Of Bulgaria in West
ern Thrace. In addition, Greece has a
quarrel with the Italians affecting
Northern Epirus. the Dodecanesus ISL
ands with Rhodes n the western
shore of Asia Minor, including Smyrna.
Northern Epirus is Greek by right, but
Italy has prevented Greece from occu
