Partition an Outrage

Local self-government has done all
that is good in Asia Minor from the
dawn Of history, before Greek records
begin to reveal facts, and we depend
on archaeological evidence. Conquest
and the dream Of empire are response
BILE for almost all the evils. The par

pean races. none Of whom has any
claim, racial or historic. to set foot
there, with the exception OF the Greeks,
outrages every principle for which the
war was fought and won, and it must
issue in ircalculable evils. The Ital-
iars in Tripoli some years ago had
some right 70 intervene because Tur-
key was an alien conqueror there, and
was a source Of no good and much
harm. In Aratolia, however, the Ital-
ians have no claim except what is
based on the Roman Empire. The
Greeks have racial right In parts, and

Turkish Misgorernment

There is no country so easy TO gov
crn as Anatoia. The instinct Of order
and obedience to law is settled in the
population, even in the new immigrant
races through contact with the older.
The country has been used for thou
sands Of years to this implicit obedi-
ence to law; and the tendency TO obey
orders issued by either an authorita-
tive power or by a person whose char
scter impresses the people is the most
outstanding fact in the situation.
Nothing, however, can be said in justi-
fication or palliation Of the Turkish
administration. It has grown worse
and worse as the centuries pass and
the last state is worse by far than the
first. Mohammed H., the conqUeror Of
Constantinoplo, was an infinitely wiser
administrator than the young Turks
He avoided almost all the worst evils
of which they have been guilty. ADD

misfortune as the young Turks IN
their last stage. They began well, and
if they had been wisely treated they
might have continued on better lines.

"HE Allies have refused the
plea Of Turkey for clem-
ency. This would render
discussions Of the mainte-
nance Of Turkish powef rather aca-
demic. The following account of
the nationality situation in Asia
Minor, written by Sir William
Mitchell Ramsay, a British author
ity on the Near East, and published
in "The Manchester Guardian" ap-
proaches the question in a spirit
which, although by no means friend
ly to the Turkish governing class,
tries to do justice to the mass Of
Turkish peasantry in Anatolia, as
the Turks call Asia Minor. Sir Will
lam favors the aspirations Of Ar
menians and Greeks, but opposes
the partition Of Asia Minor among
the European powers.
"To put the case in one sentence,
the vast mass OF Anatolia is purely or
almost purely Moslem. From that
fact must start all discussion and all
administration.

| These are very rare In . great part Of
the country. I have visited most of
them. They are rather more numcr-
Gus in Cappadocia and they are much
more numerous IN the district vaguely
called Pontus, toward the northeast.
I have seen two or three in Phrygia,
in Isauria and In Lycaonia. Besides
these original elements there are the
recent Greek settlers in business CEN
tres, both on the coast and in the in
land country.
ut has been suggested that this scat
tered Greek population would with
draw from the Turkish territory to
that which has been allotted to them
on the west. This withdrawal (Which
is impossible) would be a grave mis-
fortune. The power Of the Greeks in
the worlds history has been due large
ly to their instinct for colonization.
They never stayed as a nation at home,
but have been settlers in non Greek
countries from the beginning and they
will continue as Of old. The greatest
value Of the Greek lies in his settle
ment abroad, generally as trader,
sometimes as cultivator; have even
seen a Greek shepherd in the employ
ment Of a purely Turkish village. To
attempt to restrain this instinct is
worse than vain; II Is destructive of
the future. Most Of what is greatest
in Greek history springs from the in
stinct for colonization. II il tho func-

newspapers prior to the issuance of
t.le list of birthday honors showed
that, from December 6, 1916, up to
April 20 of this year the Lloyd
George government had distributed
i55 honors, Of which all but one
went to civilians. This state of af-
fairs gave rise to a discussion in
the House Of Commons brought on
by the introduction by Brigadier
General Page Croft of a motion
calling on the government to intro
duce a bill making it compulsory to
disclose the particulars Of party
funds. THE Daily Mail" in its ac-
count Of the discussion in the House
said:
General Page Croft complained
that under existing conditions money
from foreign sources could be spent In
this country to influence political
movements. The Bolshevists were
spending enormous sums in Sweden.
and If some of II was coming to this
country the people ought to know 70
which political institution the money
was coming. Lenine himself had divert

The first attempt TO carry out his

In 1882 Bakounin's teachings we're

The number Of anarchistic societies
was growing rapidly. On September 2s,
