A New War i'm the East

A PPARENTLY with the approval OF tho
\ allied PremierS Greece is about to
launch hostlites against Turkey, as repre-
scented by the Nationalist forces headed by
Mustapha kemal, which includes all that is
militant in the empire rs It existed before
the European war. The Greeks claim to
have ready an army of 1000 with which
to begin operations. and they will be sup
ported by the entire British Mediterranean
fieet, the first squadron of which is concen-
trating in the waters OF the Near and Mid
die East for that purpose.
1t is foreseen that these warlike opera
tons may be the signal for plunging that
part of the world into a new bloody con-
fict, with the war between Turkey and
Greece rs the nucleus, and all Of the Balkan
countries quickly becoming involved. In
deed report is current that secret alli-
ance against Greece has already been con-
cluded between Serbia and Bulgaria, and
with those countries becoming involved, it
stands to reason that the separate interests
OF the powers in the outcome OF the strug-
gle would soon or late inevitably draw them
into the conflict on opposing sides.
Unquestionably, the situation presents
many threatening aspects. According to
the London Times, both Marshal Foch and
Sir Henry IL. Wilson, respective heads of
'hS iicHSH anu Military systems, dis
approve of the action Of the allied Premiers
i'll consenting to the proposal of Greece pre-
ciptating the war, and express grave doubts
OF the ability Of the Greeks to win a cam
paign against the Turks. AS defeat of the
Greeks would upset all of Britain's plans in
the East, they have no delusions respecting
the difficulties and cost of such a campaign
and foresee the speedy involvement of Great
Britain i'll u new war on costly scale
The British people are in no temper to enter
another war and British finances are not in
Il condition to withstand the severe strain
il would entail.
Having studiously refrained from using
the machinery Of the league of nations to
elect settlement OF the territorial and no
litical problems in the Near and Middle East
the Premiers of those nations signatory to
i; have gone ahead in the old way of bar
tering territory which does not belong TO
them. and in so doing have brought about
complications which are provocative of in
Vulnerable conflicts Of authority in the flu
ture out of which wars must inevitably
come. Greed has been the keynote OF all
OF their diplomatic undertakings, and to
make their bargains effective force is a
necessary accompaniment. Had Turkey
been put out OF Europe, in Difference TO
opinion in which the whole of civilization
concurs, and the plan OF the league of ma
tions adhered to in the disposition OF the
surrendered territory, all of the Balkan
problems could have been satisfactorily adj
Justed without any excuse for resort ia
armed conflicts
