in "A restored Turkey, the British will
establish Greece in the Near East and
by supporting Greece be assured of the
position of first friend. Moreover in
Egypt, in all of the Near East, Greek
commercial influence and colonies are
considerable and between the Greek
merchants and bankers and the British
there has always been certain measure
OF cooperation.
What Britain seeks in the Near East
is not possession of more territory, but
insurance against the occupation of
areas OF vast strategic Importance with
reference to the road to India md the
security of Egypt. This policy led Britain
TO support the Turk for many decades
and to fight the Crimean War. The
decline OF British influence Mt the Golden
Horn and the rise of German proved, in
the end terribly expensive to the British.
English public sentiment is strongly
against any further support of the Turk
but Britain must retain the position the
war has won her IN the Near East and
she can do this most cheaply and salts
factorily by supporting the Greeks, the
more so rs in Venizelos the Greeks have
one of the greatest living statesman, who
has always commanded British respect
and support.
But after all is said and donc, this new
stroke of British diplomacy only recalls
all the old manoeuvres in the Near East.
Serbia was Russia's soldier, Bulgarian the
tool of the Central Powers, Turkey first n
British and than a German pawn. In
the end the Great Powers were enmeshed
in the quarres of the small and the World
War resulted. And If Russia ever re-
covers her strength and appetite, she
is bound TO seek TO oust the Greek. In
word, the Eastern Question has not
been solved, it is merely entering into q
new stage, wholly like the preceding.

recorder of deeds has become normal the
court ordered that the employment of 30
extra clerks therein be discontinued on
July Is, but empowered the recorder to
obtain sufficient help TO expedite the work

appropriated funds and ordered. the pay
ment of said sum to Joseph Anderson,
who is repairing the bridge.
