The March
Of EUentS
VHE new Greek offensive, under

J.
fashion to belittle the Greek King,
Constantine is seeing statesman
and one of the ablest soldiers in
Europe. Had the allies followed his
sensible advice in 1914, the war would
have been won three years earlier
than it was. With such a com
mander, tried and proven, the Greeks
may defeat the Turks in Anatolia.
If the Greeks win, the Near East
will be under the joint domination
of Greece and England, which means
the eventual sole control by England.
If the Turks win they will domi-
nate the Near East and probably re-
occupy Constantinople, in alliance
with Soviet Russia. In that case,
England will have to fight for India
and her prestige in the Near East
will be destroyed.
There are all the elements of new
war of magnitude in this fresh war
between the Greeks and the Ana
tolian Turks. The situation is very
delicate and full of dynamite that
might blow Europe's peace to
smithereens.
On weighing probabilities of world
politics, it should never be forgot
ten that the Russians are an Asiatic
and not European race, and that
it is far easier for the Soviet leaders
to understand and to play upon the
psychology of the Asiatic millions
than for European statesmen.
Soviet agents are evidently at
work in Afghanistan, Northern
India, Persia, Mesopotamia, Syria,
Anatolia and Arabia.
There is unquestionably secret
alliance between the Nationalist
Turks and the Soviet government,
and this combination controls the
land routes to India.
This will explain the shifts and
turnings of British policy in the
Near East and in Russian relations.
Russia and Turkey now threaten
English interests in Arabia Minor
and English rule in India. There
fore Japan is encouraged to attack
Russia in Siberia, and King Con-
stantine is being supplied with Brit
ish money and arms and reinforced
with British naval assistance to at
tack the Turks in Anatolia.
The whole bad and dangerous sit
uation is due to the foolish destruc-
tion of all strong government in
Eastern Europe and the erection of
multitude of quarrelsome and in
capable, States on the ruins of the
Dual Monarchy and the Turkish En-
pire-both of which were bad in
many ways, but still infinitely better
than the present anarchy.

Lumber Association, Mr.. Davis told

were vitally interested in preserving

"If you smash the unions you
will have in their place secret, rad

directly to the revolutionary spirit
that is unsettlng Europe"

NEW YORK. March 16.-Dr. will
bur F. Crafts, superintendent OF the
International Reform Bureau has
agreed to halt his campaign for
a Federal motion picture censorship
law on the promise of the producers
themselves to clean house.
The armistice in the moving picture
war came after a two-hour conference
among DIR. Crafts and a.group Of his
fellow reformers, and William A.
Brady. president of the National As
sociation of Motion Picture Producers,
and his associates of the film world.
The motion picture men will base
their reform program on thirteen
points, reached at meeting on
March 5, covering the elimination of
improper, salacious and degrading
matters in motion pictures.
Mr.. Brady pledged Dr. Crafts yes
terday that his association would aid
in obtaining changes in the criminal
statutes which would make possible
the enforcement of the thirteen
points.
DR.. Crafts came to the meeting
with three proposals. which he in
sisted be accepted before he would
consent to drop the campaign for
Federal motion picture law. They
were:
First, the organization of women's
clubs in every community to boycott
theaters where Objectionable pictures
are shown.
Second, increase OF the police pow.
ers OF LOCAL officials so that theater
licenses, based on the thirteen
points, could be revoked for the ex-
hibitor's failure to avoid showing The
thirteen kinds of improper pictures
named.
Third, the creation of arbitration
boards to pass on disputed questions.
