East nationalism is encouraged in
Italy, Germany and Egypt, and the
soviet Russians are given opportunity
for alliances and suitable fronts for
attack.

in conservative successes, which means
strengthening of the British anti-Iurk
position, so that Lausanne will show
still more clearly the strife between
English and French interests.
