which, with certain grim humor, the
Viennese are telling at their own ex-
pense:
The conference at Genoa had ended
and the delegates were packing up and
paying their hotel bills.
Lloyd George put his hand in his
waistcoat pocket, and in a momentloud
ringing gold coins were falling on the
marble table of the office.
Schanzer, Italys powerful minister,
poured out flood of silver lire, and
the obeisance of the hotel manager
was no less profound than that before
Lloyd George.
Bathou drew little Elzevir volume
from his pocket The delicate covers
had once inclosed stories, with dainty
pictures of Jupiter's matrimonial ex-
travagances. But now there lay be-
tween the covers, redolent of past
times, checkbook Of the Credit
Lyonnais and a gold fountain pen. M.
Barthou tore leaf out, filled it out,
set E.1 name underneath, and the angle

| alist Turks in their demands for the
revision of the Treaty Of Sevres and

cnce in this regard upon the British
government. The resignation of the
Secretary of State for India, Mr.. Ed
win S. Montague, in connection with
the agitation among the Mahometans
of India for the revision of the Treaty
of Sevres, is an excellent illustration
of how complicated the Near Eastern
problem is for Great Britain
BY the beginning of 1922 the Near
Eastern situation assumed the follow
ing form:
All three of the Allied powers inter-
ested in the affairs of the Near East
had reached-each for a separate set
of reasons-the conclusion that there
! is a need Of q revision of the Treaty of
Sevres. The Greeks, having failed to
crush the military power of the Nation

the brink of financial bankruptcy and
military exhaustion, found it impera-

London's Irish Society

In London Guildhall Yard is the
headquarters of company called the
Irish Society, which controls and man
ages estates and rights in Londonderry
and Coleraine. These estates bring in
an income of some $4,000 a year, and
the whole of the amount is used en-
tirely for the benefit of the district in
which the estates and rights are
located. This Irish Society is COM
posed of eighteen men appointed fropa
the London Court of Common Council
and six Aldermen, including Cover
nor, and Recorder, making twenty
five Londoners in all. The Governor
is appointed for fifteen years and the
other members for two years only, and
all these men are lords and oyerlords
Of Londonderry and Coleraine for the
period of their tenure of office.
Their holdings in Ireland include the
land tenure of most of Londonderry
and Coleraine and some fishing rights,
which alone yield nearly half of the
rO0'o0S A'ieo1 iIiSoiHc. ALI Cn3S money
is distributed in aid of local institu-
tions in Ireland and to. aid every de-
serving local charity of whatever creed
or denomination. The society also
owns and conducts several schools
which are inspected from time to time.
An interesting and difficult task dur
ing the next few weeks will be that Of
giving judgment ON damage done by
riots.
The history of the society goes back
some 800 years, when the City Corpo-
ration and Guilds of London provided
100000 toward a plantation in Ulster
and in return were granted certain
ground and fishery concessions. All
these concessions are now controlled
by the Irish Society, which is one of
the oldest organizations associated
with the City Of London and which ID
appointed by the London Corporation
although remaining absolutely indie
pendent in it's action,
Several times in its history has this
independence of the society been as
sailed. Charles I took away its rights
altogether on pretext Of mismanage-
ment, but Cromwell restored its au
thority, and though often challenged
It has remained in power ever since.

But NJ. Tchitcherin, through cloud

Conference Considered
Near Eastern Situation
Selling upon the excuse offered by
the need Of mediation in the Greco
Turkish War, the Allied powers called
conference of their Ministers of For
eign Affairs to consider the whole Near
Eastern situation. The conference met
in Paris on March 90, and after FIVE
days elaboration drew up memoran-
dunn revising some of the outstanding
features of the Treaty of Sevres. This
memorandum, signed by Lord Curzon,
M. Poincare and Signor Schanzer, was
dispatched to Athens, Constantinople
and Angora for their examination and
ratification
The Paris conference proposed an i'm
mediate armistice and the Inauguration
Of peace negotiations on the basis Of a
very fundament revision of the Treaty
of Sevres. This revision affected the
questions of the control of the Oar
danelles, of the status of Thrace and
of Smyrna and of the control of Con-
stantinople.
According to the Paris memorandum
Turkey is to regain complete control of
the Asiatic shore of the Dardanelles,
which constitute the entrance into the
Sea Of Marmora. The only reservation
is that the zone along the shore con-
stituted by the province of Chanak, as
we'll as the peninsula of Artaki Is to
be demilitarized. Similar conditions of
standardization are to extend to the
islands of Lemnos, Imbros, Samothrace
Tenedos and Mitylene, lying in the
Egean Sea near the entrance into the
Dardanelles, and to the islands in the
Sea of Marmora.
The European coast Of the Darda
nelles is to remain under the Greek
sovereignty, and is to be also demili-
tarized. except that the Gallipoli Pc
ninsula Is to be permanently occupied
by an Allied garrison, with its zone of
occupation extending along the coast
Of the Sea of Marmora as far as the
port of Rodosto. The navigation of the
strait is to be In the hands of an IN

lenges the Whole Allied Policy in the Near East
Turkey Adopts a Waiting Role
in Hope of Wearing Down
j Rival I'm Settlement

Gays 1t Is necessary to examine briefly
essh one Of these angles.
Turkey Has Not Ratified
The Treaty of sevres
| The Greeks, thoroughly sati.ae al
with the Treaty Of Sevres. proceeded
promptly to ratify it and put IL into
effect, so far as their part In IL was
concerned. Incidentally, Greece is the
only country that has ratified the
treaty. neither Turkey nor any Of the
Allies having done so. The treaty gave
Greece full sovereignty over Thrace.
and the Greeks occupied it and set up
there an administration of their own.
With regard to Smyrna the situa-
ton was more complicated The
treaty recognized Turkeys sovereignty
there, but required the Turks
to transfer their rights of sovereignty
to Greece, which undertook to set up
there local parliament, constituted
under the Greek government. This mar
lament was to be In existence for five
years, 1. e., until 1925, when lit was to
report to the League of Nations
whether or not it desired union of
the Smyrna district with Greece. The
league was then to require, if it saw
fit, plebiscite, which was to settle
finally the question of the status of the
territory. In the mean time Greek Gus
toms administration was to be estab-
lished for the Port Of Smyrna, as we'll
as the land frontier, though Turkey
was to have reserved to her a free
customs zone at Smyrna.
In her occupation of the Smyrna dis
trict Greece found herself menaced by
the rising power of the Renal Nation
alist government, which had estab-
lished its center at Angora, the capital
Of Anatolia. The only way open to
the Greeks to ward OFF this danger
seemed to be the destruction of the
Nationalist forces, and it was this
course that the Greeks attempted.
The war which lasted through the
spring and summer Of 1921 consisted
Of two campaigns. In the first cam
paign the Greeks were victorious and
drove Kemal's armies almost to the
gates of Angora. But there the Turk
ish leader succeeded in rallying his
forces, with the result that the Greeks
were defeated and forced to retreat.
The situation then resolved itself
into military deadlock. 1t began to
appear quite clear that the Greeks do
not possess sufficient strength to de-
stroy the military forces of the Turk

Social
France Calls for Children

The National Alliance for the In
crease Of the French Population,
which has its seat in Paris, addresses
"to all men of sympathetic heart" the
following pathetic appeal:
"Our birth rate is declining, our
fecundity is failing. One million and
thirtyfour thousand births in 1883
$4,000 in 1913-to-morrow it will be
100000, if we continue our rapid de-
cline; our fields will be depopulated
our works will close, our wealth will
be exhausted. We must have men; we
need children.
"While France withers away, the
population Of Germany increases an
nually by 100000 inhabitants, that of
England by 100000, that of Italy by
100000. We must have French men to
conserve Alsace, to defend the peace.
Depopulation means war, invasion,
ruin.
"ln order to make the whole nation
acquainted with the extreme gravity
of the peril that menaces us, and the
means to combat it, the National ALI
ance for the Increase of French Popu-
lation has organized a competition
intended to, provoke the composition
of a propaganda brochure, whose pub
LEGATION is 100000 copies and whose re-
production in the press will hasten
the progress and struggle against the
decrease Of the birth rate.
"a prize of $4,000 francs will be
awarded to the winner of the contest;
five prizes of 10000 francs to 1000
francs and forty prizes of 1000 francs
will be the rewards of the other COM
petitors to indemnify them for their
efforts. The jury will not know the
names Of the competitors; it will not
know whether it crowns the essay of a
famous historian or that Of a village
teacher, of great literary man or a
simple student Each will be judged
according to the value of his work.
tits, however, less Tor winning the
considerable prize than for serving the
country that all Frenchmen who know
how to think and write will want to
compete for the 'Priz Michelet for the
birth rate To find the words that
will enlighten the minds and penetrate
the souls, to cause the rising of
apostles, to lift up France and lead her
to her pacific work that will insure
her salvation-we appeal to all men of
sympathetic heart"
The competition is Endorsed by
Marshal Foch and the highest political,
scientific and literary notables.

Besides Greece, there was another
Allied power whose positions in the
Near East were directly menaced by
the rising power of Mustapha Renal.
1t was France, which found herself in
volved in rather serious military en-
terbrise in Cilicia. which had been
inundated to her under the Treaty of
Sevres. In the development Of her
Near Eastern policy France was
rapidly drifting away from the sup
port Of Greek ambitions that had been
given by Clemenceau and toward a
rapprochement with the Nationalist
Turks, even to the extent Of regarding
favorably the latter's demand for a
complete revision Of the Treaty of
Sevres. On November ID, 1920, gem

Venizelos and restored to the Greek
throne the former King, Constantine,
who had been deposed during the war
at the Allies demand for his pro-
German policies. This important
change in the internal situation of
Greece gave France an opportunity for
changing her attitude toward Greece.
