BY VI. TAsAMADOS,
Charge d'Affaires of Greece Mt Wash.
in9tOn.

IN the excitement over the COM
potency Of the league OF nations
TO settle the Greeco-Italian con-
troversy, the fundamental causes
of the controversy itself are in danger
Iof being lost from sight.
Certain Italian officers have been
killed in the wild. mountainous region
through which the boundary line be-
tween Greece and Albania runs, the
assault taking place so near the
frontier that it might have been the
work of subjects of either country.
Up to the present moment, there is
no actual proof who the assassins
were, although there is every evil
dence they were Albanian subjects,
who, after committing the dastardly
act, escaped into their own country.
Without waiting for an inquiry the
italian government, knowing that
Greece was impoverished and weak
ened by her long struggle with the
Turks. made demands that no people
could submit to; demands even more
severe than those which set the
world afiame in 1914
Size Of Indemnity.
One point in these demands which
has had little attention in the United
States is the size Of the cash indem-
nifty demanded and what the payment
Of this sum would mean to Greece.
In the United States where every
thing is done on such tremendous
scale, two and a half million dollars
is not a large sum, whereas in Greece
today 1t means literally life or death
to thousands.
There are in Greece at this moment
million and a. quarter refugees, OF
whom about a quarter OF a million
are self-supporting and an equal num-
Der partly self-supporting, while tthe
balance are entirely dependent. and
iof this latter number almost 80 per
cent are women, children and men
past the prime of life. as most Of the
able-bodied men were retained in
Turkey and are only now being per-
mitted to come to Greece.
Today the people OF Greece are
bearing this burden practically alone.
The American Red Cross came to US
Immediately after the disaster at
Smyrna. but left US July 1. carrying
with them the heartfelt gratitude of
the Greek people. In the eight months
they were in Greece the American
Red Cross spent only a little more
than the Italian government has asked
/ US to pay for the lives OF five men.
and yet five hundred thousand peo-
pie were fed.
VIII Lessen Friction.
It is the hope of Greece that we
may be able to establish all of the
refugees upon farms and in indus
tries, so that We may make them
happy, useful citizens of our country,
and 1t Is evident that the concentra-
ton Of large majority Of the Greek
race within our own borders will re-
move one Of the greatest sources Of
friction in the near east, the mixture

Regarding the other great manu-
featuring industry-silk: Only part
Of this IS home manufacture. Thirty
five per cent Of the Japanese exports
are raw silk, and 81 per cent of this
comes to the United States. In 1922
the Japanese shipped $4,000 bales of
raw silk OF the total exports in 1922
the records show that on August l..
$4,000 bales were in Yokohama, which
represents a little less than two
months of our American mills con-
sumption. 1t also represents a little
less than two months imports of raw
silk into this country, where 80 per
cent of the whole crop comes from
Japan. 1t represents twice our stor-
age Of raw silk in this country at
the end OF July.

new NATIONS JOIN

Roll Now Fifty, With Several

GENEVA, August S.-Starting with

one surprise is the recent request
from Abysslnia to be admitted as a
member, as officially stated by the
league authorities. II is conjectured
that the African states desire to be
admitted Is due to adverse publicity
regarding slaves. Abyssinia states its
readiness to submit data regarding
the existence of slaves. Thus, per-
haps, membership is considered as a

Instances Of Chinese oficials nee

instead of waiting to finish the

to numerous to be enumerated. The
best instance of this was when the

in 1920 and a dozen leaders ran to

One Chinese recently prepared a
living in foreign concessions, and, ac-
cording TO him, thereby escaping
trials for embezzlement or some othe r

IL their successors were not ambitious
TO follow their example. they could

remains that the foreign powers offer
a haven where the fugitive can live
IN safety and comfort on his loot.
With ordinary forethought he usually

the system is that the political
