such as an italian invasion of Asia
Minor might involve.
1t is hard to see how there can fail
to be Italian resentment over the
new Near Eastern adjustment, which
leaves Italy still out in the cold so far
as any territorial advantages are con-
cerned. If the British guarantee of
Turkish integrity takes definite form,
Italian anger is sure to be explosive,
for it is a matter of common knowl-
edge that Fascist Italy looks to Asia
Minor as the field for future italian
expansion. On the other hand, if
Turkey joins the League of Nations,
the league itself would be bound to
act in some fashion in case of Italian
aggression and it, might be bound in
honor to act even were Turkey to re-
srnain outside, but to appeal to the
league.
Britain and France remain the
champions of the stadus quo in the
Mediterranean because both are sat-
isfied with things as they are and
hold the territories which they de-
sire. While they remain closely
united, as they now are, Italian aspir.
ations can hardly be realized at the
expense of either, and Italy resents
Britain at Gibraltar, Malta and
Cyprus as much as France at Ajac-
clio, Bizerta and Algiers. But with
the Turkish settlement, the Mediter-
ranean question becomes European
again One should add, perhaps,
that it is likely heneeforth to prove
the most important question facing
Europe for at least generation.
Viewed from the wider standpoint,
T, the Anglo Turkish settlement Is a
very great gain for general pacifica-
ton. 1t is perhaps the first coherent
step in the actual consolidation OF
peace in the Near East. It not only
abolishes an acute cause for anxiety,
but in removing this danger 1t con
tributes enormously to improving the
general situation. One must, too,
pay a tribute to the supreme skill
with which British diplomacy has
slowly but surely retrieved situa-
ton compromised by the folly and ig-

Whatever opinion one may have
about the tactics used by the Dol
sheviks, and whatever one may think
Of state-operated industry, the fact re-
mains that under the present regime
Soviet Russia has already made
startling recovery.
Nearly nine years have elapsed since
the bolsheviks assumed power and
transformed Russia into the greatest
social and economic laboratory In the
world. Within the space Of these nine
wears the basis Of Russia's social and
economic life has swung through q
number Of important stages. But the
striking fact Is that the regime known
a. military communism is past and
gone. For all practical purposes. It
ceased to- exist in 1921, when the
Soviet government adopted the new
economic policy, known as NEP,
which was to influence every part OF
Russia's national economy.
Chaos Faced By Nation.
Al the beginning Of 1921 It became
evident that the confused and bureau
cratic management during the regime
Of military communist" had resulted
IN chaos. The lack Of coal and short
age OF raw materials, the deteriora-
ton of machinery and tools, the de-
cline In the quality oi Workmanship
and the absurdly rigid form OF organi-

Science and invention will trans

miah Smith Of Boston. In the future
they are to come, two by two, from the
Danube to the colleges Of this country
for an education: then they are to re-
turn to Hungary as torchbeaIers OF
American democracy. And all Of this
is to result from the presentation Of
500 900. which the Hungarian Par
lament unanimously voted to Jere-
miah Smith. He gave the money
back to Hungary and now Hungary is
arranging to send her brightest youth,
during all the years to come, to the
United States, in the hope that they
may get something OF the Puritan
character and willingness to serve
which has been interpreted to Hum
gary by Jeremiah Smith.
Not in years has more dramatic
story of unselfish service got into
print than this story of the modest
Boston lawyer. It was only two
years ago that he accepted the ap-
pointment Of the League Of Nations
as commissioner general for the fin
ancial reconstruction of Hungary.
The general belief was that at least
two years would be required to bal
ance the budget of Hungary. Jere-
miah Smith balanced the budget IN
six months. He had a loan OF the
League of Nations to Hungary OF
fifty million dollars to administer. to-
ward stabilizing the Hungarian crown
and balancing the budget. He spent
less than one-fifth Of this loan; and
now Hungarian finances are again to
be under Hungarian control, on.
