This cession of Vilna lo I'oland, mailt* despite Llihunian protests, has been ill part balanced by the bestow al upon Lithuania of Memol and the strip of territory surrounding it. which before the war belonged to CSertuany and was taken from her hy th" Treaty of Versailles.

The Memel decis ion disposes of I he Inst of the kind taken from Germany as a consequen ce of the war. In the south of Europe the T:irco Greck War has finally linen liquida ted by u Treaty of Lausanne, which returns to Turkey title to Kastern Thrace up lo the Maritza River fend in addition gives Iter the railroad station on the western bank. Turkey thus, recovers all the European ter ritory h"ld at the-outbreak of the World War, while Greece continues to hold western Thruce taken from Bulgaria in 1019. i Far more important are the pro visions of i lie Treaty of Lausanne, which free Turkey from aH the re straint* of i lu* i?.?st in the way of couit* and ? apit til ?t ions am! !?-.<* her :..a>i?iv within her n?n house once more.

For the time being then, the dancer ot war over Plume is adjourned and it i? a gnat ga:n for tile p? ace of to- world. In the end it i- h ird to believe that the Southern Slavs Mill consent to be excluded from the Adriatic over a Ions stretch .of territory, where the population of all but the sea front is Slavlo. Yet, even accepting this view, it would he foolish to minimize the value of the present compromise. In recording the rains incident to th" se'iliiiK of many disputed mat ters and thus emphasizing the brighter side of the year's record, it !?? useful to call attention, also, to the fact that Europe in the past year has. been blessed with magnificent crops.
