. New York, Ant;., 27. The anaoanee-
meat from Fans that the Thraeian dis
pat la approaching aettlrment and the
terms which are also foreshadowed tndi
eate that we are to haTe one more of
those Ttl compromises, of which there
hare been, so many in the past months.
Ai usual this is the result of an ef
fort to satisfy a portion of the claims
of two. 'contestants, for both of whom
the acquisition; of a part will prore but
an incentive for further effort to get all.
The territory involved ia the present
dispute- is practically all that was left
of European Turkey after the Balkaa
Wars, save that area reserved for aa
.'Internationalized Constantinople, pro
tided such a state shall presently be
created! Boughly speaking it may be
. described as the shores of the Black
and Aegean interposing between Bui
stria and the two seas.
Historically this territory was Greek
ia the Classical times, that is to say
it was field of Hellenic colonization
and culture. It was long held by the
Bysantlne Empire and only fell to the
Turk in the fourteenth century. There
after it preserved its Greek character, it
was partially colonized by Turks, but
Adrianopl and the surrounding country
still have a larger Greek 'than Bulgar
population.
. Ia the Srst Balkan War it was overran
by Bulgarian armies which fought their
victorious name oi ajuio Durgai uciwvra
Adrianeple and the thatalja Lines im-
'mediately covering Constantinople. Ia
the Srst treaty which wss made at Lon
don, and designed to settle th Balkaa
disputes Bulgaria acquired Adrianople
' and all Thrace down to the famoas
- Eaos-Mlfla line, extending from the
Aegean to the Black Beas, at these two
ports. In addition Bulgaria acquired all
of western ThrBee, including Kerala,
as far as the Struma Biver, Greece -q
uieced ia this settlement despite the
fact thaUmost of the population, so far
as it was not Turk, was Hellenic
Bulgaria Attacks Treacherously
' But Bulgaria was not satisfied and
ia Jane, 1913 she attacked both her
Ureek and Serb allies treacherously with
th purpose of taking both Balooiea and
Macedoala, that is, the portion of Mace
donia assigned to Serbia. She was an
succvMfulja ibis holly Prussian pro
ceeding aad as a result wss forced by
the Treaty of Bucharest to give up
Kavala to the Greeks, while the Turks
retook Adrianople.
Xow it is essential to recall this cir
cumstances because the argument today
raised, mainly by American representa
tives, that the Bulgar must have part
of Thrace, is based oa the assumption
that if this is not assigned to them, s
there will be another Balkaa war. Yet I E
whea Bulgaria had with the consent of j 5
tits Herbs snd tue ureeas ana ine loreea
assent ef the Turks, not merely the
territory now in question, but muck
more, when she had the two Aegean
ports of Dedeagatch' and Kavala, only
the former of whieh is now under de
lists, she nevertheless precipitated
Balkan War. S
. Further than this, when at Bucharest, '
despite her unprovoked attack npoajg
Greece, she wss still permitted to re-
tai Dedeagatch, she again attacked
Serbia and invaded Greece, this tims
favored by the treachery of certain
Greek garrisons. Again she was de
feated, but not until she hsd one more
been guilty of innumerable atrocities
which were simed at exterminating th
Greek population in Thrace. -
It will be seen, therefore, taat mere
is absolutely no foundation to ths ar
gument that to giv Bulgaria Dedeagatch
and a atrip of territory permitting di
rect aecoa to th Aegeaa will p re-
dads another Balkaa War. Whea shs
had Dedeagatch and Kavala into th
bargain ah attacked her - neighbors,
whea ah was still permitted U hold
Dedeagatch, sh mad a second attack.
What Bulgaria seeks is all of Macedonia
aad Salon ica, it was ta acquire these
that ah has fought thro wars, with
Turkey ia 1913 with Greeo aad Ser
bia ia 1913, aad finally as a Gsrmaa
ally in th reeeat World War. ,
It 1 aow proposed to give Greece
mock of th contested territory, but to
cut Greek territory. ia half by a aeu
tral atrip descending the west bank of
th alaritca to Dedeagatch. This is to
be placed under th control of the
Learns of Nations. But this simply
mean that if th Leagu of Nations
doss not garrisoa th atrip, if A men
can. British and French troops ar not
sent there, or if after a time the several,
Great Powers weary of th thaakless
task, then th strip will b th im
mediate cans of a new war between
Greee aad Bulgaria. -
This compromise is jusuxiea ny in
argument that Bulgaria must hare an
outlet upoa th sea, but she has two
admirabl porta apoa th Black Sea;
with Coastaatiaopl internationalized,
all th old difficulties du to Turkish
policy disappear. Moreover Dedeagatch
ia oaly aa opea roadstead, iaeapabl,
givea Bulganaa usances, of improve
meat,
Th trouble with American policy
here, aa elsewhere, is that it is based
upon th assumption that to deal gener
ously with aa enemy will make him
freiad, ao matter who that enemy may
be or what hi purposes. But in th
ease of Bulgaria we have had three
perfect illustrations within five or six
years of th folly of such aa assumption.
three times he has been allowed to
hold country, much larger in area tbaa
is now offered aa a sop and three times
he ha attacked his neighbors, still his
allies ia th first case, with absolute
treachery.
As a result of oar championship of
th Bulgarians w hava forced th
Greek to submit to Italian blackmail
aad agree to recognize Italian claims to
regions in Asia Minor in which there
is aot aa Italiaa and to whieh th
Greek claim ia incontestable, if th
Turk ia to b deprived of his sov
ereignty. At this priee the Italians have
changed front and agreed to eupport
Greek claims ia Thrace, but still Amer
icas oppositioa continues and seems to
be about to lead to a compromise, which
eaa have ao other consequence than to
foment Balkan rivalries and precipitate
new Balkaa Wars.
Why American policy at Paris is re
solved to sacrifice the Greeks to the
Bulgarians and the Rumanians to the
Hungarians passes all comprehension,
sine both races hsre been guilty of
more offenses against the principle
Amerieaa representatives are champion
ing, thaa the very Germans themselves
and have been the enemies of our al'
lies ia a recent war. The proposed com
promise, is then sn evil thing in itself,
doublr evil, because it injures a ineao
ly nation to placate a people, whieh will
never be' satisfied, as every one who
knows th Near East will agree, until it
hae reeonquored Salonka aad Mona
ster, as well as Adrianople and Kavala.
Giving a wolf a crust of bread to make
a lamb of him, is enlightened policy,
by comparison with feeding, a few
Greeks ia Thrace to th Bulgariaa in
ths hope of mskiag him a consenting
subscriber to the principle of ths
LtagM of Natioas. .' - - ;v;
