"These ar rangements should be in charge of tne League of Nations, which would make an annual report ot the situ ation.

International War Theory Is One Factor It is pointed out in this connec tion that a view now holding is that when any nation is at war. Its en lire civil population likewise is at war, therefore food and other sup plies destined for any civil popula tion may oe stopped If the enemy has the nArer to do so. For this reason, thorfj studying the problem Of the Straits assert that if war 00. curred between state bordering of Turkey, the latter would And it t ;i her financial interest to Insist on I tr.e straits remaining neutral, but on the other hand, If Turkey wer directly Involved in' a war, no stretch of diplomatic Imagination could foresee her going against her cwn military interests to permil neutral vessels of war or commcrco to pass through the Straits It is noted thst the freedom of tne- otraits once was considered necessary, especially in case ot a general war, with Russia lined up as a European ally.. It is pointed out now, howver, that in the event of a .new war, Russia probably wouia oe rrayca against Europe, In which rase -no matter what the treaty stipulations had been drawn up, tne western Powers would b expected to. place war vessels at the Aegean end of the Straits tu block the exit.

It Is estimated that to neutralise the Straits woulf require a permanent army of near 160,000. ' Amplifying; his plan for Lesgut control, lord Robert continued: "Any International supervision bf uie einiivn sur to be found impracticable. The League of Na tions will have to tin it -ith, , "rm,ld-,Ti!"ce": The '' i doing . even where it ha a given territory to survey, and it will not need at the Straits, any special neutral sons. i "In order to deal with the situa Uon, w ere obliged to cast our pre-war conceptions overboard- It is curious, but most people who discus the 8traits still think I.i tnna of eight years ago.
