...affairs hitherto concealed rather carefully. It appears that Montagu, regarding the Moslem element as the dominating force in India, published a few days ago a memorandum of the Indian Government which explained the demands made by the Kaliphat, or Moslem movement; including the restoration to the Turk of Constantinople, Thrace, and Smyrna, and the submission of the holy places of Islam--Jerusalem and Mecca--to the authority of the Sultan. The publication of such demands just before the Near East Conference to discuss Turkey's position was regarded all over England as a grave diplomatic blunder; and the demands themselves...
...hand the Liberal party under Venizelos even if it be reduced to less than one third of the membership in the parliament, is a solid party with a definite aim, and under a tried leader. Territorially they not only represent districts that have gone entirely Venizelist such as Epirus, Thrace, Crete and the Aegean Islands but also a strong minority throughout old Greece especially the labor elements of the cities notwithstanding their failure to elect their candidates. If it comes to a parliamentary impasse which necessitates new elections it will be no surprise to see the Liberals in saddle again...
According to the latest modifications of the Near Eastern settlement, the Allied Governments have decided to deprive Greece of Smyrna, Thrace, and her other Asia Minor possessions. In resentment of this decree, Greece has launched against Turkey an offensive which has two objectives.

...cast longing eyes at the recent acquisitions of Greece. France--the traditional friend of the Turk--misses the privileges granted to her financiers by the old Turkish government, and is jealous of British influence in the Near East, particularly at Constantinople. The recovery of Turkish territory lost in Thrace and Asia Minor is the aim of both the Sultan's government on the Bosphorus and the Nationalists of Angora, who are capable of initiating no little trouble in the regions under Allied mandate. The pressure toward readjustment is strong: the future career of the French premier may depend much upon...
...note of his lecture on "Greece in the Peace Conference" at the Fogg Art Museum yesterday afternoon. Dr. Kalopothakes pointed out that all that Greece desired was the incorporation of some of the peoples of Grecian blood with the mother country. This would include Northern Epirus, Thrace, Westren Asia Minor, and the islands of the Dodecanese. Greece makes no claim to the territory of the hundreds of thousands of Greeks in Russia, Roumania, and elsewhere. Dr. Kalopothakes discussed the past and present wrongs which Bulgaria, Germany's ally, had done to the Balkans and to Greece, and mentioned the atrocities...
