"PEACE . . . BUT WE HAVE NO PEACE"
gamut of southeastern Europe in his claims that Bulgaria aided in liberating Macedonia, Serbia, Yugo-Slavia and he states also that Bulgaria forced German troops to evacuate Greece. He even asserts that Bulgarian troops, joining with the British Eighth Army on Austrian soil, accomplished the liberation of that country.
These statements, on the record written by Bulgaria, are exaggerated to say the least. Bulgaria played the wrong horse in the first world war and she chose the same one in the last war . . . losing both times. Now she would have the world believe she played a major part in the allied victory. She claims she should pay no reparations to Greece for occupation of Macedonia, charging that the advancing Germans and the retreating Greeks did all the damage before Bulgarian troops arrived on the scene. Her claims are a travesty on the truth.
On the question of Italy, Prime Minister Parri says: "Today we see prospects for a peace treaty going further and further away. The Italian government and its people feel that the present armistice terms are becoming more burd^some. It is obvious that we will be forced to ask the United Nations for a military, economic, and juridical status. Military, to end certain conditions of the armistice; economic, to regulate our relations with other countries; juridical, so that we can enter the United Nations and have liberty of movement inside and outside of Italy."
As we continue looking at the European scene, in the Middle East,
there have been demonstrations favoring full independence for Egypt. Students several thousand strong have paraded the streets of Cairo with banners which read: "By steel, fire, and blood we shall get our independence." Pamphlets have been circulated stating: "The time is ripe for action. Rights can only be obtained by force." In Palestine, the unrest continues. Border clashes are reported from Syria and TransJordania as hundreds of Jews, seeking haven and refuge after enduring frightful tortures of body and mind, for ten years past, attempt to cross the frontier to the promised land . . . promised literally, not figuratively, and then the promise was reneged. Jumping into northeastern Europe, the age-old question of Teschen has raised its ugly head to cloud the relations between Poland and Czechoslovakia. Jozka David, who is the Deputy Prime Minister in the regime of Mr. Benes, says it's all settled insofar as the Czechs are concerned. The Czechs, he declares, cannot survive without the coal of Teschen. He added that while Czechoslovakia has always wanted to come to agreement with Poland "in a spirit of democracy and Slavonic brotherhood, we shall not go back on the question of Teschen. We shall discuss the transfer of Poles from the republic for we wish to give them financial compensation we refused the Germans and Hungarians. We shall put the Silesian question before the peace treaty."
The Russian attitude in the settlement of European problems appears.
