{GREECE’S LOST
OPPORTUNITY
TO BE POWER
(By Associated Press!
ATHENS, Oct. 31—A dream of an
empire which would have made Greece
a ruling power in Asia Minor along the
route of the Orient came very near
being realized at the opening of the
war in Europe.
This has just been brought out with
official exactness In the mass of diplo
matic documents laid before parlia
ment, and In the statements by Pre
mier Venizelos and the Minister of
Foreign Affairs, M. Politis. Referring
to the territorial concessions which
Greece could have acquired at the
time, M. Venizelos said:
“I had succeeded in obtaining the
recognition of the rights of Hellenism
over Western Asia Minor. And I can
say without exaggeration that the day
I received the communication of Sir
Edward Grey speaking of very import,
ant territorial concessions on the coast
of Asia Minor, was a day of rejoicing
as keen as that when the treaty of
•Bucharest was signed, giving us Sa
loniki, Macedonia and new Greece.
“I who had known how small and {
feeble Greece was only three or fourj
years ago, saw the stupifying bound j
she was about to make. This little |
Greec had now succeeded ip occupying
a place equal to that,of the great
powers in the settlement of the fate of
Turkey which has been the apple of
discord between the European powers
for a long time.”
But as Asia Minor was a field of
German ambition and hope, NT. Ven
izelos said he had found himself op
posed not only by King Constantine,
but also by tjie army general staff,
which, he declared, "served a policy
purely Germanic.” And with this op
position, backed by the king, the op
portunity held out to Greece to become
a great power in Asia was finally
lost.
M. Politis, the Minister of Foieign
Affairs, gave some of the details of
these concessions, and told how near
they came to being realized in two for
mal treaties.
"Such was the desire of western
powers", he said, "to have Greece
adopt a policy mutually advantageous
to them and to Greece, that they de
clared to the Hellenic government that
they were ready to assure Greece, in
return for its co-operation in the war
against Turkey, Symra and an Im
portant part of the Hinterland.”
After a lengthy discussion M. Poll- ]
tis said, a double conviction was con
clude^. But at this point the army
staff intervened an succeeded in de
feating the plan.
, While these large territorial plans
came to nothing, yet their definiteness
indicates they may again be heard
from when the final adjustment of
the war takes place, for Greece is not
unlikely to have the same aspirations
toward entering Asia Minor, and the
western powers the same willingpess
they have already shown to give to
Greece a foothold on this rout to the
Orient.

| POCKET MONEY WORKER
MAV CAUSE LOWER WAGES.
(By Associated Press)
l,ONDON, Oct. 31—To find a solu
tion of the problem of what is known
as the “wonuyi pocket money worker",
a conference convened by the Womerts
Industrial Council is to be held^ in
October.
It is asserted that a large number
of girls of good family are working
in government and other offices just
for pocket money and there is a dan
ger of lowering wages for the genu
ine worker, particularly when the war
Is over.
The council is endeavoring to im
1 less on all working girls tile neces
sity of not assisting schemes which
would s^nd down the rate of pay for
those who are obliged to earn a liv
ing. It is anticipated that after the
war. there will be keen competition
for work and that employers wilf
take advantage to offer lower wages
where competition gives them the op
portunity. s

LONDON. Oct. 31—"After the var
Great Britain will have to face a com

writes the editor of the British Review
Engineering in his annual discussion
of trade conditions. Germany and the
United States he points out are the
most formidable competitors of Eng
land In the after-the war trade, say
ing:'
"On the one side Germany, well
^quipped, highly organized, forced by
defeat and debt to desperate exer
tions. spurred by poverty to accept a
small profit, anything to regain hei*
markets and her ruined credit. Un
scrupulous and grasping methods will

and financed as never before. Uc11
many haij only to pick up the broken
threads of foreign connections to sup
plement the home demands and thus
secure the output necessary fully to
occupy her large-specialized mechan
icai equipment.
"On the other side we shall find the
United States, better equipped and
staffed than any other industrial coun
tiy, overflowing with money, with the
highest credit and a home market,
and other conditions essential to a
low-cost production. Great Britain's
distorted industries, flanked by abnor
mal power and starved desperation,
demand, first of all definite and power,
ful government protection. - Unless
this can be secured her industrial lead
ers will have little encouragement to
undertake a programme of Improve
ment and reform necessary to put her
on equal fighting terms with America
and Germany. There is evidence that
this will be insisted upon and secured
for them.”

JUAREZ, Oct. 31. — A free bridge
from Juarez Ut El Paso has been the
dream of Juarez mayors for years.
Proposals to huild such bridge to re
place the old, wooden tool bridge have
been made, but hav» been {allures for
years. Francisco Villa proposed to
build a concrete and steel bridge be
tween the two border towns at his own
expense, but was called away by mili
tary duties and never returned to
Juarez.
Mayor Melehor Herrerra has again
revived the movement, and permission
has been obtained for the construction
of a free bridge across the Rio Orande
and similar permission will be ob
tained soon from the Mexican govern
ment. The cost of the proposed bridge
will be shared equally by the two mu
nicipalities.
