PEACF CONFERENCE DELEG 4TE FOR
ALBANfA VISITS QGDEN AND j
EXPLAINS BALKAN SITUATION,
i
Kipling's lines, "East is c-st and
west i weal and never the twain shall
meet," were again proven untrue'last
night when the Rev. Godfrey Matthews
,of the Firs! Congregational church of
thjB City greeted C Telford EriclMOn,
whom be had las- seen on thr steam
er Arabic on the voyage from Liver
I pool to Boston, Mass., in September of
(he year HUC. At that time Mr Erlck
son was returning wi-h his wife and
two eiiildr.'n from his missionary" la
bors in Albania, in which country he
had served for twelve years as on of
the missionaries 01 "ih- imen a
board, ;he Congregational society tor
foreign missions.
While enjoying a missionary's fur
lough, which is another name tor a
definite period of hard work made lip
of visiting ihe churches of the country
to explain ami promote missionary . n
Ideavor, Mr Erickson caused w le
rprend interest to be taken in tnntj
mtifh m . g i i.-d , n 1 thorny subjecl of
"The Balkan Problem." Beiore his!
furlough had expired the Europi tn
war had broken out and it was im-1
possible for Mr. Erickson to return to1
i his field of labor, but he returned as j
;near to the field as he could get that;
, he might be able to watch develop-1
ments and be ready to help in iht for
tunes of ihe country to which his en-'
ergies have been applied for so long, I
"hm the smoke of battle cleared awaj '
and the delegates proceeded to the!
peace conference Paris. Mr Erlck
Son was appointed one of the dele
gates for Albania, and from ihe con
ference he was delegated to espouse
the cause of that country at Washing
ton.
Tor the past month Mr. rick'.on '
has been visiting with relatives on Ihe I
t aiifornia coast and bas bar the op
portunlty of explaining the Balkan sit
uation before commercial and Rotary
clubs.
Speaking of the Albanian situalion
in a Standard reporter this morning,
Mr. Erickson said:
For two thousand years the Alban
ian race has been held in th3 strang
ling coils of a Cordian knot. No soon
er has one coil De;-n loosened by the
heroic efforts of this deathless race
than another has been tlchiened. So
that up to this hour she has never
been privileged to draw cne free
breath nor taste the sweet iTUits
national liberty. Her soil has been
"dunged with rotten death" by every
nation of Europe as well as scores of
others from Asia and Africa. War, ihe
sport of kings," has been Indulged In
more In this little section of ihe Bal
kan sthan In any other part of he
globe1. The strategic position of Alba
nla, lying a it does, across the great
highway over which the cast :"rom ihe
most ancient times has made :ts way
westward, gives it a political signifi
cance out of all proportion to its size
or intrinsic value, cooking westward,
it fronts the whole of Europe, and a
dozen capitals are only a few hours
away, while the Adriatic at its dooi nf
tords easy communication In every di
rection Looking eastward, its portals!
open directly on the great highway!
which leads to those enchanted lands
of mystery and magic, of wea th and;
epienaor, wnica nave own iue uue ui
kings and emperors from time imme-1
morlnl Alexander Ihe Great, Caesar,
Charlemagne, Charles v, the Hips-i
burgs. Napoleon, Geo.ge III. Will am
II, and scores of lesser breed have fol
lowed iheir stars of destiny over that1
course.
When Mr. Balfour recently ex-
pressed hts amazement at the persis
tency with which various powers were'
pressing their claims to Albanian ler-j
ritory, he showed at once his allure
to grasp the strategic element In the j
problem.
However, he is not alone in that fail
ure Acting on Bismarck's principle,
that "the whole Balkan peninsula is
not worth the bones of one Vomers 1
nlan soldier," European statesmen i
have treated the Balkan probiem with
contempt Nationality has been either
'ignored or accentuated to serve th!
political interests of the great powers.
'Nations have been freed or left en-t
'chained in the hands ol the Turks f or
j the same reason Boundaries have
(been fixed, not by the will of the iieo-j
! pie themselves, but as victors di"ide I
, rpolls; as for cxampk, the boundaie
'of Albania fixed by the ambassador's'
conference of London, 191.J, which left
less than one million Inhabitants with
in the state aud a million and a quar
ter outside all one territory, one nice,
one language, one common nist ry.
Nor is this all. Powerful propagandas

With the result that the people have
I been left to welter In BUCb poverty, de
I privation, ignorance, suffering dis ase
and cruel suppression of every laud-j
able ambition, as would touch (he
heart of a Pagan to pity. So (hat the
Balkans have become politically a DU
perating, festering sore on the body
politic of Europe the gre.in-t ian
ger zone to peace in the world," ' he
whirlpool of European polities.' or as
a senator expressed it the o'her day,
"the powder magazine." What wonder
that the last fifty years have bceii rod
with continuous bloodshed, that ihej
last ten have produced one revolution, I j
two Balkan wars and the world war. i '
These are the sinister facts with re ; j
fard to the Balkans well known to ev- j
i r Student of European politics. One!
would suppose that a pence conference j j
having all the reins of power In its i
grasp and committed with the graves! i
responsibilities ever reposed in human L
hands would apply all their wisdom,
all the highest qualities of sta'esr- an ,
ship, to the solution of the Balkan 1 1
problem On the contrary, there ;s
nothing to indit.iii thai lropan '
staesmen had learned wisdom from 1 1
the past, or were disposed to treat the
Balkan question any differently than i
they had done at the Berlin m ign . I
or any subsequent one for the last fifty
years. Among the commission appoint
ed to consider Balkan affair.-' but one
man could rightly quality as an expert
land he was there to safeguard the in
terests of Italy. Great Britain had a
i young man not long out of his 'tetns
I who had never been through the ual
I kans, nor any special student of its
i politics. Experts there were at Paris
j men who had passed t'reir lives in
those parts, whose names were known
the world over as authorities on Bal
kan questions. Not only were their ad
vice and counsels not sought, but they
w'ere utterly unable throughout the
!monthp. they were there, some of th:m
at their own expense, to get a digni
fied and worthy hearing before the
I men who were deciding these momen
I tous questions.
The secret pact which Italy obtained
from the allies for entering the war
gave her the Albanian port o Valona
md its hinderland in ' full possession,"
made provision for the parceling out of
the rest of Albania, either in ' neutral
ones" or gifts outright to Serbia and
Greece to equalize the "spoils " This
in the face of the treaty of London,
1913. signed by every one of theu I
England, Russia, France and Italy,
making Albania a sovereign state!
Shortly after entering the war Italy
sen' an expedition across the occupied
Valona, bringing some nurses with
I I hem to give it the appearance of a
relief measure for the civil popula
tion. This was the signal for Greece ;
to move forward in Epirus and sooner
or later all the rest, till six or eight
armies found fooling once more on
Albanian roil. With the retreat of the
Auslrians, the Italians and Seros r. d
each other to enter the evacuated ter j
ritory, sometimes winning only by
minutes, the one or the other. But for
Albania it was all the same; she be j
came a beleaguered nation from .
which no authentic voice has gone
forth to the world expressing the de-1
sire of the people for deliverance from (
one and all of its masters, whatever i
their name or race. A few days ago
this Item appeared In the oapi r:
"Albanian Revolution Against Itily I
Grows.
"The number of Albanians in renlt
against the Italian troops o( occupa-1
tion is growing dally. Several of the
Albanian chiefs who were opposed to
Essad Pasha are co-operating with hisl
partisans in an attempt to force the
Italians to evacuate. In spitr of ihe,
rigorous measures taken by the t i h 1-1 1
lans :o prevent ine transmission ol i
news concerning tin insui n et ion, it Is
learned thai a number of Italian pro
pagandists have been assassinated
near Kavaia and Berat."
Thus a little flame leaps up to the
view of the world, which if it would
read the sign aright, would know be
yond all doubt 'hat the smoulder rng
fires of revolt and insurrection are be
ing fanned into flame all over the
country. And yet the "big four" In
Paris were agreed on executing that
secret pact on Albania, confirming It
aly's possession to Velona and hinder
land and not only that, bui making her
mandatory power over the rest of the
country.
Just as Japan's secret treaty wiih 1
tho allies must be executed, givin." h t
possession of forty million Chi e B
D.nd incredible concessions besides fori
the services she had rendered the al
lied cause in "making the world ssfe
for democracy" (sic), so Italv, in di-
rod opposition to the unanimous will
Of the Albanian nation, which by all
the sacred rights of nationality Bhouid
be consulted, and also by ihe specific
rights conferred by the covenant of I

aver the destinies of this race, ihe
race. The situation is certainiv a piti
ful one. because it makes such a hoi -low
mockery of every lotty ideal and1
holy sentiment by which the v. . '.'
leaders summoned mltlloss of young j
iiur. to sacrifice their precious livt
But worse still, it blasts and blights
the precious fruit a wrecked world had ,
Hoped to reap from ihe ghasily blot d
Holds of death Humanity passing I
lurough such agonies as ii has aevei

the birth pangs of a sweeter, purer,
holier life, What Is to save it from

IIMMIIWIHI
As one w ho has spent many year in
the Balkans and Italy, who has a pro
found sympathy for the peoples ol
the natioss who have been vicfinrzed
so often and 80 horribly by criminal
politics, who above everything alse,
longs to see harmony and ccod-wili
aud neighborliness established be
Lween the Balkan peoples, and all of
them rendered happy and prosperous,
I make bold to propose a solutios for
the Balkan problem, as follows: Let
tho peace conference or the league
of nations appoint a commission repre
senting nations having no direct In
terest In the Balkans to study the
question of boundaries, not In Paris,
but on the ground, consulting the will
ol the peoples, ihe interests of eat b
and nil. their decision to be accepted
by the league of nations as t lie official
boundaries. (Because both Greece and
Serbia have expressed their willing
ness to submit to an American judg
ment, it might be advisable ,or the
conference io appoint an Americas
commission.)
Then for the administration of Al
bania, let ii be assumed directly by
the league of nations as in the case of
the Saar valley Let the governing
commission be constituted as follows:
Two Italian.-, two Albanians, and three
Americans, one of which will be ip
pointed the executive head of the com
missiou In (hie way Italy's interests
Will have ample recognition and pro
tection. Albania will hold the bala ice
of power, and the majority members
will represent a benevolent and disin
terested power, concerned alike for
the welfare Of both Italy and Albania.
The independence ol Albania BhOUld
be. recognized and declared and the
entire efforts of the commission de
voted to wisely guiding the natio.i in;
tho first steps ul a free national life. I
This involves for America DC respon
sibilities other than she assumes if she
becomes a member of the league of I
nations, and yet it gives her a friendly
and helplnc hnnd in saving a race from
destruction and laving the foundations
for a lasting peace In ihe Balkans
Millions of Albanian, beleaguered
with aimii within their own land or
" xjled In foreign lands, have fixed
iheir hopes on America to save them.
It is at once a great opportunity and I
a Solemn duty. The moral leadership
'of America has in these last months;
been sadly discounted, her role of pio i
' tector to the small and weak nations
woefully compromised, and here IS a
chance to redeem ourselves, tc "make!
good." and at what little tost7 What
' is America's answer? The writer
would greatly appreciate personal re-j
Isponses from the readers of ibis urti-,
Cle.
