It is not a question of ameliorating the _Status Quo_. The _Status Quo_ in Turkey, irremediable before, is being actively changed into something infinitely worse, and this is being accomplished, behind the bulwark of Militarism, under the eyes of the civilised world.... THE ANSWER OF THE ALLIES. This is why the Allies’ aims are drastic, but it is also why they _find no difficulty in stating them in the full light of day_. Germany, who has not, like the Allies, met President Wilson’s request because she is ashamed of her aims and dare not face the reception they would have among all the free democratic peoples of the civilised world, will doubtless take what advantage she can of the Allies’ franker and more honourable rejoinder. In anticipation of such insidious manœuvres, the _Murderous Tyranny of the Turks_, both during the War and for centuries before it, has been set forth here for the judgment of the reader. FOOTNOTES. [1] The word “Turk” is here used as equivalent to “Turkish-speaking”; but of course only a fraction of the present Turkish-speaking population in the Ottoman Empire is Turkish by descent. The rest are older native elements, forcibly assimilated by the handful of Turkish conquerors from Central Asia.
