Radoslavoff (see p. 154). These correspondents,
in virtue of the undeserved credit given them in London, contributed
in large measure to delude the British authorities in 1915 as to the
true intentions of Bulgaria down to the moment when it stepped into the
arena at the side of Germany. From this grievous error has resulted the
crushing of Serbia, with its manifold consequences. In spite of these
plain facts staring them in the face, some incorrigible Englishmen are
still unconvinced. While they acknowledge the very great difficulties
of the actual situation of the Bulgarians, they nevertheless arrive at
this paradoxical conclusion that the Allies should make peace with the
Bulgarians and suffer them to retain their present conquests.
Be that as it may, this underhand agitation lately carried on in London
by a few but very active agents, has naturally been reprobated by
well-informed British opinion. The English who in April, 1916, gave so
warm a reception to the Prince of Serbia, are apprehensive lest a new
blunder should be perpetrated in the Balkans. To prevent that contingency
a question was put in the House of Commons on March 28th: “A member
asked for an assurance that Bulgaria would not be admitted to a separate
peace, and especially that she should not be permitted to acquire
territories at the expense of the peoples who have fought on the side
of the Allies during the war” (see _L’Œuvre_, 29th March, 1916). This
British resolution is in harmony with the interests, moral and material,
recent and future, of the Allies.
