entirely overshadowed by the new ones which the outcome of the war has thrust into the foreground. The effect of the victories of the Balkan Allies on the international situation, therefore, can hardly be regarded as an alleviation. The peace it has given to the peoples of Europe is precarious, while the preparations for war which it renders necessary are more costly and irksome than ever before. Great Britain's general aim amid these conflicting efforts and interests is the preservation of peace by maintaining as even a balance between the antagonistic forces as circumstances will permit. Hence hard and fast alliances-grown almost impossible nowadays, except in a case like that of Germany and Austria -are to be eschewed in view of the complexity of the interests of our friends and of the many powerful and varying currents that sway them. At the same time careful preparation, without haste or rest, for the unavoidable partition of Turkey, combined with honest endeavour to put it off as long as possible, are among the obvious duties of the responsible leaders of the nation. And in particular the utmost attention should be devoted to those indispensable modifications, national, international and territorial, which Egypt seems destined gradually to undergo, as well as to the dovetailing of the parts into the whole.
