Yet another treaty was provisionally signed on Tuesday, by the
representatives of Greece and Yugo- Slavia. It is a defensive treaty based on the present territorial division of the Balkans under the Peace Treaties, and subject to the Covenant of the League of Nations. Very important Conventions are attached. One is intended to settle the long-standing railway dispute. The line from Salonica to Guevgeli will be recognized as Greek, and Greece will pay for the old rights of the Oriental Railways. Guevgeli's station will be common property between the two nations. Another point now regularized is that each party will be solely responsible to the League. for minorities of the other party's nationals within the borders of the first. We trust that the League will show firmness in insisting that this arrangement as well as the old Minorities Treaty is honestly applied.
