The Allies had remained—here Sir Edward Grey confirmed what M.
Viviani had said on the same subject—in friendly relations with Roumania, who had "shown a readiness to promote their policy." Since Bulgaria had joined the Central Powers the interests of Greece and Serbia had become one. In the long run these countries would stand or fall together. Only through Greek territory could direct assistance be given to Serbia, and that was the reason why British and French troops had been landed at Salonika "with the help of Greece." The co-operation of Russian troops had been promised as soon as possible. There would be no departure from sound strategy in this new campaign. The struggle was one, wherever the decisive theatre of war might be. Sir Edward Grey's statement was irreproachable as a Mom(' of what has happened, but it did not convey, and was no doubt intended not to convey, any facts not already familiar to the country.
