"This is shown in a curious way by their refusing to call any European 'a white man' save the Englishman alone.

The German trader, the Italian and Frenchman all are, in their speech coloured men." After this appreciation of themselves the English cannot object to the present writer's view that they are non-Europeans.
Thus while the Eastern question is being settled while I write, by the expulsion of the Turk from Europe, England, who leads the cry in the name of Europe, is preparing the exclusion of Europe from all world affairs that can be dominated by sea power.

Lands and peoples held for centuries by Turkey by a right not less moral than that by which England has held Ireland, are being forcibly restored to Europe.

So be it.
With settlement of the Eastern question by this act of restitution Europe must inevitably gain the clarity of vision to deal with the Western question by a similar act of restoration.
The Western Macedonia must go the way of its Eastern fellow.

Like those of the Orient, the problems of the Occident for Europe are twofold--a near Western and a far Western question.
