ITALIAN WRITER GIVES HIS VIEWS Luigi Barzini Describes Corfu Incident in Detail While all doubtless are following the Greek-Italy crisis with interest, It {s probable that the Itallan residents of the city are even more deeply in- terested than any others, except pos- sibly the Greeks, To this end the Herald has been asked to publish the accompanying article giving an ac- count of the Corfu incident. It 1s & copyrighted article written by Lulgl Bagzini, internationally known Itallan newspaperman, in the Corrlere D'~ America, published in New York. The item, headed The Truth, follows: A considerable part of the news and comments of the American Press regarding thq Itallan-Greek disputg appear so disoriminatory against Italy that we feel obliged to submit these few facts to the English language newspapers so that they may be able to arrive at a more equitable conclu- sion. We are merely presenting in con- densed form the official cables sent us from Rome, which would have clear- ed the situation and justified Italy's action, had Italy made them known to the world through a well organ- ized information service. But Italy is not acquainted with the art of propa- ganda, and therein lies her fault. The murder of the Itallan Mission in Greece which is at the root of the whole matter seems to have been for- gotten, The International Commission appointed by the Ambassadors’ Coun- cil to fix the Albanian-Greek border line had caused frontier signs to be placed on the ground. Col. Botzaris, head of the Greek Mission, had order- ed his soldiers to remove a few of these frontler signs. General Tellini, President of the Commission, made a formal protest against Botzaris’ action and as a result of such protest he was threatened with bodily harm by Col. Botzaris. Road Closed. On the day of the murder thé usu- ally much frequented road on which the crigne was committed, had been closed fo traffic by patrols of Greek widiers. The automobile bearing the Greek DMission, which usually prece ed the others, on that day remained behind and reached the spot one hour later, The Albanian Mission, which headed the party, reached the place where the work was to be done, and after having waited in vain for the arrival of rhe Italian Mission, who| had already been murdered, wanted to turn back, but was stopped by Greek soldiers, Proceeding to the 1earest Greek post, they were told by an officer that “some accident might hawe happened as th»re were brigands in the neighborhood.” Not until eve- ning did the Grecks allow tratfie to be resumed on the road where the crime had been perpetrated. In the meantime Col. Botzaris had disap- peared Let America imagine an American military m. the Washington government would ot exact from Mexico immediate satisfaction it did, by the way, on a similar oceasion, Ttaly’s Demands. sent an ultimatum con- demands. She has re- apology, a religious serv- ice for the victims, a salute for the Ttalian flag, honors for ,the remains of the murdered men, the apprehend- | ing of the murderers, their capital punishment and an indemnity. Greece has refused to comply with the last three demands, claiming that they are offensive, ,and the refusal has been followed by the occupation of the island of Corfu to be held in pledge. Italy has allowed both the Italian and foreign press free access to Cor- fu where the correspondents were landed yesterday and the first reports arived today concerning the bombard- ment The Italian officer who landed in Corfu demanded the surrender of the island, the garrison and all military stores, according to International rules. The Greek Prefect, a civillan official, expressed his willlngness, but Italy has taining her quested: an nourcing SreTsoN made and hand blocked, the Fall Stetson is truly the choice of the discriminating man.

He knew that by so deing he was making lhr use of force inevitable. No intima- | tion was given that the fort and bar- racks e oceupled, in part, by | refugees who would be in the line of | fire, Flees From Scene, * This military commander had no idea of resisting as s demonstrated by the fact that soon after the par- ley he fled in an automobile leaving the fort upon which he had drawn the fire, without first clearing it of its civillan oceupants, Compelled to fire, the Itallans re- frained from firing on the city, con- centrating their few shots on mili- tary ostablishments, which eclearly shows that.they meant no harm to the civillan population. The respon- albllity of what unfortunately has happened is upon Greece, And now to the question of why Italy does not defer to the League of Nations. The utmost care is exer- cised in order to keep the most im portant European questions from the orders from the governments to which | its members respectively belong and | beeauso it 18 not a tribunal independ- ont of interests and free from political | intrigues, ‘ An Unfair Court | It is an easy tool in the hands of those who control many votes in its councils, as, for instance, England, It holds out no guarantee of justice to those who have only one vote: their own. There is no court an earth where the jurors could be at the same time creditors or debtors of the litigants, or their competitors, or actuated by present or past motives of likes or dis- llke, who could derive elther advan- tage or disadvantage from the verdict, and who had already declared them- selves for or against an acquittal be- fore the trial. Similar judges would be considered immoral In any court in the universe. But the judges of the League of Nations are all of this: they are creditors or debtors to the Iiti- gants, they are their competitors or allies, they have had serlous quarrels in the past, and their verdict would directly harm or benefit them. More- over, in the case of Italy, by defeat- ing the Itallan candidates in the elec- tions of the Commissions, the League has shown hostile propensities in- compatible with justice, Italy is justi- fled in not accepting from such an as- semblage a verdict concerning solely | her honor. It is true that she has sign- ed the Covenant, but so did Wilson. | Should the league die, it would be re- | grettable, but it isn’t Italy's dignity | league, because the. league takes m; I, its piteous agony.
