To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If, however, more general considerations make this solution impossible we venture to submit that it is not too much to ask for an autonomous regime analogous to that which formerly worked so successfully in the Lebanon, with an European governor, local self-government and local gendarmerie under European organizers. Such a regime could alone secure to the Greeks of Pontus the elementary conditions of a decent human existence. Further, such a regime could alone make possible the repatriation of ...the Pontus Greeks scattered over Southern Russia and Caucasia and totalling well over 200, 000, in- cluding some 60, 000 who fled from the country under stress of persecution during the War. A bitter experience of five centuries has convinced us of the worthlessness in Turkey of paper reforms and paper guarantees. European pressure on the Sublime Porte is of little avail to protect the far away Greek populations of Pontus who have compromised 5 themselves in Turkish eyes by the assistance given by them to the Allies in their attempt to reconstitute the Caucasian front on the collapse of Russia (in 1918) and by their sub- sequent demand for autonomy.
