It is obvious to us that events in Eastern Thrace
cannot be allowed to drift. Whether the Turks are allowed to return gradually to the line of the Maritza, or to return in large numbers as soon as possible, or whether a provisional gendarmerie is established, the Greek troops must be required to evacuate Eastern Thrace without delay, otherwise matters will go from bad to worse. As the shipping is in British hands, it will be possible to regulate the number of Turkish troops admitted to Thrace.
