Paris speech, described himself as-the only Minister of any of tho belligerents holding ofiice since the outbreak of. war. -Therefore ho, war, competent to review the facts bold v. Roumania was crushed and the gates ol the East -were opened simply because if was nobody's business to guard tie- Balkans and the rich corn and oil fields passed to the enemy. The Allies had there committed an incredible blunder. We had sent forces lo Salonika, to rescue Serbia as usual too late. Never again must there be such an inconceivable fatuity.
