FIFTY YEARS AGO
RUSSIA AND BULGARIA J The interference of Russia in the affairs of Bulgaria was one of the .principal causes of unrest in Europe half a century ago, as can be seen from the following extract from the New Zealand Herald of February 25, 1888: "It is declared by the Under-Secre-tary for Foreign Affairs that the peaceof Europe is more assured than a year ago. This assertion seems father inconsistent with the massing of large forces by Russia in the vicinity of the Austrian frontier and the reports of the preparations intended by Austria to repel the threatened invasion. "The latest turn of events, however, ;;j: would seem to show that the movement on the part of Russia was intended to bring pressure on Austria and * so as to win their consent to operations in Bulgaria. This is shown in the note s* which the Czar has sent to the two ' German powers requesting them to advise the Sultan to demand the departure of the usurper Prince Ferdinand from the throne of Bulgaria." >
