GENEVA, March 17.
Despatches received here suggest that a serious danger now that Germany has denounced the military clauses of the Treaty of Versailles, is that Austria, Hungary, Turkey and Bulgaria will renew their claims to equal rights. It is recalled that Turkey has always protested against the creation of the demilitarised zones of the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus. The Soviet Union, now Turkey’s ally, is supporting the latter’s claim to fortify the Dardanelles, which the British and Italians have consistently opposed on the ground that the Turks and Russians would thus dominate the Black Sea both in peace time and in war time. Hungary has always protested against being allowed an army of only 45,000 men, though she is surrounded by Little Entente countries which are able to muster 4,500,000 trained men.
