12. Were we to go by the budgets she should be capable of exporting sums not differing substantially from those already mentioned. However Greece already disposes annually for the service of her external debt in gold:- 1) In £ sterling 3,170,000 2) In French francs 22,875,000 She further has to provide for the service:- 1) of the supplementary refugee loan. 2) of her share of the Public Ottoman Debt. 3) of the necessary sum for buying out the Macedonian railways. We do not even mention the service required for the water supplies of Athens, the reclaiming of the marshy lands in Macedonia, the indispensable completion of our railways. A mere glance at these figures ought to be convincing as to the fact that if in the case of Italy it was considered that she could not be burdened with a bigger percentage for the repayment of her external debt, Greece should be considered as being already so heavily burdened that she is not in a position to carry further burdens for the repayment of her war debt and the whole of her war debt should be cancelled, as was done for Bulgaria and Turkey. But we should reach similar conclusions if we were to compare Greece, not with Italy but with Bulgaria whom it would be more appropriate and just to compare Greece to. Before the war Bulgaria disposed annually of 39,000,000 gold francs for the service of her external debt. And although she was obliged, in virtue of the

12. Bütçeleri esas alacak olursak, Yunanistan'ın yukarıda zikredilenlerden esaslı biçimde farklı olmayan meblağları ihraç edebilecek durumda olması gerekir. Bununla birlikte Yunanistan, dış borcunun servisi için hâlihazırda her yıl altın olarak şu miktarları ayırmaktadır:- 1) İngiliz sterlini olarak 3,170,000 2) Fransız frangı olarak 22,875,000 Ayrıca şunların servisini de karşılamak zorundadır:- 1) ek mülteci istikrazının, 2) Osmanlı Düyun-u Umumiyesi'nden kendisine düşen payın, 3) Makedonya demiryollarının satın alınması için gerekli meblağın. Atina'nın su temini, Makedonya'daki bataklık arazilerin ıslahı ve demiryollarımızın zorunlu olarak tamamlanması için gereken servisten söz bile etmiyoruz. Bu rakamlara şöyle bir göz atmak bile şu hususta ikna edici olmalıdır: İtalya'nın durumunda dış borcunun geri ödenmesi için daha büyük bir yüzdeyle yükümlü kılınamayacağı kabul edildiyse, Yunanistan'ın da şimdiden o kadar ağır yük altında olduğu kabul edilmelidir ki, savaş borcunun geri ödenmesi için ilave yükler taşıyabilecek durumda değildir. Bu nedenle, Bulgaristan ve Türkiye için yapıldığı gibi, savaş borcunun tamamı silinmelidir. Fakat Yunanistan'ı İtalya ile değil de Bulgaristan ile karşılaştırsaydık da benzer sonuçlara varırdık. Yunanistan'ı Bulgaristan ile karşılaştırmak zaten daha uygun ve adil olacaktır. Savaştan önce Bulgaristan dış borcunun servisi için yılda 39,000,000 altın frank ayırmaktaydı. Ve her ne kadar
