P. 87. (y) Ibid. Pp. 89, 90. (r) Ibid. P. 91. (a) Ibid. P. 92.
186 RECONSTRUCTION.
The ' historic rights ' of Greece or of any other nation are of no value. Therefore Constantinople is now a res nullius, which must, however, belong to the people whose ideal now represents that of ancient Byzantium, viz. Russia (f). Turkey has not been able to maintain herself on the Bosphorus ; much less will Greece, a smaller State, be able to do so. If Russia cannot by force prevent Constantinople from fallin...g into the hands of Greece, she must resort to intrigues (u).
The only Powers that can claim to possess Constanti- nople are Austria, France, England, and Russia Germany has no interest whatever in the Bosphorus. Austria could only take possession of it by transforming herself into a Slav federation which she cannot do. England and France have no direct interest in the pos- session of Constantinople ; the only advantage to them would be to paralyse the normal development of Russian power they would thereby gain the right to dig a knife in the living flesh of Russia (x).
