Russia Seeks Black Sea Exit

The Vienna correspondent of the Chicago Tribune says that “the cry for an exit from the Black Sea grows ever stronger and bolder in the Russian press. Rossinja, in an editorial, declares that the present moment, when England’s hands are full, is a propitious time for such a move, and says: ‘Twenty-five years have passed since the Paris agreement. It is time to forget it, and give our eagles of the Black Sea free exit into the Mediterranean.’” The Herald quotes this declaration, and says: “The stream of public opinion flows ever stronger in the direction taken by the belief of those statesmen who maintain that to neglect the present moment would be unpardonable.”
