These were the complaints over a period of a month, which were received
by the Provincial (Yugoslav) Government at Split. One has to take their
word for it that the list is not fictitious. I did not investigate any
of the cases; the Italian officers to whom I showed the list said that
they were persuaded I would find that in every case the person culpable
was an officious, ignorant N.C.O. The list is, of course, no more than a
fragment. At Starigrad, on the island of Hvar, I was told that from the
people, who were searched both on landing and on leaving, 40,000 crowns
had been confiscated, and at first they had been told that the money
should be stamped. A merchant whom I happened to meet during the few
hours I was at Metkovi['c] told me that he had gone to the island of
Kor[vc]ula to his brother and, on landing, had been relieved of 34,000
crowns.

AND HARSHNESS AND BRIBERY

In Asia Minor we have another disastrous example of the Allied policy of
allowing a disputed zone to be occupied _ad interim_ solely by the
troops of one interested country. The chronic state of war which
followed the landing of the Greeks at Smyrna, the atrocities, the
charges and the counter-charges, were investigated by an Inter-Allied
Commission of Inquiry; and their report, which was issued early in 1920
and
