The Exchange of Populations between Greece and Turkey

During the last two years, I922-I924, there has taken place in the Near East an event of capital geographical importance, the effects of which are just beginning to make themselves felt: I refer to the exchange of populations between Greece and Turkey, which involves close on 2,000,000 people and greatly surpasses this figure if Armenian refugees be included. In the course of a journey carried out last autumn I had the opportunity of observing this movement in progress and of gauging something of its consequences. I would here explain in what this exchange of peoples consists, under what conditions it has been effected, and what consequences have already resulted.
