The journal reproduces an article of the Greek newspaper “Ethenikos Qirikis”, published in New York. Its correspondent writes that France and England want that Toskëria to join the Greece. Against this was expressed America. “US representatives, emphasizes the Greek newspaper says that Korça, is the center of Albanian culture and for this reason it is not possible to separate it away from Albania.
