3 THE SUNDAY OREGONIAJf, PORTLAND, SEPTEMBER 24, 1923 ALL TURK DEMANDS GRAWTEDBY ALLIES Early Peace Conference Is Requested. TERMS SENT TO KEMAL British Reversal of Policy Is Re garded as Great Victory for French Diplomacy. (Continued From First Page.) surprise, for as late as noon British officials declared that Great Britain would not approve any of the Turk ish claims in advance of the peace conference. .. French Diplomacy Wins. The change in this policy came in the afternoon exchange of many messages between Lord Curzon and Premier Lloyd George and several long telephone conversations which delayed the final cession from 2 o'clock to 4. , Although the British tonight in sist that the chief demand, mainly freedom of the straits, is embodied In the - conditions, it is generally conceded that this unanimous deci sion marks a reversal of policy on the part of Great Britain and 13 considered here a victory for French diplomacy. M. Poincare expressed the belief that the near east crisis la over and that all danger of a dash is past. - Cfaanak Likely to Be Held. It is assumed that the British troops will remain at Chanak pend ing the peace conference. A broad neutral zone will divide eastern Thrace fnpm Greece and Bulgaria in the treaty terms, which will be decided at the conference. Both Jugo-Slavia and Rumania insisted upon this provision before they con sented to the return of Turkey to Europe, although It Is not men tioned in the note. It Is thought probable that the Turkish military forces In Thrace and Adrianople will be rigidly limited and that the strict est guarantees will be exacted for the Greek minorities in these places. The probability of a Turkish at tack on the British position at Cha nak was given as the reason why the joint note was cabled immediate ly after the conference tonight. M. Poincare informed Lord Curzon that with the allied decision granting the Turkish claims in the hands of Ke roal Pasha the nationalists' leader could Influence his warlike asso elates to await calmly the outcome of the peace conference. JVentral Zone Demanded. The last minute abandonment by Great Britain of her position was due, it was believed, to a desire to avoid war, which many British of ficials, both at home and in the near east, regarded as likely. Pres Bure from British labor, which was united against hostilities in the near east, is also thought to have played no small part in the decision of the British government. Having effectively obtained in the decision freedom of the straits Great Britain is said rto have reasoned that to insure peace in the near east it would be better not to with hold any longer Turkish aspirations to a foothold in Europe, provided ample guarantees were exacted which would prevent a Turkish Bulgarian alliance directed against the Balkan countries. While agreeing virtually to all the ' Turkish claims. Lord -Curzon insisted upon preservation of the neutral zones on the Asiatic side of the straits. The pledge is ex acted from Kemal to observe these zones and not to cross the straits or the Sea of Marmora until peace is signed. The previous contention of Great Britain that allied troops should continue to occupy Gallipoli is not mentioned in the note, but it is probable that a small allied force will remain temporarily on the peninsula. Greek Forces to Retire. The Greek forces are to retire from eastern Thrace and Adrianople to a line to be fixed by the allied generals in agreement with the Greek and Turkish military au thorities. The meeting to arrange an armistice is expected to be held at Mudania within a few,, days. Admission of Turkey to the league of nations, which the allies pledge themselves to support, is not ex pected until the assembly meeting of next year. Complete agreement by M. Poin care,. Lord Curzon and Count Sferza was readied after a three and a half hour session. It is considered the more surprising because of the virtual decision last night that separate notes would have to be sent to the Angora government for the reason that Great Britain was not willing to bind herself in ad Vance to any definite terms suffi cient to attract Kernel Pasha to a peace conference. The phraseology of that part of the note regarding Thrace is com mented upon, as it sets forth that the three . governments "view with favor the desire of Turkey to re cover Thrace," but conditioned on this is the promise of Turkey not to send troops into the neutral zone until the peace conference. Following is the text of the joint note to Mustapha Kemal Pasha: "The three allied governments ask the government of the national grand assembly to be good enough to let them know if it is disposed to send without delay representatives with full powers to a meeting to be held at Venice or elsewhere and to which will be invited also, with the representatives of Turkey, plenipotentaries of Great Britain, France, Italy, Japan, Rumania, Jugo-Slavia and Greece. Early Meeting Desired. This meeting will take "place as soon as necessary arrangements are made by the governments con cerned. The object of this meeting will be to , negotiate and consoli date a final treaty of peace between Turkey, Greece and the allied pow ers. "The three governments take this opportunity to declare that they view with favor the desire of Tur key to recover Thrace as far as the river JJaritza and including Adrian ople. "On condition that the Angora government does not send armies during the peace negotiations into zones the provisional neutrality of which has been proclaimed by the allied governments the three gov ernments will willingly support at the conference contributions of these frontiers to Turkey, it being understood that steps will be taken in common agreement in the treaty to safeguard the Interests of Turkey and her neighbors; to demilitarize with a view to the maintenance of peace in certain zones to be fixed; to obtain peaceful and orderly re establishment of Turkey's authority, and finally to assure effectively under the league of nations main- tenance of the freedom of the Dar danelles, the sea 01 Marmora ana the Bosphorus, as well as protection of religious and racial minorities. League Admission Favored. "For the rest the three allied gov ernments will willingly support the admission of Turkey to the league of nations. They are in agreement in reaffirming their assurance, given in March last, that they will with draw their troops from Constanti nople as soon as the treaty of peace has entered' Into force. "The three allied governments will use their influence to procure before the opening of 'the conference the retirement of the Greek forces to a line to be fixed by the allied gen erals in agreement with the Greek and Turkish military authorities. "In return for this intervention the government of Angora will un dertake not to send troops, either before or during the peace confer ence, into the zones of neutrality which have been previously declared and not to oross the sea of Marmora. In order to fix -the above mentioned line a meeting might immediately take place "between Kemal Pasha and the allied generals at Mudania. The allied governments are con vinced that their appeal will be listened to and they will be able to collaborate with the Turkish govern ment and their allies to establish peace, for which the whole civilized world s longing.

FREEDOM OF SEAS AIM Any Action of Last Few Days Said to 'Have Nothing to Do With Merits of Dispute. Restoration of Turkish Power in , - Europe is Insisted On. 'j BY JOHN CLAYTON. (Chicago Tribune Foreign News Service. Copyright, St22, by the Chicago Tribune.) SMYRNA, Sept. 23. (Via - Salon ika.) Mustapha.' Kemal Pasha has not changed his decision to insist on the restoration of Turkish power In Europe, despite the hasty prepa rations of the British for the defense of Constantinople and. the Dardan elles. The main, body of Kemalist troops, who defeated . the - Greek army, is marching northward to make liaison with the northern army at the line of demarcation of the neutral zones. His only terms are immediate evacuation. Turkish officers who left Smyrna today laughingly told American naval officers that they would see them in Constantinople In ten days. Kemal is remaining in Smyrna a few days longer before proceeding to the north f rorat. - He was in con ference with Fethi Bey on Friday. He still held out hope of a parley with the allies immediately, but would not cease concentrations while awaiting allied action. Smyrna still was smouldering after the fire started a week ago. SmokeJ from the Gary Tobacco company's warehouse in the center of town is a landmark miles out to sea. The refugee situation is being somewhat eased. Several thousand have been evacuated in the last week and it is hoped to send 15,0(10 out in the next 24 hours. The first bread ration was given out today. Until now raw barley was the only valuable food. The U. S. S. Litchfield arrived this morning and brought 50 tons of foodstuffs in the near east. Re lief workers chartered a vessel for transporting flour. ' The munici pality is urgently wanting foods of all sorts and has ordered 3000 tons of flour for the population and ref ugees which probably will arrive within ten days. The port will be open until Oc tober 1 for all refugees who care to leave, save males'between 18 and 45 years old. These are being sent into the interior. Three thousand tons of ammun tion and cargo, chiefly tobacco, is awaiting transportation., American business men report that the Turks are facilitating them in every way. The only shipping company operat ing as an American firm is the Griswold-Archbold company, which secured a gasoline towboat for life savers. They have requested the shipping board boat to call at Smyr na as soon as possible. It will prob ably arrive Friday. The Standard Oil and Anglo-Asiatic Oil company's plants near Smyrna are safe. A representative arrived this morning. The condition of the refugees is pitiful. Under the stern of the U. S. S. tawrence a small boat load has been hanging for five days. They are fortunate, for they are able to get water and food. A sailing boat which was loaded Witt refugees the day after the fire is still in port and its human cargo has received water and food only three times since the fire. TURKS INDISPOSED T OWAIT Kemalists Unwilling to Pledge Suspension of Hostilities. CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 3. -(By the Associated Press.) There is an apparent disposition on -the part of the Kemalists to accept Great Britain's new terms regarding Thrace and other disputed points. They -are not willing, . however, to give any pledges for the suspension of hostilities while the peace con ference is sitting. The Kemalists insist; said Hamid Bey, the nationalist representative here, on the right to enter Thrace immediately in order to liberate the oppressed Moslem subjects. - All we seek, he added, "is to maintain small forces in Thrace for psychological effeet upon the Mo hammedan world and to preserve order." It has been suggested," con tinued Hamid Bey, "that the allies could only permit us to occupy Thrace under the supervision of an allied control commission, but we cannot submit to such condi tions. We must have perfect free dom in military, financial and ad ministrative matters. We must move on Thrace while our Greek adversaries are impotent. We can give no respite; we have fought long for our present opportunities; we must now make them realities.'' LONDON. Sept. 23. (By the Asso ciated Press.) The policy of Great Britain in the near east is to estab lish the freedom of the Dardanelles under the supervision of the league of nations, declared Prime Minister Lloyd. George in a statement at a conference with the newspapermen this afternoon. Mr. Lloyd George in his statement said: "In view of the misapprehension as to the character of the difficul ties which have arisen in the near east, I wish to make a statement as to the actual facts and position. "I should like at the very outse to make it clear that any action we have taken during: the last few day has nothing to do with the merits or demerits of the dispute betwee the Greeks and the Turks. - - . Conference la Needed. "Whatever settlement is effected of either Anatolia or Thrace, that is a. matter for determination by conference between the allies and the belligerents and any steps we have taken to strengthen our mill tary and naval forces in the Darda neles and the Uosphorus have notn ing whatever to do with any con siderations of that kind. "Our action has been dictated by two supreme considerations. One 1 our anxiety as to the freedom of the seas between the Mediterranean and the Black sea. That is the first an primary consideration in directin our actions. What happened in th late war demonstrated clearly to the British Empire how vital th freedom of those various seas is to the security of the empire, to th protection of our commerce and to humanity in its broadest aspects Two Disasters Recalled. "The closing of the Straits agains us by a power which owed probably more to Great Britain and certainly to Great Britain and France to gether, than to any other power in the world, was an act of perfidy which cost us dearly. It , was di rectly responsible for the collapse of our most, powerful ally in that quarter of the globe and also was responsible for the defeat of Ru mania. "These two disasters had the ef fect of prolonging the war at least two years and adding enormously to the loss of life and to the devasta tion and destruction which it will take many years if not a wjwte gen eration to repair. It is an essentia! condition of world peace that there shall be an effective guarantee for the freedom of those seas in the fu ture. If peace were signed without the achievement of that object it would be equivalent to a defeat in that part of the world. i "With that object in view, the al lies prepared as the first condition of the armistice with Turkey signed October 30, 1918, the opening of the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus and securing access to the Black sea by occupation by the allies of the Bos phorus ports. We therefore regard the freedom of those seas as of vital British Interest and vital European interest. Freedom of Seas Wanted. "Therefore the first thing we had in mind in any steps we have taken in the last few days has been to insure that nothing be done to menace the freedom of those seas. and the world-wide interest of civ ilization. In doing this I would point out that we are taking no separate action but simply carrying out the policy agreed upon by all the allies in October, 1918. We have not departed one iota from the po sltion we took then, and in doing so we have not betrayed the trust which the British empire as a whole vested in us. "The second object we had in making a preparation was to pre vent this exceptionally horrible war from spreading into Europe. "I am not going to apportion the blame between the Greeks and the Turks. The time has not come for that, and it is. not necessary that we do so in order to explain or defend our policy." G. A. R. DEFENDS LINCOLN (Continued From First Page.) Smyrna Relief Work in Hand. WASHINGTON, 61 C, Sept 23. Major J. Claflin Davis, American Red Cross representative in Smyrna, today reported to national head quarters of the Red Cross that the temporary relief situation there was well in hand, but that the problem of caring for the refugees gathered at Athens, Saloniki and Kavala was rapidly becoming more.pressing. . Kemalist Revolt in Thrace Afoot. ROME, Sept. 23. A Kemalist in surrection is being organized in Thrace, according to the Messagero, to attack the allies in Constantino ple in the rear while the Kemalist army from Asia Minor is advancing, thus taking the allies between- two fires. Fears are expressed, said the newspaper, that Smyrna's fate will also be Constantinople's. Man Sees Wife Killed. SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 23.
