THE OREGON; DAILY; JOURNAL PORTLAND, OREGON. fUK THREATENS TO DECLARE VAR IT AGAIN BRITISH (Contianad From Pag On); .A -the allied representatives here unoffi cially. etaUnj that he was wining" to postpone the , eventual occupation of Constantinople provided that he was allowed to transrer troops to Thrace without the opposition of the allies. Furthermore; he intimated that should this be incompatible with British pres tige he was willing to allow the -Greeks to evacuate Thrace peaeefully. provided the province was occupied Immediately by Vrench, . ' troops who were to undertake to return Thrace fto Turkey as eoon as the Greek -..evacuation was completed. The danger in the situation, how ever, lies in the fact that the driving - power behind the Turks is soviet Rus sia. It is two years since the Bolshe- . viki concentrated all their efforts on ( this part of the. world and the Turks without their support would never have been . able to organize the army they have. It is true that the. greater part, of the Turkish war material is of French origin, but it was paid for by Russian gold and Bolsheviki gen- erals are still at the Nationalist head quarter. , vBOLSHETIKI URGE WAB All the information available here clearly indicates that the Bolsheviki are advising the Turks to keep up their belligerent attitude and are as suring them of full ' military support ' in case of - an armed conflict with Great Britain. They point out that this means a new Kuropean conflagra tion which Great Britain cannot af- ' ford. Should . this happen, they say; -Turkey and Russia will have every - ..thing to gain, while the British will have everything to lose. It is difficult to forecast what Kemal Pasha's next step will be. He . Has boasted often that be -would drive the British out of Constantinople. To back out now would endanger his own I prestige and position. However, he fully realizes the tremendous responsi bility of Involving Turkey in a new '-.war with Great Britain, and I under stand that he is trying to obtain ..everything by diplomatic means re gardless of the opinion of his staff that Great Britain is unable to fight. TOUGH FOB BRITISH The British forces in the neutral ' sons are atill small, though rein forcements are arriving daily. Should the Turks attack, it is probable that the British land force will have a bard time at first to meet the Turkish onslaught. . On . the other hand, the fleet 'has ' been reinforced and is able ' to give effective support to the land forces. Besides two destroyer flotillas - and a light cruiser squadron, several r men of war from the . Atlantic fleet have: reached the straits. A large nam feer f airplanes is expected soon and the airplane ' Arethusa towards Constantinople.

The interview be tween Lord Curron, the British for eign minister, and Premier Potncare. which began Wednesday, developed rapidly Into a conference in Near East ern affairs with Ambassador Count Sforza taking part for Italy and Lord Beatty waiting in an anteroom as naval expert. Indeed, though the British dele gate is said to have come to Paris with full powers to negotiate a full accord matters ct such importance came up Wednesday night that he had referred them oack to-London. The next meet ing of the conference, therefore, was adjourned -until Friday. Presumably the discussion turned about the .Dardanelles but practically it must have embraced a variety of other subjects erode oil. for instance. Why do the British place such a great value on -the freedom of the straits? Is it because Constantinople forms a vital point in the. trade of the Levant? Perhaps. But what is the most im portant commodity passing Constanti nople? It is oil from the wells at Baku in the Caucasus, in the far end of the Black sea. The British Mediterranean fleet might be severely crippled if a hostile force of Turks cut off this promising supply of fuel at Constanti nople or Chanak. The only way to prevent it. is to come to an agreement with the Angora government and abandon Greece, On the other hand, it is difficult to see what vital interest France possesses in Turkey despite the talk about Syria. Money to meet debts at home is far more important and that can only be obtained by forcing it out of Germany., But one. perhaps, can be placed against the other. : By holding out at the Dardanelles, M- Potncare may be able to wring important concessions from Prime Minister Lloyd George re garding Germany. Such a bargain, at any rate, forms the subject of con jecture among politicians here. IEMAL'9 DEMAND CAPSES HITCH IN PEACE FLANS Paris. Sept 21.-MU. P.) The coun ter demand of Kemal. leader of the Turkish Nationalists, who now insists that he be allowed to occupy Eastern Thrace pending peade negotiations, has caused a hitch in plans for setting the date for the Near East conference. Britain, the French foreign office let it be understood, was the only nation holding out against this demand of the Turks. Lord Curson. British foreign minis ter, stated that he could not give an answer to it until tomorrow, after he had consulted Lloyd George. Following this consultation. Curron and Premier Polncare of France will confer. It was believed' that an Anglo-Turkish conflict is inevitable unless Curron is permitted to grant the demand of Kemal. Reports from the region of the Dar danelles received here stated that Britain was going forward with her plans of using force against Kemal if be invaded the neutral sone of the straits.
