(By the Associated Pr Paris, Sept, 28.—France’s policy in the Near East as laid down in the note she sent to Kemal Pasha joint- {ly with the other Allies has not been | modified by the overturn in Greece, it was announced \after. a cabinet meeting today. The French government is greatly concerned over the reported deter- mination of the new Gréek govern- ment to defend Tarace. Such a de- cision it is believed, would be cer- tain to react unfavorably on the Kemalists and the despatch of Greek forces to Eastern Thrace would al- m@;:t certainly be followed by a bel- lligerent move on the part of Turks in Asia Minot and disturbances in Constantinople.
