PARLEY WITH TURKS GOES OVER 70 207H & CONSTANTINOPLE SEETHES Allies Themselves Are As Yet Unde- cided What Attitude to Take, While Kemalists Are United in Demands For Entire Ipdfpmdmu-. p Paris, Nov, 13 (By the Assoclated Press)—'‘The conference is adjourned you say? Well, your govermments are assuming a grave responsibility.” Thus spoke Ismet Pasha the Turkish nationalist foreign minister and heaa of the Turkish delegation to the Lan- sanne peace conference to the foreign editor of the Matin om board the Orient express on which he was trav- cling to Lausanne. “I tell you it {8 a dangerous pro- ceeding"” Ismet continued, ‘“because you cannot easily hold an entire peo- ple, an entire army in the prolonged uncertainty of an armistice. There are no normal relations between the powers and us, and the whole of our people are being kept in a state of in- tolerable nervous tensicn “Trusting in the French and their word of honor, I have done what few generals would be able to do—stopped victorfous and enthusiastic troops along an arbitrarily drawn line. And T has cone here abandoning my army and am told ‘not yet, we are trying to reach an agreement among ourselves.' ' Bey Less Apprehensive Ferid Bey the nationalist rep- resentative here however views the proclamation of the conference with more philosophy than Ismet. “The Turks who have waited two years, can walt another week without undue distress,” said Ferid to the Ex- celsior. “Their hurry to end the state of war is explained by the Greeks possibly in eastern Thrace from whicn Mussulmans are being expelled en masse and being replaced by Greeks and refugees swept along in the re- treat of the Greek armies.” Critical in Constantinople London, Nov. 18 (By ‘the Associat- ed Press)#Now that the Lausanne Near Fast conference has been post- poned to November 20, the question most urgently asked here is whether it will be possible to malintain peace in Constantinople in the interim. Re- storation of communications has re- vealed such an ugly situatiop ther. that it Is evident the utmost wict amd skill will be necessary to prevent violent outbursts. , , All reports. coming to London ¢on- cur in saying that the extremists are dominating the Angora government, which through its agents in Constan- tinople is following the policy of de- flance toward the allies and terrorism among the local population. = Resi- delr of Constantinople are described as being in a state of extreme alarm while the position of the allied troops is reported as one which one soon may become untenable, Englishman Thrashed An incident which sharply shows the total change in the situation from conditions which have prevailed dur- ing the past year, is reported by some correspondents whose Jispatches say that. ai English book merchant who became involved in a street squabble was selzed by the Turkish police taken to the Galata police station and thrashed. The correspondents main- tain that the establishment of martiar law alone can make Constantinople safe. Complete agreement among the al- lies and a display of unity in the na- ture of granting full authority to thetr commanders in Constantinople to co- operate in any emergency would re- move anxlety, it is contended, and guarantee stability during the discus- slons with the Turks at Lausanne. Without such co-operatioff it 1s argued, the conference had better not be held. Commentators in London generally insists upon the necessity of the allied representatives to meer together be- fore talking to the Turks at Lausanne in order to decide a common policy. Paris, Nov. 13. (By Associated Press)—The delegates of the Turkish national government have come to Lausanne as victors and their mood is wholly different than that of the crushed representatives of the sultan who beggeéd mercy when the treaty of Sevres was drafted three years ago. Thelr leader, Ismet Pasha, hoasts of support from the Russian soviets and alludes to the uncertainty which new governments in England and Italy have given to the solidarity of the en- tente, Mustapha Kemal Pasha cer- tainly seems well entrenched in Eur- ope today. His delegates to the Lausanne con- ference are confident of being grant- ed their demand that Turkey shall be relleved of the capitulations which are extra territorial rights granted to for- eigners in Turkey. They are also firm and confident in believing that full soverelgn rights will accrue to their government through the .con- ference, Their attitude brings to mind the remark once made by an American diplomat that putting Eur- ope out of Turkey would come nearer (Continued on Twelfth Page).
