It 1= considered no longer & mere question Petween the Turks and Greeks but to bav edeveloped into a direct confliet be- tween Turkey and the allied powers.

Moreover there is an rqually strong conflicting view bstweén the British ag! French governmend over the Near East as over Germany. There have beem no negotiations for a0 armistice between the Turks and the [Breeks and the perturbing question which Bas not yet been answered is. whether the Vietorious Kemalists will ‘be disposed to palt their military progress at the be- best of the allies, or whether. they will figregard the allied warnings and a tempt to carry their forces into. Europe. The center of the problem concarns the te of Constantinople and Thrace, and les the incipal differencs be- tween Great Brits®n and France. Great Britain desires to keep the Turks out of Europe and France, on the other hand, is believed to sympathize with the Turks and to desire them to regain eastern Thrace. = Jugo Slayia and other snations of the lttle entents would, however. fiercely oppose the Turks being readmitted to Thrace. and it is believed in some quar- ters that any such dew\lopments would throw the whole Balkan question again Into the melting pot: Then, there {5 the question of Soviet Russia's attitude, and tha soviets seem £ be giving considera- bie support 1o the pretentions of the emalists e for the moment s the biggest o to a settlement of the Turkish situstion,” said onme official at the close of the cabl mesting ‘today. is » general feeling raflected in offictal circles In London that ‘the" Brit- ish policy toward the Turks which has bsen apparent for several yeafs'wiil be continued to the bitter end.
