When the first Turkish dele- gation was summoned to Paris in the spring of 1919 to learn the fate of the Ottoman Empire from the victortous allied pow- ors, who were at that time sit- ting in Judgment upon the de- feated powers, it was universal- ly agreed by the victors that the vanquished should all be treat- ed alike, Hence they were told the truth about themselves when they made pleas for mercy. The entente powers proposed to 8 of treaties similar in inspired by the thesis that the enemy powers were equal ly guilty for the origin and methods of a war that had threatened the bases of our civilization, For this reason M. Clemenceau answered the plea of Damad Ferid Pasha and his associates, that Turkey be let off easily, by a statement—in his blunt, unvarnished manner—to the effect that the ‘Turks had always made a mess of governing and that history recorded no instance where lands once freed from the Turkish yoke had not become prosperous and bet- ter to live in. The original idea of the allies seemed to be—once they had tied Germany hand and foot and dis- membered Austria-Hungary—to ful- fill the promise made in the reply to President Wilson's famous note to the two groups of belligerents at the end of 1916. What were the entente powers fighting to accom: plish? Nothing less than putting the Turk for all time out of Europe, and this clearly meant out of Con- stantinople, for the simple reason |i at the Turk had forfeited all right to consideration by his crimes against civilization 300,000,000 Back \ Besides being credited with a $1 account, each de- {| positor will be given a Liberty Bell bank.

SIGN YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS HERE: The Near East Situation * 3% *# Kemal But soon it was realized that the settlement of the Near East- ern question was not going to be easy to decide upon. The prime ministers of Great Britain, France and Italy held confer- ence after conference, and the treaty of Sevres was not ready to hand to Turkey until a whole year or more after the German and Austrian treaties had been signed. Then a Startling thing happened, the full significance of which has not yet been appreciated. But it will be during the winter of 1922-1923! A group of Turks, led by Mustapha Kemal Pasha, repudiated the treaty of Sevres, and set up a separate Turkish government at Angora. The entente powers sat tight at Constantinople. It was the Greeks who enforced the treaty in Thrace and who entered upon an extensive campaign in Asia Minor to assure for themselves the possession of the Smyrna region, given to them by the treaty of Sevres, France and Italy made treat- fes with the Nationalists at An- gora, and furnished them with the military means to combat the Greeks. Grea¢ Britain cried out against this policy, but backed the Greeks only half. heartedly because a strong sec- tion of public opinion in Eng- land sympathized also with the Turks, ‘The Greeks maintained themselves in Asia Minor for more than three years, Then they became discour- aged at having to fight not only the Turks but also the French and Italians, and they realized—as Occl- dentals did not—that Soviet Russia was also backing Angora. ‘The los- ing game ended in demoralizing them. With singularly short vision the Ttalians and French began to rejoice at the success of Mustapha Kemal Pasha. For the Italtans the smash- ing of the Greeks meant the elimi- ation of a possible rival in the Eastern Mediterranean, A strong and united Greece could not be tol erated as a neighbor, especially since the Greeks showed great apti- tude in the carrying trade, under. bidding the Italian mercantile ma- rine. For the French the ruin of Greek hopes meant the checking of a diabolical scheme of Mr. Lioyd George to make England (Turn to Page 4, Column 3) PEACE MEE 1S ARRANGED FOR TUESDAY 12 U. S.

The French government accepted the Kemalist plan immediately after it had been informed of it by Yusuf Kemal, Turkish foreign minister. ‘This summarizes Kemal's plan; 1. That representatives of Turkey, Great Britain, France, Italy and Greece meet at Mudania Tuesday for a preliminary peace conference at which it is hoped that an immediate armistice can be reached, and the basis of a final peace conference te (Tura to Page 4 Column @ RN ig eee ne rin eee
