According to last reporta the al- Hed commission refused to allow! newspaper correspondents to go to Mudania for the conference. A protest of American journalists to Admiral Mark Bristol, American maval commander, brought no re- sults as far as could be harned. ‘The terms laid down by Kemal for the conference are unacceptable to the allies, it is believed, but will form the basis of discussion. “These are the two most important questions to be discussed at the con- ference: 1. The evacuation of the neutral fone in the area near Chanak, on thé Dardaneiles, and Ismid, near the straits of the Bosphorus. 2. The evacuation of Thrace. It was believed that Gen. Haring- ton will attempt to induce the ‘Turks to move back in the Chanak | area to & greater distance than they have done since Kemal called the conference. ‘This would, pending the perma- nent peace negotiations, obviate} the possibility of a clash between the British and Kemalists. THRACE TO PROVE DIFFICULT ISSUE Thrace is the most difficult issue to be discussed at the conference. In his demands Kemal stated that) it was necessary for the Turks to! ocoupy that territory as far as the Maritza river to prevent massacres by the Greeks. The British, however, are expect- e4 to oppose this on the grounds that in the allied note Thrace was promised to Turkey after and not before the permanent peace con- ference had been held. cee { HERE’S MORE ABOUT HUGHES STARTS ON PAGE ONE and there has been no action by con- grees which would justify this gov- ernment in an attempt by armed forces to pacify the Near East or to Mr. engage in the acts of war in order to juppose, then, the United states accepts the next invitation to partic Pate In an economic conference to salvage Europe.
