LONDON, March 9.—Edwin Samuel Montagu, Secretary of State for India, has resigned as a result of recommendations of the Indian Goy- ernment relative to Turkey, it was announced to-day. The sertousness of the Indian de- mands regarding Turkey and the Sevres Treaty lies in the fact that they propose destructioh of the en- tire Near Eastern structure, involving establishment of several new state: set ap by the Allies eince, tie wa 1 ait vacuation ofy ynstanti- nonte, first, domadcy’ ws not Dias Tie thet andr y be de- cided upon at Paris. 2. Restorihg Thee, {hcluding’ Adrianople and Smyrna, would give Turkey and Bulgaria a common frontier. It would immediately alarm Greece, Roumania and Jugo-Slavia, and shatter not only the Treaty of Sevres, but those of the Trianon, Neuilly and St. Germain. 3. Restoring the Sultan's suzerainty over the holy places would be the most serious step of all, for these are Jerusaleum, Kerbelia af@d Medina in Mesopotamia. It would mean abol- ishing the Arab Kingdoms of Irak and Hedjaz and abandonment of the British mandate in Palestine The object of these recommenda- tions, which were made in a despatch from Lor’ Reading. Viceroy of Indi to Secretary Montagu, is to mollity Mohammedan feeling in the Near Fast. The despatch, which was made public over the head of the home Government, declares fulfillment vf these points is of gravest importance tu India.
