Iectve note of the powers demanding a
cessation of the obstruction Of the peace
negotiations which was presented by the

terms.
1t insists that the frontier between
Greece and Turkey be as traced by the
military attaches OF the embassies OF the
powers and emphasizes the unanimous de-
termination of the powers to secure a
prompt conclusion of pelce.
However, az the note does not fix a date

posed to take in the event of Turkey not
yielding to the wishes of the powers there
Is great doubt as TO whether the note will
