LONDON. Jan. The pl.uipo-
tentiarieS to the peace conf,rouC.
enjoyed "a day uf general relaxation.
Even the meeting of tho +mhaSs.tip~s
today WAS purely academic. Hs 1l
agreed that yesterdays advances 10y
Turkey had changed the situation To-
such an extent that they must awoit
corresponding instructions form their
respective governments.
The Turks continue To declare that
their concessions have surpassed any
logical concession. hut not now AZ airy
cost Will give AN inch more.
ON IN" other hand. thr allies with
unanimous vote" and compact front
maintain thai they would rather ond
the conference than r,nounce what
claim Is du" them 10y right Of IN .ir

That the game is being played on
both sides Is evident. Th.. Turks em-
phaSizc N" enormous irupurtancc 1t
what they htN, conceded. which In
reality Is only what they hay" lp-t
and what. independently of tho alli..s.

The real stumbling block i- Nd

Some suggest that Turkey ccde the
Aegean islands to the powers. which
can decide their fate r. is recalled
that such a course has been taken
on other occasions. pr"segtin= even
more dithcugies rhfu tie pr"s-'ut.
For instance. IN tlr war of SOC. be
tween Italy and Austria. Austria. al
though victorious. was induced 10

France. which transferred them to
Italy. supporters of this plan hint
that Turkey micht even ccd- the
islands 10 the allie. as has practically
been done with Albania. on condition
that the powers pledge themselves 10
