Paris President Wilson has m
formed the council Of four, 1t was re-
ported IN peace conference circles on
Saturday, that the other members Of
the council should be prepared for the
United States not to take mandate
for constantinople or any other part
of Turkey.
This Is interpreted not as the per-
sonal inclination Of the president
against Il mandate, but as precaution
Ia case congress does not approve Of
Turkish mandate.
The reported stand Of the president
has had the effect Of starting two
distinct movements with relation to
the Turkish problem. The first Is to
place Constantlncple under an inter-
national committee, In which all the
great powers would have voice,
Should this not prove acceptable, the
second plan win be put forward. This
plan Is based on the assumption that
II the riyalrIes among the great pow
ers OF Europe make II inexpedient for
Great Britain, France or Italy to make

that Greece Is ready TO assume the
mandate II neither the United States
nor I'M international commission IS
