Britain, France and Italy
Sign Tripartite Pact for
Maintenance of Their
''Spheres of Influence"

PARIS, Nov. 5 (By The Associated
Press). - France, Great Britain and
Italy have signed a tripartite agree
ment in which they undertake to sup
port each other in maintaining their
spheres of influence in Turkey. The
limits of the areas in which the re-
spective special interests Of France
and Italy are recognized are defined by
the same document
This agreement. it developed to-day
was signed at Sevres August 10. the
day the public ceremonial Of the sign
ing Of tho peace treaty with Turkey
took place. Although the agreement, it
Is explained, is not considered d secret
one, it nevertheless has never been
made public until now, after lapse Of
nearly three months since the signing
| under its own terms the document was
to come into force and be published al,
the time the Turkish peace treaty
should &c into effect. This date is still
an uncertainty.
British Spheres Underlined
In connection with examination Of.
the text of the agreement. now avail
able, attention is being called here to
the fact that, while the treaty defines
the spheres of influence Of France and
ltaly-recognizing the special interests
Of France in Cilicia and the western
part Of Kurdistan bordering on Syria
and Of italy in southern Anatolia the
British spheres of influence are not
only underlined, but are not referred 70.
This has raised the question if the
agreement is susceptible of the inter
may be held to extend to any or all the
remaining parts of the Turkish Empire
1t is noted also that while the agree
ment does not take the form of an ALI
ance, it nevertheless pledges the con-
.Yacting powers to render diplomatic
support to each other iii maintaining
their respective positions in the areas
in which their special interests are
rccognized.'
