The report shows how the econo-

THREATEN TO DRIVE
TURK FROM EUROPE
PATIENCE OF ALLIES SORElY
STRAINED By RECENT ACTION
OF MOSlEMS.
Unless They Submit to Terms Within
Ten Days, Turks Must Seek New
Section Of Globe, According to
Latest Decision.

Versailles.-A threat to drive the
Turks from Europe ''once and for all
was contained in the allied reply to
the Turkish objections to the peace
treaty delivered to the Turkish peace
delegation here Saturday afternoon.
Such action might follow Turkeys re-
fusal to sign the treaty or her failure
to give it effect, the reply states:
The Turks were informed that they
must make known their decision with
in ten days. The reply says the Turk
ish government would appear to think
it's responsibility in war is less than
that of its allies and that Turkey
therefore is entitled to lenient treat
ment, but the allies cannot accept
that plea. The note maintains "Tur-
key entered the war without shadow
of excuse or provocatiOn," and by clos
ing the straits in the face of the allies.
Turkey certainly prolonged the war by
not less than two years and caused
loss to the allies of thousands of lives
and thousands Of millions of pounds"
Referring to the provisions Of the
treaty concerning Smyrna, the allied
note points out that they will not have
the effect of restricting the trade OF
Anatolia. On the contrary, it declares,
the freedom of the port is guaranteed.
1t contends that the treaty leaves Tur-
key a national state with large pro-
ductive area and that there is nothing
in the treaty ito prevent Turkey from
becoming a prosperous nation If she
| reforms"
As to ConstatinOple being left as
the capital Of Turkey. the allies say
they have grave doubts as to the wis.,
dom Of this step in view of the misuse
made by the Turks of their power in
the past.
In conclusion the note refers to the
possibility of the allies having to drive
the Turks from Europe and fixes q
ten day limit for Turkish acceptance
Of the treaty.
