LONDON, Nov. 28.-Neither Great
Britain nor France will raise any OBJ
lection to the return of former King
Constantine to the Greek throne he
is expected to arrive in Athens the
last of this week. The plebiscte TO
decide whether he shall take the
throne again is scheduled for next
Sunday
Premiers Lloyd George and Lcygues,
who have been in conference on Euro-
pean problems here since Thursday.
are now agreed that it would be mis-
take for the Allies to intervene in the
domestic affairs of Greece, and they
believe that Count Sforza, Italian For
elgn Minister, who arrived in London
tonight to represent Premier Gioltti
at the conferences, Will express the
same opinion.
The French and British premiers
have found that their points of view
differed on several questions, notably
Russia and German reparations, but
they found no difficulty in reaching
the common conclusion that Greece's
internal politics were her own affairs
ihere VIII be some reticence in the
attitude Of the Allied governments
Conversationa are now being carried
on between the Allied premiers and
Premier Rhallis of Greece to deter
N ne what attitude his government is
going to take toward the treaty of
Sevres between the Allies and Turkey
II Raalis agrees to fulfill the oblipa-
tions Of Greece under that treaty Pre-
ME- Lloyd George Will urge his French
ana italan colleagues to preserve that
treaty.
The French did have in mind plan
- give Smyrna to the Turkish Nation
"hsts under Mustapha Kemal on the
condition that the Nationalists com
promise their differences with the
Armenians snd bring about peace in
ASIA Minor. The British, however
showed no inclination to find this plan
acceptable. Now IL is suggested that
possibly an international protectorate
may be established over Armenia in
which the United States may join.
It is expected that the premiers will
adjourn their conferences without max
ing plans for revision of the Treaty
of Sevres. They will have q distinct
understanding, however, that the whole
Ncar East question is subject to review
before Christmas in the light of de-
vclopments in Greece in the next fort
night.
At to-morrow's sessions, in which
Cunt Sforza viii join, the premiers
a"*'n viii discuss the Green question
q then take m the Russian problem
Premier Loygues has now had an op-
ro,tunity to study the proposed Brit
ish trade agreement with the Bolshe-
g'ki 1t is said that the French will
rcnow thclc attc npts to force the Boil
sNeviAi to pay the Czarist debts before
