HlTHE, England, June 2O.-Thc con-
ference between Prcmicrs Lloyd George
and Millcrand at Sir Philip Sassoons
house in the Village of Lympne, near
here, to day, was arranged suddenly be
cause of serious turn in the Turkish
situation. The successes of Mustapha
kcmal, leader of the Nationalist forces
on the peninsula opposite Constanti-
noplc, have been such as to awaken the
Allied leaders to the necessity of TAX
ing immediate counter measures.
Representa- tons from Admiral De Ro-
beck, British High Commissioner at Con
stantnople, convinced Lloyd George that
the situation could not wait for discus
sion at the general Allied conference at
Boulogne Monday and Tuesday He i'm
mediately rot in touch with Millerand
and arranged the conferences in which
the premicrs engaged last night and
to-day, and the French Premier. accom-
panied by Marshal Foch and other
military and civilian advisers, FASTENED
to England
The Turkish problem has had the
particular attention of the British gov
ernment, just as questions regarding
Germany and the fulfllment of the
Treaty of Versailles have been handled
largely by France. This explanation is
given of the fact that to-day's confer
ences took place in England rather
than in France.
Nenizeios Urges Action
Eliutherios Venizelos, the Greek
Premier, who has been in touch with
Lloyd George al! this week and was at
Lympne to-day, supported the reports
OF the situation which Admiral De Ro-
beck submitted and gave further de-
tails of the situation. He emphasized
the necessity for prompt action if the
NatIonalists arc not to get completely
out Of hand.
The Greek Premier has domestic
problems which are getting increasingly
difficult TO handle because Of the grow
ing sympathy for the deposed King
constantine He is especially anxious,
therefore. because Of the political effect
which his failure to protect Greek
rights would have in his own country.
that the Allies act quickly against.
hemal. as otherwise Venizelos fore,..s
the overrunning of the once Turkish ter
rItory that was allotted to Greece under
the Turkish treaty. which has been
hanging fire for weeks.
Venizeos, who has an army of con-
siderable size at his disposal, has Of
tered to send detachments not only to
the assistance of the Italians, who arc
hard pressed in Albania but to Asia
Minor, in the neighborhood of Isn1id
where the Anglo Indian forces are in
an unhappy position between the fire
Of the Sultan's troops and the Nation
alists.
French and British Disagree
The French and British are not
united in their attitude toward the
question, it is understood here, as the
French are not altogether out of svm-
pathy with the cause of the National
lists, whereas Lloyd George is certain
that any sort of compromise with KEN
a would be interpreted throughout the
East as the beginning of great
victory.
The British believe that no real set
tlenent can be made in the Near East
until an agreement is made with Rus
sia and arguments on this line were
developed at the conferences.
The Boulogne conference, in which
all the Allies will participate, promises
TO be the most important meeting since
San Reno. The financial settlement
which Germany must make win prob
ably be the principal subject under dis
cussion, although an effort will be
made to harmonic the French and
British points of view on a number of
other questions.
The settlement of the political
crisis in Germany gives hope that at
the Spa meeting, to be held in july.
agreements will be reached that will
have far reaching effect.
