Such action might follow Turkeys refusal to sign the treaty or her failure to give it ef- feet, the reply states.
 The Turks were informed that they must make known their decision with. in ten days.
 Holds Turks Equally BIamefuI
 The reply says the Turkish govern ment would appear to think it's re- sponsibility in war is less than that of it's allies and that Turkey, therefore, is entitled to lenient treatment, but the allies cannot accept that plea. The note maintains Turkey entered the war without a shadow of excuse or provocat ton" and by closing the straits in the face of the allies Turkey cer- tainly prolonged the war by not less than two years and caused loss to the allies of thousands of lives and thou 1 sands of millions of pounds" Continuing, the note says: 4 The history of the relations between the port and the great powers for a long period before the war was one 1 long story of repeated, unavailing at tempts to put an end to atrocities in Bulgaria, Macedonia, Armenia and | lsewhere-atrocities which startled and shocked the conscience of man i kind. II is estimated that since 1914. ] the Turkish government has massa- | cred on the mendacious pretext of all 1 legged revolt s00,000 Armenians. in- cluding women and children, and eX- pelled or deported more than 200.o0O Greeks and 100000 Armenians from i their homes.
 l Not only has the Turkish govern ment failed to protect the subjects Of other races from pillage. outrage and murder but there is abundant evidence recting these outrages against people | to whom it owed protection l To Emsncipste Non Turkish Areas For these reasons. the allied pow
 CTS have resolved to emancipate all areas inhabited by non Turkish ma : i jority from Turkish rule.'
 I Referring to the provisions of tho
 treaty concerning Smyrna, the allied l note points out that they will not have
 the effect of restricting the trade of
 AnatoHa. On the contracsy, it declares
 the freedom of the port is guaranteed
 It contends that the treaty leaves Tur- 1 key a national state with a large pro- ductive area and that there is noth-
 ing in the treaty ito prevent Turkey
 from becoming a prosperous nation fl
 she reforms"
 As to ConstantinopIe being left as 1 the capital of Turkey. the allies Esv l they have grave doubts as to the wss - dom of this step in view of tke 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 a 1o- day limit for Turkish acceptance of the | treaty.
