ALLIES SPLIT OVER TURKEY.
Italy FIatly Refuses to Aid in Sub
jugation.


jugation.
By Associated Press.
San Reno, April 24.-"You will
have war in Asia Minor, and Italy
will not send single soldier nor pay
a single lira," said Signor Nitti, the
Italian premier, in an interview fol-
lowing a critical analysis by him of
the Turkish peace treaty.
You have taken from the Turks
their sacred city of Adrianople," he
said. You have placed their capital
under foreign control; you have TAX
en- from them every port and the
larger part of their territory.
And the five Turkish delegates
whom you will select will sign a
treaty which will not have the sane
ton Of the Turkish people or the
Turkish parliament"
Armenia Independent.
Armenia is to be created an inde-
pendent state. This decision was re-
ported by the supreme council of the
allies because neither the United
United States nor any other power
was willing to accept mandate over
the country.
The boundaries Of Armenia have
not yet been defined. The new re-
public probably will be rather con-
tracted, as it is believed the smaller
the country the more easily it can
take care of itself. 1t is feared if too
many Turks are left within its con-
fms they might overthrow the gov
ernment t
League Of Nations Sighted.
The comment Of those in close re-
lation with the council Is that the
league Of nations has been rather
slightlingly treated respecting Arme-
MIA. -
The council sent q somewhat
vague letter to the league asking it
to take the mandate.
The league executive at a meeting
IN Paris replied favorably, but called
attention to the fact that it had no
funds and no staff suggesting that
the council should authorize an in
ternational loan guaranteed by the
powers composing the council.
1t was pointed out that the new
states ought not to be burdened with
a large debt to begin with and the
council was also requested to eject
the Turkish forces from the borders
of the new state.
Refuse Mandate to League.
These proposals have not been ac-
|cepted by the council. which thus de-
clines to avail itself Of the league az
|a suitable mandatory. 1t is under
stood that If the league had been
provided with money it might have
arranged with neutral governments
to- exercise the mandate under super
vision OF the league. Among the
smaller powers so mentioned are
Canada, especially, and If Canada
would not accept, then Sweden or
Spain. -
