| The sphere of Greek influence IN the
Smyrna district of Turkish Asia
Minor decided finally by the council
OF premiers today, gives Greece one
on the most valuable concessions yet
awarded any of the powers in the
partition Of Turkey.
The Greek concession extends more
| than fifty miles east and west OF
| Smyrna and some sixty miles back
| into the hinterland.
| Boundaries of the Greek zone are:
Starting from point north OF the
! gulf of Adamai, opposite the north
coast Of the island of Myteiene run
ming to the east INCLUDING Hately-
!, shar thence south crossing the rail-
way midway between Cassaba and
!Alesherier, near Saliki, which is eN-
cluded, thence westward following the
watershed of the Little Great Mean
der, the latter excluded with the city
Of Aidin and finally reaching the sea
near Scalanova, which is outside the
Greek zone.
The concession was considered
victory for Premier Venizelos.
While nominal sovereignty remains
in Turkey, with the right to raise
her flag on one of the forts in the
outer port, Greece will exercise efTec-
tive control, it was understood.
Greek authorities will administer
the city of Smyrna and occupy the
country. She cannot, however, I'M
pose military service as long as the
present statute is in force. 4
Greece must submit an electoral
law within six months after ratiflca-
tion OF the Turkish peace treaty.
Elections will be held six months
after the league OF nations mas ap-
proved the law.
Clauses for protecting Turkish
minorities are included in the Smyrna
statute. The port is opened to SUB
jects of all countries belonging to the
league of nations. The statute, now
over. can be changed at request OF the
district parliament two years after
convocation in the sense the parlla-
ment can ask annexation to Greece,
but not to Turkey.
The supreme economic council Will
regulate economic relations between
Turkey and the Greek zone.
Completion of the Smyrna decision
was practically the only important
work done by the council so far dur.
ing the present session.
The official communicate this after |
noon said:
"The council continued discussion
of the Turkish treaty heard military
experts regarding Batuni and decided
to ask the British representative for
further information on this question"
