Premier Lloyd George this morning
received Prince Aga Khan, spiritual
head of the Mohammedans of India,
East Africa and Asia, and the Indian
delegates, and assured them that a
settlement of the Near East question
was imminent which would meet any
religious anxiety in India. Later with
his allied colleagues he made formal
offer to Turkey, which constitutes a
new Turkey within her own bounds,
and one which. if she accepts the offer,
will in the future cause her to become
intimately involved with the Allies,
thus cutting off one other item from
the German imperial scheme of the
past.
/ Still later Mr.. Lloyd George received
the Austrian Chancellor, DIR. Mayr,
who, speaking only German, asked for
aid in order that the destitute popu-
lation of his country might be saved
from the wreck of the Hapsburg
dynasty. Preparations having been
made for these meetings during the
week, the business was rushed through
almost with scant courtesy. After the
work had been railroaded Mr.. Lloyd
George went to his country home,
Checkers Court, for the week end, de-
claring that he felt he had earned the
rest.
In regard to the proposal to Turkey
the Turks are TO get a larger share in
their own internal arrangements and
the Greeks are practically pulled out
from all but the city of Smyrna. nl-
though Thrace remains undisturbed in
their hands. There also were measures
conciliating the Turks and carefully de-
signed not to remove the dominance of
the Allies in all Turkish affairs which
would affect the rest OF the world, no.
tably the control OF the Straits.
CONFIDENT of Acceptr
Following the conference eNvsy con-
fidence was expressed in allied quar-
ters that Mustapha Kemal Pasha,
Turkish Nationalist leader, as well as
Constantinople. would accept the pro-
pOSal. Ine assurance OF tne AllleS tHAl
they will gradually remove their own
forces from Constantinople was said
to be highly pleasing to both groups
OF Turks. as in it they see ground
upon which the Imperial Ottoman Gov
ernment with ali the insignia of the
Moslem faith in its hands, can con-
ciliate with Angora, where the actual
political power rests.
These measures are said to have been
suggested by Prince Aga Khan. and
both he and the Turks were informally
reported to have said that the measures
viii be effective in restoring peace.
The French again contributed hand
somely to the Near East settlement. not
only by signing an agreement for the
evacuation OF Cilicia, but BY the inti-
nation that they will help In the COM
plotion of the Bagdad railroad and
otherwise aid the development OF Tur-
key. In this respect certain American
and British firms are understood 10
have given informal assurances of as
sistance In the development of tobacco
growing. &C. II the Turks guarantee to
maintain order.
