at the prospect of Turkish reprlsals. The
Greeks have rejected the Turkish pro-
posal for an armistice for the burial OF

against the burning of villages by lns
Greeks In their retreat.
The Turkish heir apparent has sent
congratulations to Mustapna kcmal
Pasha. leader OF the victorious Nation

The Turkish advance, apparently, has
surprised all military observers here.
most of whom believe the Greeks will
rally, though it is pointed out that what
ever the outcome eventually the Greeks
are sustaining losses which are not war
ranted.
The Nationalists' main drive now Is
toward Ismid and is being held by the
Greeks.
The security of the Allies occupying
Constantinople is believed by some to
be threatened unless the Greeks are
tionalists. The Allies are considering
tect Mudania and Ismd.
The Greeks are evacuating Afiun-
Karahissar. the important junction
point on the Bagdad Railway. which
their Southern army captured in their
recent offensive drive and are retiring
to their old positions.

OF a division in the Sugut sector to ad-

from Bilcilk. TO tho north, and another
from Inegol, to the southwest Tho
morale of the Greek troops Is said to be
poor. Their constant fight against sii-
perior numbers and the fact that they
have few reserves tended to discourage
the Greek divisions on this part Of the
front.

Reports of complete check for the
Greek troops in the Brusa section of

Lloyd Georges speech.

In his renaarlos in the House OF Com
mons the Prime Minister said: What
we all are anxious to DO is to arrive
at some pacification OF this very danger
ous dispute, If it could be done in way
which is compatible with the interests
OF the nation as q whole. There has
been general demand for the decontrol
of all ind dustries. The subsidizing of a
great industry from taxation Is wrong
in principle and completely indefensibl.

moment lis especially indefensihle, hav-

country and the condition OF the E,x-

profits came to over a million pounds
sterling a week. AS pr.ces arc falling
that amount would increase to an an
nual loss or between fifty ara sixty
millions TO the Excheouer. It might
very well run to something like hun
dred millions.
I'VE have been told that If we guar
anteed wages and profits for another
two months all might be well. What is
the prospect? Notice of decontrol OF
the mines was given last January. IF 1t
had been purely a. question of two
months. it would have been worth while
even the placing of this burden on the
taxpayers in order to avert the calamity
of a great national dispute. But there
is no promise of a guarantee, not even
Il mere prospect that at the end OF a
month. or two or three months. we will
not be face to face with the same situa-
ton. Therefore it is essential that in
dustry be brought face to face with the
end of Government control

steps to promote further discussion be-
tween the miners and the owners Of
the mines with n views to arriving at
q better understanding.
No Subsidy to Industry.
I'VE must make it clear that we can
not enter into any negotiations upon the
expectation that we could recommend
Parliamentary maintenance OF industry
from general taxation. (Cheers) We
can't enter into any discussion based
upon the assumption that 1t is possible
to resume control OF industry, but be-
tween these two limitations there is Il
very wide field Of discussion.
The discussion would be with the
miners federation and the coal owners
federation. Anything the Government
could do 10 promote a good understand
ing between the miners and the owners
of the mines it would be willing to un-
dertake."
John r. Clynes led off for labor in
the discussion, declaring that II was the
sudden determination on the part OF the
Government to lift its control of the
coal mines at the end OF March instead
Of at the end of August that precipitated
the crisis. lie admitted that the coal
Industry was facing difficult times, but
declared that the Government nolicy had
released the state. the consumer and the
owners of the burden and put it all on

Mr. Willard said the statfstician over
looked the capital outlay involved and
instanced an alleged saving OF s27S.

Mr.. Willard, "to have made that outlay
simply for the purpose OF performing
substantially the same service at a

to most of. the other suggestions made
by Mr.. Lauck
