yesterday that the bust had beer

England and Italy must unite to

most modest commercial convention
could be concluded, II its terms were
discussed beforehand.
All that can be said Is that a re-
turn TO the principle Of the integrity
OF the Ottoman Empire, which for
long formed an important part OF
European public law, would seem
advisable, and should form the base
OF an agreement with Italy.
Certainly, the conduct of Turkey
