TURKS DEMAND
NEUTRAL ZONE
MosLEMs ARE DENIED CLAIMS
FOR PLEBisCITE IN
THRACE.
BULGARS DISTRUSTFUL
BULGARIAN DELEGATION III
SISTS ON OUTLET TO
AEGEAN SEA.

Lausanne.-A review of the first
week of the Lausanne conference
shows that Turkey met signal defeat
In her first demand, namely. for n
plebiscite In western Thrace, which
she maintains is overwhelmingly of
Turkish population. The Turks, how
ever. have placed on the diplomatic
board n proposal which Is affordlng
great embarrassment to all the powers /;
they want n neutral belt marked out
along the entire European frontier
from the Black sea to the Aegean and
they want the powers to guarantee
that it shall be kept neutral.
This unquestionably is a move cal
culated to secure peace in the Balkans,
but Europe ~hesitates to take over d.
rect responsibility concerning Balkan
territory, where 81 many wars have
been fought and where the national
aspirations are still a powerful fac
tor for dlscord.
Similarly Turkey asks that the
Aegean islands which lie near her
Anatolian coast be demilitarlzed and
an autonomous form of government
established. This is an extension to
the sea of the neutral belt proposal,
suggested for the Balkans.
When 1t comes to n settlement of
the straits treaty, Turkey will I'M
doubtedly demand additional strong
guarantees against aggressions by
Christian Europe. Ismet Pasha ap-
pears to be looking up as an astute
statesman.
The Bulgarians are angry over the
virtual decision to make Deaghatch
merely a free port instead of a sover
eign Bulgarian commercial center. The
Bulgarian delegation has issued a
broadside to the press condemning
Greek objection as voiced by VeniZe-
los; 1t insists that an outlet for Bull
garia to the Aegean sea would be eff
fective only If its access were assured
through territory either Bulgarian or
autonomous, and declares that any
other solution would be palliative, en-
failing dangerous consequences with
respect to Bulgarian trade. 1t con
cludes:
Bulgaria, though defeated and hi
INFLATED, has at least the right to re-
fuse this gift, which reminds her too
much of the old tale of the Danaos,
so thoroughly in conformity with the
Hellenic traditions OF the days OF
Troy
In other words Dedeaghatch, with.
out absolute possession, 1t is consid-
cred, would be a left-handed present
Of doubtful value in the event Of new
Balkan lntrigues or conflicts.
