INDIAN GOVERNMENT
ASKS FAVORS FOR
SERVICES DURING. WAR
They Ask That Ottoman En-
pire be Restored and the Re-
establishment of Sultan

LONDON, March 9.-(U. P)-The
house of commons adjourned today at
the start of debate on the Indian gov
ernment recommendations relating to
Turkey and the revision of the Sevres
treaty. Edwin Montague secretary OF
state for India, resigned as result Of
these recommendations The Indian
government urged: British evacuate
Constantinople, establishment of the
sultan's subzerainty over the holy
places, restoration of the Thrace Of
toman empire, including Adrianoplc
and Smyrna.
The object of these recommenda-
tions, contained in a dispatch from
Lord Reading, viceroy of India, to Ed
win Montagu. aimed to mollify Mo-
hamedan feeling in the Near East on
the eve of the allied Near East confer
ence called for Paris March 22 1t
will tend to embarrass Great Britain
as she prepares to go to that confer
ence. The demands are regarded here
as sensational. The message adds that
the Moslems in India believe Great
Britain had broken the promise to the
Turkish sultan and that India's war
services entitle that country to claim
to the utmost her just and equitable
aspirations" which in this case, i'm
plies rehabilitation of the sultan's
power and Moslem faith.
