PARIS, Dec. 1.--Revelations that
former Premier Lloyd George Of

therios venizelos OF Greece entered
into secret diplomatic agreement
in 1890. by which Great Britain
promised to support Greece In the
war against Turkey, were con-
tained In an Athens dispatch print
ed by the Matin today.
According to the Athens corre-
spondent Of the Matin there is evil
dence that the Greeks undertook
their military adventure. in Asia
Minor at the suggestion Of Britain,
the Anglo-Greek Near East partner
ship promising the Greeks financial
assistance to carry on the strug.
gis."
Agreed to Share Turkey.
Greece, 1t was further. stated,
was promised equal shares in the
subsesuent division Of Turkey. The
cost for carrying on the war was
to be imposed upon Turkey In the
peace conference.
The Matin printed what pur-
ported to be the secret diplomatic
reports of M. Venizelos while the
negotiations with the British were
In progress. These contain q let
ter from Venizelos, dated June 10,
1890, in which the former premier
reported that the British general
staff council had technically ad-
vised the Greeks.
Communications from venizelos
about the same time warned the
Greek government that 1t could not
and Italy and that the Greeks
should be on the alert against In
vasion by bands of Bulgarian frreg-
ulars over the Thracian frontier.
Agreed to Hold Straits.
The British, according to the Ma
tin's revelations, agreed to protect
Constantinople and the Turkish
straits. Venizelos insisted pat the
old Ottoman empire be completely
partitioned, leaving only thk Ana
tolian plateau under Turkiih SOW
ereignty. ~
While the Turco-Greek war was
in progress. said the Matin dis
patch, the allies began to consider
the adyisability Of tightening the
original terms imposed upon Tur.
key. venizelos successfully inter-
fered at this juncture. demanding
the maintenance of the original
Turkish conditions and promising
that Greece wotild force Turkey to
accept the treaty Of Seves and to
demobilize the Kemalist army.
