representatives and will be formal.
considered by the French and British
cabinets tomorrow.
Approval Of these conditions Of
peace would mean a definite end to
the Near East crisis and, it is hoped.
Would remove I'll possibility of clash
between the British and Turkish Ma
tionalists. To meet the insistence OF
the British that no claims of tire An

cora government should be accepted
n advance Of peace conference, to-
days plan would be subject to further
discussions and approval by full
peace conference.
Taking the socalled Nationalist pact
as basis, the allied representative :
discussed for nearly four hours the
Turkish demands Lord Curzon, Brit
ish foreign secretary, expressed some
doubt as to whether his government
would agree with any of the condi-
tions of the Nationalists in advance
of peace conference, but he finally
consented to forward the plan to Lon
don tonight. At first Lord Curzon op-
posed even tentative approval Of the
Turkish demands before all the in
vited powers discussed them around
| the peace table, but the insIstence of
M. Poincare, the French premier, won
him over to the extent of accepting
them contingent on their full indorse
ment by the British cabinet.
NJ. Poincare favored out and out ap
rroval of all the Kemalist demands,
but it is realized in French govern
ment circles that the best that can
| be hoped for is limited acceptance b.
Great Britain.
The general scheme for peace woul,l
contain the following points:
| Constantinople, AdrianopIe ans
eastern Thrace up to the River Ma

key, subject to the acceptance of q
bread demilitarized zone along the

| Observation-Disclosures of the strait
Of the Dardaneles under the leagu,
of nations or some other internationa
body.
Maintenance of a permanent allieC
military force at Gallipoli.
Rigid treaty clauses msurrng thu
protection of the minorities in Tur
key.
1t is probable the British force d
Chanak would remain there until ,
peace treaty is signed between Tur
