EXODUS OF
MILLION
Both Greek and Turk Civilians
Will Leave Territory Of
Other Nation.
By JOHN HADLEY,
Vutaru. tlonul Nevva Service.

LAUSANNE, Dec. 2.-The great.
est exodus Of populations in modern
history, affecting more than 1.00o.-
900 Greeks and Turks. will begin
at once under the terms Of an
agreement approved by the allied
powers in the Near East peace con-
ference.
Within the next two weeks all
the Greeks living in territory under
Turkish sovereignty must sell out
their goods and effects to Mussul'
mans and leave Turkey. At the
same time the Turks living on
Greek soil will depart and return
to Turkish soil.
It was explained today that the
allied delegates had consented to
this arrangement because they
feared IL Christians remained upon
Turkish soil they might be massa-
cred after i the peace treaty is
signed.
DIR. Fridtjof Nansen, chairman of
the international committee on Rus.
sian famine relief. who had been
instructed to make recommends
tions as to the best method Of safe
guarding the minority (Christian)
population In Asia Minor, said he
was convinced that the exchange
of civil populations by Turkey and
Greece was the best way to solve
the difficulty, although It would
work great hardship upon the peo'
pies. But hardships. he added,
were better than death.
Fears Open Rupture.
Indications gathered today that
the conference will be unable 10
bring about permanent peace In the
Near East. Lord Curzon, head OF
the British delegation, 10 attempt
ing to wind up the conference as
quickly as possible, fearing an open
rupture between the two blocs--
allied and so-Turkish.
In some quarters belief IL pre-
valent that the discussion Of the
Turkish straits next week will
bring about q deadlock which will
make II necessary to adjourn the
conference over Christmas, giving
the delegates an opportunity to
strive for amity In private meet
ings in the meantime.
Il The program to make Saturday
an idle day was hastily revised
early In the morning when Il .ap-
peared evident that q recess would
be taken over Chrilfmas. Four
ub-commissions and the comnis-
sion of Turkish capitulations were
all summoned to. meet during the
afternoon. 40
