sistence Of the British that no claims
of the Angora government should pc
accepted in. advance of peace con.
ference today's plan would be subJect
to further discussion and approvai py'
a full peace conference.
Taking the so-called Nationalist
pact as al basis, the Turkish allied
representatives discussed for nearly
four hours the Turkish demands.
Lord Curxon,, the British foreign SEQ
Rotary expressed some doubt as TO
whether his government would r
with any OF the conditions OF the Ma
ticnalists in advance Of a peace con-
ference; but he finally consented to
forward the plan to London tonight.
At FIRST Lord Curzon opposed even
mands before all the invited powers
discussed them around the peace
table, but the insistence Of M. Poin-
care, the French PREMIER. won him
over to the extent Of accepting them
contingent on their full endorsement
by the British cabinet. =
+. M. Poincare favored out-and-out
approval.of all the Kemalist demands.
but 1t 10 realized in French govern
ment circles that the best that can
be hoped for Is limited acceptance
by Great Britain.
Scheme for Peace.
The general scheme for peace would
contain the following points:
Constantinople, Adrianople and
Eastern Thrace up to the river
Martha would be handed back to
Turkey; subject to acceptance OF a
broad demilitarized zone along the
Thracean, Bulgarian and Grec1an
frontiers. n az ~
Observation-Disclosures Of the Straits
of the D~ardanelles under the League
of Nations or some other interna-
tional body. s
Maintenance Of a permanent allied
military force at Gallipoli. AZ
Rigid treaty clauses insuring the
protection Of the minorities in Tur-
key.
it is probable the British force at
Chanak would remain there until a
peace treaty. is signed between Tur-
key and Greece. The British also
would further. limit the size of the
Turkish force in Eastern Thrace to
insure peace to that part of Europe.
Poincare Wants Quick. Action.
Premier Poincare desired to hate
certain of the concessions finally APP
proved today so hat Franklin Bouil-
lon, who negotiated the Franco
Turkish agreement might proceed i'm
mediately to Smyrna in an endeavor
to prevent Mustapha Renal fP'asha's
committing n overt act whichSW'ould
u h0stilities between the Ma
tionalists and the British. NJ. Bouil-
Ion now Is expected to remain in
Paris. until tomorrow evening. .
If the two cabinets approve of the
plan as outlined by the conference
today, NJ, Bouillon will present 1t to
Mustapha Renal Pasha and try to
obtain d promise from himnthat the
Turkish. forces will remain In Asiatic
Turkey until peace conference
meets. s.t h ss;ilsatt$syE
1t was further decided By the con-
ferees today to hold the Conference
at Venice unless the Turks object to
this place. If possible, the opening
session Of the conference would be
held October 10 or October II. ,
