FURTHER news
FROM MUDANIA
Cabinet Council Hears Report
of Lord CurzOn's Mission
to Paris.
SEEK NEW PARLIAMENT
Labor Party Passes Resolution
Expressing Lack of Con-
fidence.

LONDON. oct. 9-CBy A. P)-
The government is still awaiting
news from the Mudania conference
and the result OF orders Renal
Pasha Is reported to have given for
the retirement OF the Turkish troops
from the neutral zone or 10 such
new lines in those zones as may be
agreed upon.
The cabinet council today had lit
tie TO do beyond hearing a report
on Lord Curzon's mission 20 Paris,
and discussing purely provisional
arrangements for a peace confer
ence. should the Mudania meeting
prove successful.
II is understood that some OF the
delay at Mudania arose through
certain differences IN wording CT
other indehniteness IN the instruc-
tions conveyed 20 the British and
French delegates concerning pre-
else lines for fixing the new limits
Of the neutral zones, and IL IS sup
posed that the Turks are taking ad-
vantage Of these temporary differ
ences TO avoid any definite decisions.
Furthermore there are said to be
still some slight differences of oF1n-
ion relative 10 the number OF Turk
ish gendarmie to be allowed in
Thrace. Nevertheless. II Is expected
all these matters viii be ultimately
adjusted. and opinion here remains
optimistic.
Vote Lack of Confidence
The national council representing
the whole labor party met today
to consider the Near Eastern stu
alton and passed a resolution ex-
pressing lack Of confidence in the
governments policy and demanding
the immediate resignation OF the
government and the election OF a
new parliament.
The government tonight issued a
report on the conference which the
labor Populations had with Premier
Lloyd George on Sept. q, hitherto
kept secret. The prime minister. in
replying to the populations stop

Gates, devoted his speech mainly to
providing that the government pol
icy had been identical with that long
advocated by the labor party, name
~, maintenance OF the. freedom OF
the straits under control of the
league Of nations, and that the sub
Jet populations I'm Anatolla could
not be left under control OF the
Turks. But he regretted that this
policy became impossible because
the United States. France and Italy
had declined to undertake the nee
essary mandates IN these regions.
The premier argued that under
the Angora pact the position Of the
straits would be the same as it was
in 1914, when the Turks closed the
straits: therefore even control by
the league OF nations would be use
less unless an administration ad-
equate force was planted there by

But the only motive advanced for
the reckless crime was a sort OF

Hayes retort was that Schneider
was "a damned liar" He admitted
