(By Associated Press.)

Lausanne, Nov. 13.-Turkey de
mands will merely be dealt with as a
responsible governments and will be
allowed such rights in international
relations, according to statement
made to the World Press by General
Ishmet Pasha, head of the Turkish
delegation, when asked today what
Turkeys demands would be in the
near east confehsae here.
The delegates of the Turkish ma
tionalist government have come TO
Lausanne as victors and their mood
is wholly different from that of the
crushed Representatives of the sultan,
who begged for mercy when the trea-
ty of Sevres was drafted several
years ago.
Their leader, Ismet Pasha, boasts
of support from the Russian soviet,
alludes to the uncertainty which new
government in England and Italy
have given to the solidarity of the en-
tente. Mustapha Kemal Pasha GER
tanily seems well entrenehed in Eu-
rope today.
His delegates to the Lausanne con-
ference are confident of being grant
ed their demand that Turkey shall be
relieved of the capitulations which
are extra territorial rights granted to
foreigners in Turkey. They are also
firm and confident in believing that
full sovereign rights will accrue to
their government through the confer
ence. Their attitude brings to mind
the remark once made by an Ameri-
can diplomat that putting Europe out
of Turkey would come nearer to eff
fecting peace in the Near East than
putting Turkey out of Europe.
Having beaten the Greeks at arms
the Turks are apparently determined
to recover practically all the Euro
pean territory wrested from them
by the world war.
The Turkish delegation is outspok-
en- in its criticism of the POSTPONE
ment of the conference here. Appar-
emily eager to embarrass the British
and French efforts to come to some
sort of agreement before facing the
Kemalist representatives, the Turk
ish group is insistent in urging a
quick start of the discussions which
We're to have begun today.
UNREST IN TURKISH CAPITAL
London, Nov. 13.-Now that the
Lausanne conference has been post
poned to November 20, the question
most urgently asked here is whether
it will be possible to maintain peace
in Constantinople in the interim.
Restoration of communications has
revealed such an ugly situation there
that it is evident the utmost tact and
skill will be necessary prevent vio-
lent outbursts.
All reports coming to London con-
cur in saying that the extremists are
dominating the Angora government,
which through agents in CONSTANT
nople is following the policy of def
ance today the allies and terrorism
among the local population.
Residents of Constantinople are
described as being in state of ex-
treme alarm while the position of the
allied troops is represented as one
which may soon be untenable.
An incident which sharply shows
the total change in the situation
from conditions which have prevailed
during the past year is reported by
some correspondents whose dispatch
es say that an English book merchant
who BECAME involved in a street SQUAD
bic was seized by the Turkish police,
taken to the Galata police station
and thrashed. The correspondents
maintain that the establishment of
martial law alone can make Constan-
tinople safe.
Complete agreement among the al
lies and display of unity in the nature
of granting full authority to their
commanders in Constantinople to CO.
operate in any emergency would re-
move anxiety, it is contended, and
guarantee the stability during the
discussion with the Turks at Laus-
anne. Without such complete co-op-
GRAFTON, it IS argued, the conference
had better not be held
Commentators in London general
ly insist strongly upon the necessity
for the allied representatives to meet
together before talking to the Turks
at Lausanne in order to decide COM
mon policy. Unless this is done some
observers feel it will be impossible
for Great Britain to be represented at
Lausanne at all.
