(centnucd from pago ono)
Lloyd George before being made pub
lie, but that it was not intended to be
regarded as Cabinet document, al
though Colonial Secretary Churchill is
supposed to have helped in its prepara-
tion.
This naturally has created the i'm
preston that The government intended
to retreat from it's stand under the
fire of the vast army of hostile critics.
That the government will embark on
any large undertaking Immediately is
regarded as most unlikely now. I'm
doubtedly the pronouncement was
meant as a sort of warning to Kemal,
but on the other hand the Turks are
hardly likely to regard it as pure bluff.
Lloyd George could hardly do anything
more unlikely to injure his political
fortunes than to persist in plans for
military operations in the Near East
at this stage.
Some appreciation of the extent of
the criticism may be gained from the
fact that newspapers differing so
widely politically as "The Morning
Post" and "Daily Mail" agree in their
condemnation of Lloyd Georges Near
Eastern policy. Should the govern
ment consider it necessary to take
any luIbHSI SlSpS dkOnR GIC way tlCy
are treading, Parliament undoubtedly
would be assembled earlier than sched-
uled. 1t is much more likely that the
government soon will issue a state
ment representing considerable recess
sion from it's present position.
The Cabinet expects the Allies will
act in concert in order to avoid an
armed clash with the Turks, but is pre-
pared to act alone if necessary. That
is the summing up of the official atti-
tude, but it can be read between the
lines of semi i-official communications
that the government is more or less
anxious to climb down in view Of the
storm Of opposition aroused.
Decisions regarding the reinforce
ments necessary were reached at thia
evenings Cabinet meeting and certain
regiments in this country already are
under orders TO go to the Near East.
but the most salient feature Of the
situation was that Lord Curzon had
arranged to go to Paris tomorrow to
put the British views before Poincare
before he starts on his prof jected tour
of France. This decision was made after
Lord Curzon had seen the French
Charge d'Affaires and The Italian Min
ister this afternoon.
That a communication was received
from Paris was adm tied in Downing
Street tonight, but the nature Of the
document was not disclosed officially.
1t was learned however that the French
note; while agreeing with Britain 5
stand that the neutrality of the Dar-
danelles must be maintained, depre-
Gated the warlike tenor of the state
ment issued on behalf Of the British
government. Threats from Downing
Street are premature, going beyond the
requirements of the situation, accord
ing to French views.
Following this communication from
Paris the opinion of the British Cab
met evidently was that the position
is not one which can be met by the
exchange of notes, but that respon-
sible minister should go to Paris and
attempt to iron out the situation.
Llyod George plans to meet Serbian
and Rumanian representatives to-
morrow. He has decided to remain in
London for the present and his pro-
iected trip to Geneva seems to be
fading away.

British. Ship Men
Warned of Trouble
IL They Cut Rates
Smull Serves Notice That
U. S. Board Will Fight;
Calls Closing Of Consulate
at Newcastle Unjustihed

From The Tr'iounes Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S.-Leading
shipping men Of England were told
j. B, Smull, president of the Emer-
gency Fleet Corporation, that where
they arbitrarily cut rates on any trade
route Shipping Board vessels would
likewise make reductions to meet the
competition, it waz officially dis
closed to-day at the Shipping Board
Offices on the return to Washington Of
Mr.. Smull from visit In Europe.
Mr.. Smull spent more than n month
in England, comforting with British
shipping mer ana with officials of the
Shipping Board. The rate war insti-
tuted some weeks ago In the South
American passenger trade by Lamport
Holt, British operators, did not come
up during Mr.. Smull's visit in England
but he admitted that he had talked
with several Of the leading shipping
men, among whom were Sir Frederick
Lewis and Sir John Ellerman. He ex-
planned that when foreign lines started
to cut rates the Shipping Board would
follow the cut with an equal or greater
reduction.
English ship brokers, Mr.. smull said
were forced to admit that the boarn
had handled the coal situation stra
logically and efficiently. When il be-
came apparent that steamers would he

war, with possible alliance of Rus
sia and Bulgaria with Turkey. The
Premier received General Townshond,
who congratulated him on his 'clever
and wise policy" and Poincare's policy
also received the approval Of Marshal
French, who declared it would be the
worst form of madness 20 begin a war
against all Islam. Advices received
here are to the effect that Lord Cur
zon told diplomats in LONDON to-day
that he disagrees entirely with the
war plans
Commenting on the Near East situa-
tion lie Temps" tonight says:
"France indicated its accord with
England and Italy on the principle of
maintaining the neutrality of the
of the situation lies in establishing per-
feet harmony among the powers con-
cerning what must be accomplished IN
order to create just and durable policy
in the Near East and avoid the risk of
conflict. The English policy does not
meet any of the requirements of the
present situation, unless it's purpose is
to force upon the Turks under the
menace of war certain conditions drawn
up beforehand in order to assure the
defeated Greeks the benefit of Turkish
victories. We believe it is only by
sincerely concerted and sagely upheld
diplomatic action that the Oriental
problem can be solved without new
crisis or renewed spilling Of blood.
When making peace it is wrong to
start with measures giving one the i'm
preston that one is preparing for war.
British Program Criticized
england is asking collective inter
ference in the Turco Greek war for the
benefit of Greece. She is asking France,
Italy, Rumania and Jugo-Slavia to con-
sent to new sacrifices to preserve the
Greeks from the direct results of the
faults Of the Athenian government,
committed in executing Constantine IS
personal policy: If England assumed
moral responsibility for Greece en-
couraging her in last years wild enter
prisc-c conquest Of Anatola and march
toward Angora certainly neither
France nor italy assumed any kind of
responsibility, and they will not back
up forceful measures in order to estab-
lish peace, which is necessary in the
Near East.
"In so far as is known the Angora
government has taken no such attitude
as to preclude negotiating with her on
sensible basis. There is nothing in
the Turks present attitude which justi-
fes the fear of an attack on CONSTANT
nople or the Straits and no eXigency
that necessitates dealing with them
under the menace of the supreme argu-
ment Of force"

Sopiet to Support Turks,
: Foreign Minister Says
Tchitcherin Says Russia Must
Take Part in Territory Nego-
tintions W ifTa the Allies
Special Cable to The Tribune

Copyright, 1922, New York Tribune Inc.
BERLIN, Sept. 18.--Soviet Russia will
support the Turkish Nationalist govern
ment in all it's demands, including the
return to Turkey of eastern Thrace and
Constantinople, Georg Tchtcherin, So
Wet Foreign Minister, told The Tribune
correspondent to-day. Russia regards
herself in duty bound to do so by the
treaty of March Is, 1921, between Mos
cow and Angora, M. Tchitcherin as
serted.
At the same time he added that Rus
sia would consider it a violation of this
treaty if Kemal should negotiate with
the Allies on tie regulation of the
Dardanelles without asking the partici-
patton of Russia, Asked whether Rus
sia would back up Turkeys claims to
the extent of military assistance, Tchit-
cherin replied:
1--WE cannot talk about that, for that
would be in the nature Of threat All
l can say is that Russia will back Tur-
keys just claims, including those for
the return Of eastern Thrace and Con-
stantinople"
Asked for comment on the report Of
negotiations between Kemal and Enver
Pasha who was at one time at war with
Moscow's 70 Aes in central Asia, the So
Wet minister said:
"Enver is dead. have just received
new confirmation Of the reports of his
death"
Tchitcherin expressed confidence in
the ability of the Turks to press their
struggle to a successful conclusion, say
ing that Bulgaria is ready to help,
while Jugo-Slavia is in no position to
enter military operations without pro-
voking an internal revolt. In conclusion
he emphasized the offer of Russian
mediation between Turkey and the En-
tenta as outlined in a recent Moscow
note to England.
BERLIN, Sept. 1S.-The "Zeitung AM
mittag" asserts that Mustapha Kemal
Pasha has sent a telegraphic message
TO M. Tchitcherin, Russian Soviet For
eign Minister, that he entirely abides
by the treaty Of March, 1921, between
the Moscow and Angora governments.
This treaty provides that Angora shall
negotiate only with the Entente re-
garding the Near East in CONJUNCTION
with Moscow, Mustapha Kemal, there
fore, appears to expect the Soviet's
participation in the impending negotia-
tions.

MT. Al Sellers has been busy the past month moving his saw mill from
 Mile 21 to Grant Lake. MT. Sellers plans to install his mill on Grant Lake this summer and turn out about 50,- 900 feet of lumber which will be used in constructing buildings on his min ing property at Grant Lake. In a few weeks more he will have all his mach inery moved to the new location. At Grant Lake, MT: Sellers has a group of quartz claims which have promise of developing into a big proposition. The vein on the property extends from the shore of the lake for 2000 feet to the top of the hill The vein is about four feet wide at the bottom and 20 feet wide at the top. It is exposed for greater part of the distance up the hill. The ore is free milling and will average well over $15 a ton according to assay taken. There is ample water power four miles distant to furnish power for working the mine and the cost of mining and development will be relatively low MT. Sollers expects install an arrastre this summer and mine some high grade ore on the prop erty.

WAGES BE CUT TEN PER CENT
 IN ALL RAILWAY EMPLOYES
Anchorage, March 25, 192

Anchorage, March 25, 1922.
 To All Concerned: I have just re- ceived a telegram from Col Mears, Washington, stating that after thor ough discussion regarding wages with Secretary Fall it is proposed to put into effect a reduction of approximate ly ten 00) per cent in the salaries and wages of all employees with few ex- captions as noted in General Circular No. 63, under date of December 19, 1921, this reduction to become effec- tive April 1, 1922.
 This will effect skilled and unskilled labor, including train operation crews and personnel. Also nearly all of the clerical staff, also foremen, general foremen, timekeepers, storekeepers, cooks, waTehousemen, etc.
 Regarding the wages of coal miners, the decision in this matter is now in the hands of the Secretary of the Navy, who is expected to reply quite promptly. Upon receipt of the Naval Secretray's decision an additional cir cular will be issued concerning their wages. However, all those in the Min ing department other than miners will be affected as above noted.
