the question to his government, said
a dispatch to the State Department
today from Rear Admiral Bristol,
the American high commissioned at

at Smyrna concerning requests for
admitting Greek ships to the harbor
and a cable from Ambassador
Harvey at Dondon said 1t appeared
Kemal had not yet received permits
sion to have the Greeks assist IN
the work Of evacpating the refugees,
THE British board of trade,
Harvey reported, had ordered a con
siderable tonnage held in readiness
for the removal Of Smyrna refugees,
but his dispatch, did not state where
these. vessels were to be con-
centrated.
The British Government. he said
had made representations to the
Greeks with respect to the distrk
button Of refugees now in Greece
Under date Of Septmber II, Ad

that he Turks were distributing
