commons probably will adjourn to-

has been created by the unprece'
dented public recommendations on
the part of the government Of India
relating to Turkey and the revision
Of the Svres treaty.
The Indian government has urged:
that the British evacuate CONSTANT
nople; that the suzerainty of the
sultan over holy places be recog-
nized and that the Ottoman empire
of Thrace be restored.
The object of these recommenda-
tions, which were made in a dis
patch from Lord Reading, viceroy
of India, was to mollify the Mo-
