Inc British spokesman said tonight
that Lord Curzon would undoubtedlv
send his communication in time for it's
consideration at the next meeting of

Inc British spokesman added that the
latest developments seemed to them
olstinctly unfavorable for the success
OF the Lausanne conference. The con-
ference however. will continue its la

sented with the draft treaty in which.
according to the British. there will be
clause providing that the Mosul uues-

the turks change their minds. This
Will be sufficient for them to refuse

Curzon said tonight. there may be q
renewal of war in the Near East.

inclined to take less serious view of
the situation than the British. and sew
eral of the diplomats expressed the
opinion that the way was still open to
mediation.

was interested in Mosul because of its
alleged oil richness. He declared that
Great Britain had solcmnly pledged her
word to the Arabs of Irak on the south
ern frontier of Turkey. that they would
not be returned to the Turkish yoke
and Great Britain meant to keep her
word.
