changed their minds, the French gov
eminent now believes that the treaty

On thinking matters over, the Turks

British government was also found TO
be in a cOnciiatory mood, and it is ex-

on which the conference broke, will now
be adopted.
The French dislike the Lausanne
treaty. which makes, it is considered,
too many important concessions TO
Turkish nntiOnalism, and risks injur-
ing French interests in the Near East
Nevertheless, they are in favor of sign
