THE NEAR EAST.
TURCO-GREEK WAR. DECISION Or SUPREME COUNCIL. (By CaM«—Pr*e» Association—Cotijrrtgfct.) (Australian and N.u. Cable Association.) LONDON, August 10. The Paris newspapers generally comment favourably on the improved situation as the outcome of Mr Lloyd George's and M. Briand's speeches. The Supreme Council decided that the time had not arrived to mediate between the Turks and the Greeks. The Allies hadrdeclared their neutrality, emphasising that the belligerents must not receive arms, men, or credits. Mr Lloyd George said the conditions had changed. The Sevres Treaty had been torn up by the Turks. • It • was obvious the Greeks were entitled to assume that the treaty had ceased to exist. He thought M. Briand's dictum, that the viotors should get the benefit of a doubtful point, applied to the present situation.
