ASIA MINOR WAR

THE SUPREME COUNCIL'S DECISION

TIME HAS NOT ARRIVED FOR MEDIATION

(UNHID PRISS ASSOCIATION.—COPTKIfIBI.)

(AUSTRALIAN - NBW ZEALAND CAIM ASSOCIATION.)

(Received August 11, 11 a.m.)

PARIS, 10th August.

The Supreme Council has decided that the time has not arrived to mediate between, the Turks and Greeks. The Allies had declared neutrality, and emphasised that tha belligerents must not receive arms, men, or credits. Mr. Lloyd George said that conditions had changed. That the Sevres Treaty had been torn up by the Turks-was obvious, and the Greeks were entitled to assume that the treaty had ceased to exist. He thought that M. Briand'a dictum that victors should get the benefit of a doubtful point applied to the present situation.

tin his speech 1 at the Supreme Council on the Silesian question, M. Briand'said that France had no ulterior motives in her designs regarding the division of Upper Silesia. She only desired to carry out the Versailles .Treaty fairly, but thought that in matters where there was doubt the victors ought to have the benefit.]
