Lord Curzon, in a speech in reply to Turkey's decision in regard to the Galli.poii graves, said: "These men came from Australia and New Zealand, the ends of the earth, to fight in the noblest of causes. Cannot we allow thenr the dignity of peace? The ground is valueless 10 TJurkey, or any other human being, but to Australia-and New Zealand it is a matter of the deepest sentiment and consideration. It is impossible for any nation to take a different view of its dead. We will noi haggle over our <Jead boldiers. Not a man will be removed from Gallipoli until this question is settled in decency and honour." Ismet replied that he had the deep? est respect for all who fell on Gallipoli, and promised to respect the cemeteries, but the area taken by them the Turks aaked the right to control.
