BRITAIN AND FRANCE STAND TOGETHER.' TURKS AGGRIEVED Tttm Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON. November 28. Mr Martin Donohue, the ‘ Daily Chronicle’s ’ correspondent, says : Tho Frauco-British understanding is still proof against the combined! Soviet and Kemalist assaults. Ismet Pasha is evincing on ■acrimonious mood, and is reproaching the French for treachery in refusing to adhere to the unofficial accord! negotiated by M. Franklin-Bouil-lon. According to the Kcraalists, M. Franklin-Bouillon promised, that all their terms would be accepted, instead of which they obtained practically nothing. The Kemaliets requested! that M. Franklin-Bouillon be sent to Lausanne to assist them. M. Barrere (French representative at Lausanne) refused to entertain tho demand, and the Kemaliets then commissioned Hamid Bey to go to Paris to interview M. Poincare, who also refused to consider the proposal. The Kemailists now talk of publishing M. Franklin-Bouillon’s written promise lo support the Turkish claims. Meanwhile M. Franklin-Bouillon is suffering from a sever© cold, which is understood to be diplomatic rather than physical. —A. and N.Z. Gable.
