SETTLEMENT' WITH TURKEY.

ITALY'S OBJECTIONS

tOJ«>ON, April 26.' San Henio oorrespondeittjS state that Italy views the Turkish Treaty with, undisguised disapproval*, due to the fact that Greece is raised to a position of serious rivalry as a Mediterranean -Power. The Treaty gives Italy very little, except Adlalia,\as Greece gets everything "west of the Chataljia lines, except Dedeagatch. Italy considers this will transfer large T>odies of Turks and Bulgars to Greece, and make future war inevit*ble. Italy also objects, to the proposal to turn the Turks out of Erzeroum, and give the town to the Armenians. Apparently Armenia is to be an independent State. The League of- Nations has* no real mandate^ but the League may issue an international loan on Armenia's fcehalf to secure" the co-operation of an Allied or neutral State in the development of Armenia. Jews in Britain are delighted at the Council's decision to incorporate in the Turkish Treaty Mr Balfour's declaration on Zionism. It is suggested April 24 should be .made a Jewish national holiday. SAN REMO, April 24. An unofficial Turkish delegate asserts that the Turkish Government will never sign .the .Treaty .^ Thfe Entente must findl a Government willing to sign. <
