THE TERMS TO TURKEY.
♦ — STATEMENT BY PREMIER. "NOTHING TO REVEAL." (Received 12.15 a.m.) Press Association. LONDON, April 29. Mr. Lloyd George, in a review of foreign affairs in tho House of Commons, said that regarding Turkey ho agreed with M. Millerand that it was undesirable to outline the Ailies' proposals until they were submitted to the Porte, but really there was nothing to reveal. There had been no departure from principles laid down. He confirmed the report that a mandate over Syria would be given to France, and the mandates over Mesopotamia, including Mosul, and over Palestine, would be given to the British, and that in regard to the Palestine mandate there would be full recognition of Mr. Balfour's declaration in respect to the Jews. The Armenian problem was overwhelmingly different, owing to the fad that there was no predominant Armenian population in a vast area that the Allies would have liked to have allocated to Armenia. If the Allies gave the territory to Armenia who would enforce the decree!
