FRENCH AND ITALIANS
AMAZED AT TURKS’ OBSTINACY. ISMET’S CONSCIENCE CLEAR. Australia,*! and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received February 5, 11.45 p m.) LONDON, February 4. The “Morning Post’s” Lausanne" correspondent says: “The French and Italians are more annoyed than the British over the Turkish obstinacy in connection with finances and Capitulations, which touch them more than us. The difference was illustrated by the final words at the Conference, Lord Curzon telling Ismet that the Turkish intractability was incredible, and M. Bompard saying it was a crime to talk of separate treaties. “Ismet informed the Turkish journalists that he did not refuse to sign owing to the Capitulations, but tlie financial section of the Treaty meant the re-establishment of economic capitulations and the enslavement of Turkey. He claimed he was unaware the Conference was over, and declared he expected further communication from the Allies. Ismet concluded: ‘My conscience is clear.’ “The French delegation is leaving for Paris.”
