Briand and Lord Curzon fully discussed during the week-end the position in the Near East, and agreed to submit a note to Greece demanding that she desist from her projected offensive in Asia Minor, so as to enable France, Britain and Italy to mediate. It was decided that Smyrna should be given to Turkey. Eastern Thrace will probably be granted autonomy, Turkish rights being guaranteed. Italy concurs. THE ANGORA PARLIAMENT. ANOTHER ANTI-BRITISH DEMONSTRATION. LONDON, June 20. (Received June 20, 5.5 p.m.) The Morning Post’s Constantinople correspondent states that the arrival of released Turkish prisoners from Malta resulted in a further anti-British demonstration in the Angora Parliament.
