SMALL TURKEY.
A REDUCED POPULATION. NO NAVY PERMITTED. By Telegraph.—Press Aun.—Copyright, Received March 10, 7.35 p.m. London, March 5. It is understood that under the naval clauses of the Turkish Treaty, Turkey will be allowed to possess no Navy except a few revenue cutters.
The financial' clauses of the Treaty are likely to follow on the lines of the Hungarian Treaty. The Turkish population is likely to be reduced from thirty to sis millions owing toa large restriction of the territory of Turkey in Europe, which will be little beyond Constantinople. This will necessitate a readjustment of the Turkish debt, and ex-Turkish territories may be required to bear a portion'of the burden.
One of the first financial charges upon Turkey will be reparation for the Greeks and other sufferers dispossessed of valuable property—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
