abruptly end Thursday morning’s;
session of the commission.
The dispute was over the ques
tion of liberty of emigration. M.
Venlzelos bitterly attacked the An -
gora government and protested
against the alleged deportations of
Greeks by the thousand from Ana -

Rlza Nur replied in the same vein
charging Venlzelos with being re
sponsible for the Turco-Orealt -«»r
and.it*’ consequences. Tho voices
of the two delegates rose to a bleu
pitch, both speaking at the same
tlmo and refusing to heed the
pleadings of the president that thoy
calm down. In view of this Signor
Montaona declared the sesslur ad
journed amid confusion.
