Just as a man who’s been criti
cally ill for so long that. his vt:
tendants have nearly quit worry
ing about him takes a sudden turn
for the worse, feta* ir.g the doctors
and nurses scurrying frantically
again—even so has the Turkish
“situation” developed terribly
alarming symptoms over the week
end. '
The “Lausanne conference,’’ at
which the “powers'* were trying to
come to terms with Turkey, has
ended abruptly /without an agree
ment.
Turkey’s side is this:
The ex-s.iltan, while still on the
Job. granted a lot of concessions
and made \ar!ous agreements very
pr* judicial to Turkey's interests.
The new Turkish government, hav
ing deposed th«- -sultan, rejects
these agreements.
The other “powers” might stand
for this, but not England.
The one thing England draws the
line at is surrender of her man
date" to Turkey’s rich oil provinc
of Mosul. This is exactly thi
thing Turkey insists on.
Late last week Lord Curzon,
British representative, told Ismet
Pasha, Turkish negotiator, that Is
met has got to^ come to his terms
or he'd quit.
It sounded like an • ultimatum,
but M. Bompard, French delegate,
said he didn’t' understand it so.
Curzon meant It that way, he add
ed, then France was prepared to
make a separate treaty with the
Turks.
This' meant the kicking of Cur-
zon’s French support out from un
der him. He declared it was “un-
oelievable” Bomiuird would
^Lruchuv^thing—only he had.
At ■'aliy rate Curzon made his
