' 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.
