A FIRST-RATE NUISANCE
TURKISH CLAIMS. TENSION WITH FRANCE. France Is Over-Generous In Dealing with Problem. Press Association —Copyright. Received 11 a.m. London, Jan. 8.
The Manchester Guardian’s diplomatic correspondent says that Whitehall regards the Franco-Turkish tension as a first-rate nuisance at this juncture. It considers that Turkey has no case whatsoever, and is even inclined to think that France is overgenerous in her attempts to meet the baseless claim.
A Paris message says that it is understood that King Faud told M. Vienot that Turkey did not intend to denounce the Franco-Turkish Treaty in an attempt to modify forcefully the Statute of Alexandretta. The French Mediterranean fleet has been ordered shortly to carry out a cruise of the north coast of Africa and this is regarded as significant in view of the reported German penetration of Morroco.
