ALLIES TO MEET.

TWO IMPORTANT PROBLEMS. GERMANY AND TURKEY, By Telegraph.—Press Awn.—Copyright, Received April 19, 5.5 p.m. London, April 18. An official announcement from San Remo states that Signor Nitti (Premier of Italy), Signor Scialoja. (Italian Foreign Minister), Mr. Lloyd George (Britain), Viscount Curzon (British foreign Secretary), M. Millerand (Premier of France), and M. Barthelot (French Foreign Secretary) met at Devachan Castle and arranged the programme for the Conference. The first matters to be discussed relate to the Turkish Treaty. The San Remo correspondent of Li Temps says the two main questions are the Turkish problem and the disarmament of Germany. The Conference will not deal with the Adriatic, as the Jugo-Slavs intimated at the last moment that they were not ready to attend—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn. TO ENFORCE THE TREATY. COMBINED ACTION PROPOSED. Paris, April 18. The Ambassadors of Belgium and Italy informed M. Millerand that their Governments associated themselves with the step taken by Britain with the view of taking collective action against Germany in order to enforce the complete execution of the Treaty oi Versailles. Mr. Lloyd George, speaking at the docks in Marseilles, said he had always approached the question of relationship with France, who was still the champion of the liberty of the world, with a feeling of sincerest affection. The war was won by close Anglo-French union, which alone could secure the fruits of victory and maintain future civilisation. The British and French must march together. The best means of smoothing away difficulties was the greatest frank-ness.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
