FIXING TURKISH POLICY. MODIFYING THE TREATY, TREATING TURKS FAIRLY, By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Beceived Dec. 23, 8.5 p.m. London, Dec. 23. The Premier, during a discussion in the House of Commons on Turkish policy, said it was desirable to reach an agreement with anybody able to control Asia Minor. If the Turkish Government reached an agreement with Kemal, who is en route to Constantinople, the Allies would be able to negotiate with an all-Tuikish Government for the modification of the Sevres Treaty. This was no easy matter, added Mr. Lloyd George. The Allies could not make an offer To Kemal without the consent of Greece. He was all for treating the Turks fairly, and he begged the House not to change our whole Eastern policy. The Mediterranean was vital to Britain. We wanted the frfendship of the Greek people, and he begged the Hou)fc> not to rush into tearing up treaties based on principles of policy vital to the Empire, or restore the conditions which nearly proved fatal during the war.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
