SMYRNA AND THRACE.
PROPOSED COMMISSION. HOSTILITIES MUST CEASE. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.— Copyright. London, Feb. 25. A communique states that the Turks were asked for their views on the proposal to create a commission to decide the fate of'Smyrna, the decision of which should be accepted by Greece and Turkey. Tewfik Pasha has deputed Sami Bey to speak on behalf of the delegations. Sami thanked the Supreme Council for admitting the claims of the Turkish delegation. Mr. Lloyd George intervened, remarking that no claims had been admitted. Sami replied that the Turks were confident of the justice of their claims. They regarded the creation of a commission as tantamount to their being admitted . The Turks were pressed to say definitely whether, on accepting the comi mission, they would not raise other points than the questions of Armenia and Kurdifitan. Sami obtained permission to consult his colleagues before replying. The conference added the condition to the acceptance of the Smyrna-Thrace Commission that the Turks and Greeks should immediately cease hostilities with the exchange of prisoners. M. Cageropoulous could not give a definite answer until he had received his Government’s reply.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
