“YES” OR “NO."
THE TURKS MUST DECIDE. - ALLIES TIRE OF DELAYS. CRITICAL STAGE REACHED. By Telegraph -Press Association-Copyright LAUSANNE, Dec. 27. Lord Curzon, in a strongly-worded letter, plainly told the Turks that Britain was not prepared to surrender to any foreign country the Mosul district. Britain was willing to consider a modification of the northern frontier only. Lord Curzon argues that it is to the advantage of the population of Mosul to be included within the northern mandatory and flatly refuses to allow it to be attached to Anatolia. Lord Curzon concludes: “No good can accrue through any further discussion of the subject.” Received Dec. 28, 7.25 p.m. Lausanne, Dec. 27.
It is generally realised that Lord Curzon’s reply to the Turks has produced the most serious crisis which the conference has yet experienced. It proves that the Allies are no longer going to stand Turkey’s dilatory practices and will stop further bargaining with the Turks next week. The Allies propose to draft a treaty embodying the Allied offers and submit it to the Turks for ratification or rejection.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
