ALLIES DECIDE TO MAKE PEACE WITH THE TURKS Will Take Action Soon, Even Without America. Lloyd George Says Isjitdon, Dec. 19.—Without any disrespect, and without wishing to deprive America of the honor of sharing in the guardianship of Chris tian communities, the Allies have decided to make peace with Turkey at the earliest possible moment. Pre mier Lloyd George declared in the House of Commons. Premier Nittl, of Italy, has been invited to meet Premier Lloyd George and Premier Clemenceau., and possibly an American repre-, sentative in Paris in the course of a J few days. Lloyd George in the House of Commons said an effort to settle the question of Fiunie was the purpose of the meeting. Agreement oil Russia. Mr. Lloyd George said there was complete agreement among the Al lies on the question of non-interven tion in Russia, but that discussions were progressing between the Unit- \ ed States and Japan concerning fu- j ture action should the Bolshevik ad- I vanee reach to any considerable de-] gree eastward. Premier Lloyd George said it was J impossible to make peace with Rus-1 sia because of the civil war existing there. If the Bolsheviki wanted to i speak for Russia, he added, thev! must summon a national assembly j based on a broad franchise that! would represent something with j which the Allies could make peace, i Mr. Lloyd George said the agree- j i ment to guarantee France against j ! wanton aggression was subject to 1 I ratification by the United States of I , that particular point. If the United ! | States should not ratify the guaran- ! I tee to France, he stated. Great ! j Britain \vould be free to reconsider i | her position. I Xo Secret Diplomacy The premier began by defending l in certain reticence in negotiations.' 1 instancing the danger of dropping 4 | word calculated to kindle inflam- i niable opinion in Italy regarding ] Fiume .but contended that tilts was not secret, diplomacy and pointed' out that the publicity given to all decisions of the Paris conference was unprecedented. With reference to the Anglo- American-French conventions, he : said that the British government i had given no undertaking on the! subject, for the simple reason that i it could not imagine that the United j ■ States would dishonor the signature ' iof its great representatives, lie ad-! ; mitted that for Great Britain to un- I ! dertake the charge alone would he a serious obligation, which he would not enter upon without the consent of parliament. I Mr. Lloyd-George defended the' .delay in making peace with Turkey! on the ground of the necessity to'l ! know what the United States intend- 1 led o do. France and Great Britain he declared, already had heavy bur dens. while the United States was [under no great extraneous burdens I and had her gigantic resources, i It would have been precipitate ! and led to misunderstanding and (suspicions, Mr. Lloyd-George said | "had we not awaited Americans de | cision. We are now entitled to say that we have waited up to the very | last minute we promised America, and there is no prospect of America | coming in."
