UNABLE TO AGREE
OVER PRISONERS

Copenhagen, Dec. 19. The
negotiations between James
O'Grady, representing Great pri

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."
