SIT AX VlUMJiii J Allljl'J viim. 'ihhhm wKims PARIS, Sept. 20. (By The As sociated Press.) Definite assur ance that there will be no war In the Near East and the calling ot a peace conference for the set tlement nf the Turkish problem, were the chief results of the al lied meeting this afternoon. Pre mier Poincare, Lord Curzon and Count Sforza were the participants in the conference. ' The eight interested powers In cluding the Angora Government, will gather around the peace table within three weelts, probably nt Rome or Venice, and make a new treaty with Turkey to take the place Of the treaty of Sevres. The eight nations called to gether are Great Britain, France, Italy, Japan, Turkey, Greece, Ru mania and Jugo-Slavia. Japan's inclusion at the last mo ment came as a surprise. It was due to Lord Curzon's insistence. The British foreign secretary told Premier Poincare that hl Gov ernment frankly feared the close association it wan reason to be lieve had existed between Moscow and Angora, and Japan's presence was desired to offset this bolshevik Influence. It was also explained that Japan was a signatory of the treaty ot Sevres, which is to be abandoned for the new agreement and was entitled to be present for that reason. It is remarked in French cir cles, however, that the participa tion of Japan Insures another voto for British policy in any issue which may arise In the confer ence. M. Poincare in consenting to presence of Japan demanded also the presence of Rumania and Jugo-Slavia. While the United States was not included among the eight countries to participate it is re garded as certain that a mere in timation from the American Gov ernment that it desirea to attend, even as an observer would b fol lowed by instant invitation from the lilies. .
