Formally Signed Today
Treaty Formally Establishing
Peace Between the Euro
pean Powers and Turkey
Signed at 3:15 p. m.
TURKEY REGAINS
EASTERN THRACE,
Constantinople Given Desi-j
nitely to Turkey.—The Ar-1
menian Question Unsettled
—All Troops Withdrawn.
Lausanne, July 24 (By the Associated
Press). —The Lausanne peace treaty
formally establishing peace beetween Eu
ropean powers and Turkey was signed
today. The treaty was signed at 3:15
p. in.
By the treaty of Lausanne which was
signed today. Turkey regains eastern
Thrace and becomes /the bridge between
the East and West. She joins the
League of Nations on the footing of
equality.
Constantinople goes definitely to Tur
key.
All foreign troops will be withdrawn.
The treaty makes peace between
Oree'ce and Turkey.
It permits the patriarchs of the Creek
orthodox church to remain in Constant
tinople.
It launches tine of the most stupendous
and in some ways the most cruel human
movements in history by its compulsory
exchange of population, the Greeks in
Turkey returning to Greece, and the
Turks in Greece returning to Turkey.
It fails to solve the Armenian problem,
Armenians being obliged to find new
havens.
It reduces Turkey's size by its recogni
tion of detached mandates, state the
Syria. Mesopotamia and Palestine.
With one stroke of the pen it rids
'Turkey of judicial capitulations such as
China vainly sought to accomplish for
itself at Washington, and which Japan
achieved only after two decades of strug
gle.
In only one way is Turkey treated
differently from other countries: foreign
legal advisers will be empowered to re
ceive complaints relating to the arrest
and imprisonment of foreigners.
The American diplomatic representa
tives, headed by Jos. C. Grew, minister
to Switzerland, were prominent in all
sessions of the conference. As observers
they playoi. a ilomiimting j-ole in the last
phasrs. ,T*ncy successfully hudiJeCff upon
inclusion in the treaty of clauses en
forcing the application of the principles
of the ojien door and equal opportunity.
Attempts to gain preferential treat
ment in the future.of economic contracts
for foreign countries were defeated, as
was also the effort to validate the dis
puted British concessions in the petro
leum fields of Mesopotamia. Turkey has
been at war for twelve consecutive years,
and the conclusion of the Lausanne ne
gotioations gives her a sorely needed op
portunity for a period of national recon
struction and development.
’ The general treaty formally ending
the stifle of war. Was signed by Great
Britain,, France. Italy. Japan, Greece,
Boumania and Turkey.
.Tugo-Slavia announced at the last
minute her refusal to sign, on the ground
that to do so would be harmful to her
national interests. The treaty distrib
utes the Ottoman debt anlong countries
like Jugo-Slavia. which acquired parts
of the former Ottoman Empire.
Jugo-Slavia Iras agreed to negotiate
directly with the European powers re
garding her possible responsibility in
connection with the Turkish debt.
