London,
.uly
25th. —The
outstanding
note of
all
comment
in
this
morning’s
newspapers,
on the sizning
of the
Near
East
treaty
at
lLausanne
yesterday,
is
a
frank
admission
of
Turkey’s
complete
diplomatic
victory over
the
Allies.
The
new treaty
nevertheless
is
regarded
by
some
commeantators
as
a
good
one.
The
“*Times’’,
for
instance,
describes
the
document
as
a model
oif generosity
and
justice,
while
the
‘'Daily Telegraph”’,
which
takes
a
gioomy
view,
expresses
th2 opinion
that
if the
treaty of Sevres
had been ratitied the
settiement
ecreatad
thereby woufll very
sosn
have
been
shat-
terad.
[riendship with Turkey is
1 mora
'
or
less
tradilicnal
policy of the British
|
conservative
party
and
in
that
quarter
|
there
was
no disposition
to complain over
.
what
Turkey gained.
Elsewhere
there
|
were
serious
misgivings
regarding
the
.
{uture,
particularly
as
it
pertains
to
'
Armenians
and Jother
Christians
who
re-
.
main
under Turkey’s
dominicn.
