London,
Feb.
23rd. —At today’s
s
s-
sion of the Allied and Turkish delegations
the fact
was brought
out that the nation-
alists
and
the
Constantinople
contingent
were
practically
agreed
upon
what Tur-
key
wants.
The
two
delegates
agreed
on
broad
principles
of
their
claims.
These
looked
towarde
maintaining
the
Integrity
of
the
Ottoman
kmpire,
but
with
recognitiion
of
the
fact
that
the
Allies
would
maintaih
mandates
over
certain
varts
of former
Turkish provin-
ces.
They
insisted
or
the rights
of mi
norites
under
these
mandates
and
de-
manded
also
the return
of
Thrace
and
Smyrna
to
Turkey.
The
liberty cf the
straits
and military and financial
contro!l
in Constantinople
were
insisted
upon.
London,
Feb.
23rd.—The
Labour Party
and the Trades Union National
Congress
at a conference
today
on
the
question
of
unemployment
passed
a
resolution
de-
claring
the
Govt’s. policy of extending
the
unemployment
insurance
act
was
lamentable
and
inadeqate
to
meet
the
present
situation.
‘‘The
Govt.
action
bears
little relation
to
the
‘existing
hu-
man suffering’’, the resolution
added.
It
proposed
econtinuance
of
coastitutional
parlia.nentary
efforts
to
induce
Govt.
action
ior the benefit
of the
unemployad
and urged that every opportunity
be
tak-
en
to use
the bye-elections
to bring
pres-
sure
to bear
wpon
the Govt.
through
the
defeat
of
the
coalition
candidate
Mr.
Thomas,
the railwaymen’s
leader
in mov-
ing the resolution
denied that Parliament
was incapable of dealing with unempiny-
ment
which
was largely due,
he
said,
to
Great Britain’s foreign policy.
He would
deplore any
direct
action
by
the
labour
interests,
he said, noiding that
a general
strike
‘would
be
f{utile
and
contending
that
Parliament
alone
could
solve
the
> problem.
In the
course
»f the conference
a
livelyscene
occurred
when
.a
resolu-
tion providing that
a
deputation
of
the
unemployed
be
allowed
tn address
the
delegates,
was
defeated
“amid
disorder,
and
also
a demand
for the
right
of
free
speech.
