Replying to another question, Mr. Bonar Law said that the Allies, of instead of the two-thirds majority now re- course, were assisting in resisting attack.

Mr. Malone: Have the Turks been informed what the Greeks and the Allies are fighting for, in view of the fact that the Turks have not yet signed the Tresty?
