THE NEAR EAST:

LONDON, March 5. The Morning Post learns authorita- tively that the Allies have decided not to send the proposed commission to investigate the ethnographical statis- ties of Trace and Samyma, owing to the total, Greek and conditional Turkish refusal to accept the commission. The Allies would revoke the decision if the Greeks made the Turkish cer- tain concessions. Premier Calogero: poulos' stated he would have to refer the matter to Athens. Later. Cało geropoulos rejected the suggestion by a distinguished member of the Con ference to take advantage of the fact that he was having tea in the same room as the Turkish delegates to initiate direct negotiations. Any re surned negotiations wis therefore be through the Supreme Council. The paper understands that Grence en tirely opposes any change in the status' of Thrace, but might agree to the in stitution of an autonomous regime in Smyrna which would completely. sale. guard the interests of the Christian population.
