LAUSANNE TREATY.

REJECTION NOT UNEXPECTED..

I

LONDON, March 7. ⠀ The rejection of the Lausanne treaty was not altogether unexpected. In well-informed quarters in London it is believed that Britain, while still maintaining her stand on the terms of the Treaty is not unwilling to agree to re-open negotiations if the Turks give evidence of a real desire to reach a

settlement.

THE TURKISH TERMS.

CONSTANTINOPLE, March 7, Towards the end of the debate in the Assembly on the Lausanne Treaty a motion was tabled signed by 150 deputies declaring that in the event of the complete independence of Turkey regarding financial and economic ad ministrative questions being safeguarded the Government should sign the peace but a motion was finally adopted authorising the Government to pursue negotiations on the following bases: abolition of capitulations; postpone mead of a settlement of economio and financial questions, also Mosul the abandonment of Karagatch, the acceptance of other clances drafted by the Turkish delegation and the eraction of reparations from Greece.
