LONDON, May 27.

The changes in the Government have brought into prominence the question of Mr. Austen Chaim berlain and other Conservative ex-Ministers rejoining the Conservative Party:

EXTREMIST CRITICISM EXPECTED.

ANGORA'S PROBABLE ATTITUDE.

(Reuters Scrvice to the Chino Mail.).

CONSTANTINOPLE, May 27.

While the Turco-Greek agreement is likely to provoke a storm of criticism from the 'extremists, it seems improbable that Angora will repudiate it in view of the report that the Council of Commissars and Generals on Friday voted by a majority in favour of acceptance.

Ismet Pasha, the Chief Turkish delegate, is hopeful that peace will be signed this week, but two important questions still remain to be settled, namely the judicial regime, foreigners in Turkey, and the currency in which the Turkish public debt shall be paid.
