THE LAUSANNE FAILURE,

Lausanne, Feb. 5. The fate of the Treaty is in the balance. Within dive minutes of the time fixed for Lord Cuman's departure, the Allies whittled down the judicial capitulations until they were almost unrecognizable, A gready modified Allied proposal was that a foreign jurist should hold a watching brief in cases where foreigners are concerned, but the Turks rounterproposed reducing their utility to vanishing point. The war indemnity was reduced from fifteen millions Turkish pounde Were ineffectually gold to twelve. Other substantial concessions made-Rester.

Ismet Pasha, interviewed by Reuter, emphatically declared that the failure was due to the econornic clauses of the Treaty and primarily the Allied demand on the Turkish Government to recognise and concessions. He urged the all their predecessors' contracts Government's ignorance of the nature therecf, expressed surprise that the Conference should to wrecked on sach grounds and declared the matter of judicial regime would be accorded the Allied proposals.

RECONSTRUCTION OF AUSTRIA.

Leafeld, Feb. 4.

WOS

Telegrams from Paris record the reat impression which made at yesterday's sitting of the Chu neil of the League of Nations by the report of the Austrian reconstruction,

As Earl Balfour and M. Viviani insisted, what has been achieved by the League of Nations, aided by the Austrians' resolute efforts at self-help, may be regarded as remarkable.

Earl Balfour pointed out that although much undoubtedly remain- ed to be done, the task of internal reform undertakes by Austria had been very largely accomplished, and he faced the future with high courage and great expectations. It remaired now for an indispensable external loan to be raised, which should be relatively easy, seeing that 90 per cent. of the amount needed is already guaranteed by the matins represented on the Counel, and the remaining 7 per cent. is of expected to be provided immediately.

The Westminster Gazette, in a leading article declares that the fact of Austria having in four months arrested the consistent deprecia- desperate tion of four years is a valuable object lesson of hov situation can be swiftly retrieved when international co-operation is applied. A loan issued under, such auspices ought to be a triumphant success, and this, too, is the lesson that will not be it upon the world, whose chief difficulties are to be traced to a want of ready moner. The Madminster Gazette wide significantly: "Sath an operation may get be necessary to move a problem which is more difficult even thun that of Austra"
