- London, July 27.

A manifesto by the Aga Khan, the leader of the Indian Moslems, is being published throughout Islam, emphasising that the Lausanne Treaty reveals the earnest desire of Britain, France and the other Western Powers to be good friends with Turkey and Islam. It confers complete freedom on Turkey, the leading statesmen of which now wish to be on good terms with Britain and France. He is sure they will eagerly welcome the renewal of trade. Turkey is on the threshold of a new era. He urges Moslems to help the new State, which will assuredly become the brightest star in Islam.
