Turk Peace Treaty Signed at Lausanne Ottomans Retain Constanti nople, Regain Eastern Thrace, Enter League of Nations. By AMorlated Pren. Lausanne, July 24.—The Lausanne peace treaty formally establishing peace between the European powers and Turkey was signed. By the treaty Turkey regains east ern Thrace and becomes the bridge between the east and the west. It joins the League of Nations in the footing of equality. Constantinople goes definitely to Turkey. All foreign troops will be with drawn. The treaty makes peace between Greece and Turkey. It permit* the patriarch of the Greek Orthodox church to remain In Constantinople. Cruel Movement. It launches one of the most stu pendous and in some ways the most cruel humaq movements in history by its compulsory exchange of popu lation, the Greeks in Turkey return ing to Greece and the Turks In Greece returning to Turkey., It fails to solve the Armenian problem, Ar menians being obliged to find new havens. It reduced Turkey's size by its rec ognition of detached mandated states like Syria, Mesopotamia and Pal estine. With one stroke of the pen it rids Turkey of Judicial capitulations such as China vainly sought to accom plish for Itself at Washington and which Japan achieved only after two decades of struggle. Americans Prominent. Ill only ono way is Turkey treated differently from other countries—for eign legal advisers will be empowered to receive complaints relating to ar rests and imprisonment of foreigners. The American diplomatic represent atives headed by Joseph C. Grew, min ister to Switzerland, were prominent in all the sessions of the conference. As observers they played a dominat ing role In the last phrases. Attempts to gain preferential treat ment in the future of economic con tracts for foreign companies were defeated, as was also the effort to validate disputed British concessions in the petroleum Helds of Mesopo tamia. Turkey has been at war for 12 con secutive years and conclusion of the Lausanne negotiation* gives her op portunity for a period of national re construction and development. The general treaty, formally end ing the state of war, was signed by Great Britain, Italy, Japan, Greece, Rumania and Turkey. Jugo-Slavia announced at the last minute her refusal to sign on the ground that to do so would be harm ful to her national Interests. The treaty distributes the Ottoman debt among countries like Jugo slavia, which acquired parts of the former Ottoman empire.
