ALLIES WILL PERMIT TURKS
POSSESSION OF CONSTANTINOPLE
Premier Lloyd George Defends .Decision as Fulfilment of
Pledge to Indian Moslems Who Fought in War --,The
Straits Will Be Free and Garrisoned by Entente.
A despatch from London says:—The
decision not to oust Turkey from Con-
stantinople was reached by the Allied
Supremo Council only after long con-
sideration of the diflieultles in the
Turkish situation, Premier Lloyd
George deeiared in the Uouse of Gout -
mons on Thursday,when the question
of tbe future of Turkey was brought
up for debate. The decision, said the
Premier, was n balance of advantages
and disadvantages, and It was upon'
this: balance and after weighing care-
fully. all the arguments pro and com
that the Council concluded that, cu
the whole, the better coer.% for achime
ing the common end was to retain the
Turk in the capital of the Bosphorus.
Referring to the agreement made
early In the war under which Russia
was to obtain Cozzetantinoile Mr, Lies d
George said this agreement bad ended,
so tar as- Russia was concerned, by
the revolution of 1917, and the peace
of Brest -Litovsk.
Ie reiterated his pledge that there
would bo "a different porter at the
gates,' however: It would be the
heightot folly again to trust the
guardianehip of these gates to a people
who had betrayed tbei< trust, he de-
dared, and never again would tlzoso
gatss be dosed by the Turks in the
face of Drttisit rahipa:.
The Premier referred to the "per-
fectly deliberate pledge given by the
British Government lu January, 1018,
inht wasr'
watch e t ass{;.teal that Great
:ita:in was not fighting to deprive
the Turks of Constantinople snbject
to the Strait beinginter=nationalized
and neutralized, and heremarked
parenthetically thea thea wee what
would be done with the Stralte, This
pledge, he explained, was not 'an otter

made to re-aestree the English people
and the MoIisntmedans of India, Ire
pointed seat that Great Bzitaiu was the

world, and that as a result of the Gov:
