§ 39. Major GLYNasked the Prime Minister whether such representations to the Allied and Associated Powers can now be made as will enable the Peace Treaty with the Ottoman Empire to be considered and ratified in London, since the interests of the British Empire are so deeply concerned by the conclusion of an early peace with Turkey, and so far no progress in this direction has been found possible?
§ 50. Mr. NEWBOULDasked the Prime Minister whether steps will be taken to accelerate the conclusion of peace with Turkey, in view of the fact that the United States of America cannot now be expected to accept a mandate for any part of the Turkish Empire?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThe British Government are anxious to have an early meeting for the settlement of the Turkish problem. They are in communication with the Allied and Associated Governments with that object. I quite agree with my hon Friend the Member for Clackmannan and Eastern Stirling that the conclusion of an early peace is in the interest not only of the British Empire, but of the whole world.
