(h) ihat after Article 130 a new article should he inserted as follows : —
" Nothing in this Treaty purports to affect, or shall be held to affect, in
the territories in question, any spiritual privileges assigned to the Calipli by
the tenets of the Moslem religion."
(c) In their telegram of 24th July the Government of India raise the
question whether there is any distinction of meaning in the Treaty of Sevres
between the terms "Turkish Government" and "Turkey." It seems
possible that the latter was intended to include, and the former to exclude,
the Sultan; but Lord Peel is unable to recognise any clear principle
governing their use, and he is inclined to agree with the Government of
India that it is preferable to use " Turkish Government" wherever it is
desired to express anything but a purely geographical conception.
(d) The Government of India also propose in Article 100 to substitute
"ports" for "territories," to which Lord Peel sees no objection; and
(e) to cancel Article 121. (lis Lordship is not quite clear what are the
precise rights and privileges iu Libya which were left to the Sultan by the
Ireaty ol Lausanne of 18th October 1912, but he assumes that they include
those specified in the Ireaty of 15th October 1912, to which that of the
JSth October was an annexe. The matter is primarily for the Italian
Government; but the Moslem deputation to the Prime Minister appeared to
attach importance to the retention of these rights and privileges, and
Lord Peel would be glad ii. His Majesty's Government could use their good
otiices to that end.
Lord Curzon will observe that the drafts proposed under heads (a) and
(b) are the result of much anxious consideration, and Lord Peel trusts that
they may be accepted.
A copy of this letter is being sent to the Colonial Office and to
Sir E. Grigg.
I am, &c.,
(Scl.) A. lllllTZEL.
The Under Secretary of State,
Foreign Office.
