ment on the subject of the Peace
Settlement with Turkey.
No. 1.
The Secretary of State for the Colonies to the Governor-General of Canada,
[Telegram.]
(Sent 27th October, 1922.)
[Answered by No. 2.]
27th October. Following for your Prime Minister :—
Begins: Yesterday invitations were sent by Governments of
Great Britain, France and Italy to the Japanese, Roumanian,
Yugoslav, Greek and Turkish Governments (both of Constanti
nople and of Angora) to send representatives to Lausanne, 13th
November, to conclude Treaty to end war in East, $vhich would
replace Treaty of Sevres. Russian Soviet Government and
Bulgarian Government also being invited to send to Lausanne,
at a date to be fixed, representatives to take part in discussions
on questions of the Straits, which the Conference will undertake
at a later stage. Inquiry is also being addressed by the three
Governments to the Government of the United States expressing
hope that they will permit United States representative to be
present during Lausanne negotiations in a capacity similar to
that in which United States representative was present during
negotiations at San Remo in 1920, or to take more active part
in the negotiations specially on question of the Straits.
According to arrangements agreed upon with French and
Italian Governments, each Government will be represented at
Lausanne by two plenipotentiaries. Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs will personally act as Chief British Plenipotentiary, and
it is proposed that he should be accompanied by British High
Commissioner at Constantinople. Dominion Governments will
be kept informed from time to time of the general lines of policy
on which British plenipotentiaries propose to proceed, and of
the course of negotiations, and, as in case of the other Treaties
arising out of the Peace settlement, they will of course be invited
to sign new Treaty and any separate instruments regulating status
of the Straits.
His Majesty’s Government trusts that this procedure will be
in accordance with wishes of your Government,
