[23] The italics are mine. Discrimination against British trade from Mosul to Alexandretta, for example, might be used to force Great Britain to abandon many of her claims in northern Mesopotamia.

[27] A not unrepresentative Greek view is the following: “Nationalist Turkey became, in a military sense, French territory. Political missions, military missions, propaganda missions, financial missions, found their way from Paris to Angora. The entire credit of the French Republic was placed behind Kemal. The warships of France and the liners of the Messageries Maritimes became Turkish transports, and the French arsenals were placed at the disposal of the Turks. Once the ally of Kemal, France supported him to the fullest extent of its ability and its resources.” A. T. Polyzoides, “The Greek Collapse in Asia Minor,” in Current History, Volume XVII (1923), p. 35.
[28] Material regarding the Lausanne Conference is scattered and fragmentary. The text of the proposed treaty is to be found in L’Europe Nouvelle (Paris), February 24 and March 10, 1923; a summary is given in The Times (London), February 1, 1923. The newspaper accounts which I have used are those of The New York Times, The Times (London), The Manchester Guardian, The World (New York), and the Christian Science Monitor (Boston). For reports and editorial comment in weekly periodicals I have consulted The Near East, L’Europe Nouvelle, Journal des Débats, The New Statesman (London), The Nation (New York). The following magazine articles have proved useful: “The Lausanne Conference,” in Current History, Volume XVII (1923), pp. 531–537, 743–748, 929–930; Saint-Brice, “De la Ruhr à Lausanne,” in Correspondance d’Orient (Paris), February, 1923; “The Oriental Labyrinth at Lausanne,” in the Literary Digest, April 21, 1923, pp. 19–20; H. Froidevaux, “Les négociations de Lausanne et leur suspension,” in L’Asie Française, 33 year, No. 208 (Paris, 1923), pp. 8–10; J. C. Powell, “Italy at Lausanne,” in The New Statesman, Volume XX (1922), pp. 291–292; A. J. Toynbee, “The New Status of Turkey,” in the Contemporary Review, Volume 123 (1923), pp. 281–289; P. Bruneau, “La question de Mossoul,” in L’Europe Nouvelle, February 3, 1923, pp. 138–140. For some of my information regarding the Lausanne Conference I am indebted to Djavid Bey.
