The French Premier, M. Leygues, came to London on Thurs-
day, November 25th, to confer with the Prime Minister and left on Monday. It was agreed that the plebiscite in Upper Silesia should be open to natives as well as to residents, and that those who had been born in Upper Silesia but who no longerlived there should vote in other places and at another date, so as to avoid such disorders as the Germans provoked in Slesvig. Count Sforza, the Italian Foreign Minister, arrived in London on Sunday to take part in the discussion of the new situation in the Near East caused by the fall of M. Venizelos. It is under- stood that, while France and Italy are pressing for the restora- tion of certain Greek lands to Turkish misrule, the British Government are unwilling to treat the Asiatic Greeks as whipping. boys for the ex-King Constantine and his German friends. We trust that Mr. Lloyd George and Lord Curzon will adhere firmly to this sane policy. The Turk is a far worse enemy than the ex-King.
