The chief points of the Allied plan for the Straits,

which will now go through, are :—(1) An International Commission, under the League of Nations, with a Turkish President, to control the Straits. (2) Free passage for the merchant ships of all nations. (3) Warships up to 10,000 tons to have free passage in peace. (4) Neutral warships of the same tonnage to have free passage in war time. (5) The areas adjoining the Straits to be de- militarized—that is, not to be garrisoned—and the Turkish area not to be fortified. (6) The Constantinople garrison not to exceed 12,000 men.
