State Dept. May Demand That
Both France And Turkey Effect
Peace And Avert New World War
By . BART CAMPBELL
I. N. S. Staff Correspondent
Washington, Sept. 30.—The cri
sis in the Near East may force the
state department to soon make
stern representations to both the
French and Turks that peace must
be effected in the Near East and
the danger of a world var averted,
according to the opinion expressed
today by members of the Senate
foreign relations committee who
are still tarrying at the national
capita!, or who aro keeping in
close touch with the state depart
ment from "back home."
Senator *Ienry Cabot Lodge, of
Massachusetts has communicated
to several of his Senatorial col
leagues here strong disapproval of
the foreign policy which, in his
judgment, encouraged Mustapha
Kemal Pasha in his "drive" toward
Constantinople.
Whip Hand Passed to Paris
While the whip hand has appar
ently passed from London to Paris
since Kemal crushed the Greeks,
some Senators declared the atti
tude 01. France to set herself up as
the dominant military nation of
continental Europe, was not to be
taken "too seriously.”
Financial disaster '-awaits the
French if they persist in pursuing
their present militaristic policy, it
ivas stated by one Senator who
conferred with Secretary Hughes
recently, and who is familiar with
the collapse of the negotiations be
tween the foreign debt funding
commission and the French gov
ernment,
France Running Into Debt
An examination of the last French
budget now in the possession of
the state department, showed that
France is running 20,000,000,000
francs behind her financial resour
ces and is expending 5.500,000.000
francs alone on her military estab
lishment. France cannot “play such
a dangerous financial game indefin
itely” it was predicted and will
come to the end of her resources,
sooner or later, unless she modi
fies the present Poincare policy of
the “m.'tiled fist.”
Ltate Dept. Concerned
The state department was repre
sented as entertaining both con
cern and irritation over the atti
tude of the French government, to
wards the Near Eastern Question
and of the failure of France (1) to
show the slightest disposition to
pay any part of the principal or in
terest she owes the United States.
(2) to ratify the naval limitation
treat-.- or any of the other major
pacts of the Washington confer
ence and (3) to discourage the im
pression that even more important
than French military supplies was
the French military advice which
contributed largely to the Turkish
victory which is said to be con
strued at Paris as adding immeas
urably French military prestige
while overthrowing at. the same
time the whole British Near East
policy with resulting complications
of the gravest nature which now
threaten to involve the United
States.
