PRESENT DANGER If 11 AVERTED, FRANGEBELIEVES English Government Expected to Accept Kemal Proposal for Peace Parley. COMPLICATIONS ARE FEARED Power Behind Creek Regime Causing Grave Concern in Thrace Policy. By United Pres* PARIS, Oct. 2. —lmmediate danger of war between Great Britain and Turkey in the Near East has been averted through the peace proposals of Mustapha Kemal, the French foreign office believed. Quai D’Orsay was of the opinion that the English government would accept the proposal of Kemal, leader of the Turkish Nationalists, that a preliminary peace parley be held in Mudania, Asia Minor, tomorrow. Government Accepted. The French government accepted the Kemalist plan immediately after it had been informed of it by Yusuf Kemal, Turk foreign minister. Yusuf’s communication was relayed to the governments at Rome and London—and France waited. This summarizes Kemal’s plan: 1. That representatives of Turkey, Great Britain, France, Italy and Greece meet at Mudania Tuesday for a preliminary peace conference, at which it is hoped that an immediate armistice can be reached, and the basis of a final peace conference to be held about Oct. 15 worked out. Operations Be Suspended 2. That the military operations of Kemal in the Chanak and Ismid areas of the neutral zones be suspended, pending the Mudania conference. S. That Turkey he allowed to occupy Thrace as far as the Martiza River at once. This claim is made on the ground that it is necessary to prevent atrocities on the Turks by the Greeks. The attitude of Greece in the matter is causing the French grave concern. Greek Policy Feared It was feared that the new revolutionary government which was organized by Colonel Gonatas, the power behind George, 11, for the sole purpose of defending Thrace against a Turkish occupation, would complicate matters. Franklin Bouillon was given the ciedit by the French foreign office for apparently averting a war between the Turks and British. The envoy who has been in conference with K inal at Smyrna was highly praised by the press.
