Blame Massacre 0n Greek ‘Troops

LONDON. March 12.——ltespon- sibllity ‘for the recent massacre of Turkish civilians in tile Vllayet of Aidin is placed upon the Greek “my of occupation by an Inter- national Investigation Commission, appointed to enquire illto the re- suits of Greek occupation of Smy- rna and thc surrounding districts,

The commission. which consists of Generals Buncust for France, liare for Britain. and Dallolio for Italy, and Admiral Bristol for the United ‘States, report their enquiry has proved that tile general con- dition of’ (‘bristlntls in the Aidin Vllayet have been satisfactory and their safety has not been threaten- ed, but that tile Greeks diti nothing to prevent the manifestations of religious hatred round ‘Smyrna.

Tile report makes the charge that the Greeks fur from appearing as the executors of n mission of civil- lzation. at once allowed their oc- cnpation to assume the aspect of conquest anti a crusade. The Greek are accused ill the report of being responsible for the grave troubles which. during thc advance of the Greek troops. stained the advance with blood. Tho Greeks alone, the report holds. were responsible for thc massacre.

It is zldilt-tl that fllemlassacre trns not prepared bllt that the Greek trolnmllndant. should have, and could have taken precautions to keep his troops in hand, while as a matter of fact, their wcariness llntl tile strain on their nerves as well as fear led them to commit, “without provocation. a veritable massacre of defencelcss Turkish civilians."

Greek officers who were present the report tahorges "entirely failed ill their duty."

lt is further zlverrod by the Conl- nlissioners that tlle Greek occupa- tion which in theory was designed to maintain order, "has in fact all lilo forms of annexation." and that the occupation should be entrusted to Allied troops. Annexation of the urea in question to Greece, it is zlssorlctl, would he contrary to the principle of nationalities. for the wiiolil region now occupied with the exception of the towns of Sill- yrnn nlld Avalll, is populated pre- dominantly by Turks.

'I'nl'k|sll national sentiment which has already given evidence of rc- sistnnce to annexation, the report declares, will yield only to a mili- tary expedition "which Greece a- lone, could not successfully carry out.‘
