Since the signatures of the Franco-Kemal agreement were still fresh, the Daily of November 11, 1921, sharply turned its editorial against France, contrasting its position with that of England: “France wanted after victory to exterminate her defeated enemies, offend her friends, sacrifice everyone and everything on her altar.”

The same article found that “it is believed in England that the ‘Triple Alliance’ does not exist”, and conveyed the idea presented as possible and appropriate in Lloyd George’s The Observer, seen as a tool: “the strengthening of the new coalition, consists of England, Italy and Greece. The newspaper joined the proposal, posing the question: “It is appropriate, no doubt. But strong? Unfortunately, Greece cannot answer this question.” The same newspaper published replies from London outlining the problems of British leadership and diplomacy.

According to one reading of events, British decision makers believed that the Franco-Kemal Treaty “demonstrated that [η Γαλλία] favorably relates to the idea of ​​peace. At the same time, an article by a diplomat in a London newspaper was reprinted announcing the British Foreign Secretary’s initiative: “Lord Corzon, you have already stated to Mr. Gunarin that the Allies reserve the right to determine the basis of the recent negotiations for the restoration of peace between Greece and Turkey intends to draw up a general plan for the general policy of the allies in the East, which, according to the assurances of official British circles, has already been widely approved by the Italian government.

At the same time, another issue that divided the Greek side was brought to the fore: procedures were launched to fill the post of ecumenical patriarch, which had remained vacant since 1918 after the abdication of Herman V. The newspaper wrote about this: “The actions of the Aminites are aimed at two things: firstly, to the immediate election of a patriarch and, secondly, to the election of the former Metropolitan of Athens, Meletios Metaxakis.”
