Abstract: The file consists of a memorandum by Lord Curzon outlining the discussion undertaken by the Eastern Committee about the future of Constantinople. The first section covers the arguments for and against the ejection of 'the Turk' from Constantinople. The second section discusses which world power would take control of the area should 'the Turk' be removed, and the benefits or problems which would arise as a result. The third section details the idea of an international authority presiding over Constantinople.Physical description: Foliation: the foliation sequence for this description commences at f 18, and terminates at f 19, as it is part of a larger physical volume; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio.
