As forecast (TIME, Nov. 24), General Ismet Pasha, Premier of Turkey, resigned because of ill-health. Fethi Bey, President of the Grand National Assembly, prominent at the meeting of the League of Nations Council at Brussels (TIME, Nov. 10), was appointed his successor.

General Ismet has been President Mustafa Kemal's most able and loyal lieutenant. He first came into international prominence when he conducted the peace negotiations for the Turkish Republic at Lausanne (TIME, Mar. 10, 1923, et seq).
