Will Not Agree to Turner and Lodg
 as Arbitrators.
 Ottawa, Ont, Feb. 23.-The Alaskan boundary commission was discussed at meeting of the cabinet today.
 In an interview with a representative Of the Associated Press cabinet min ister said that while 1t might not be proper to say that a protest had been made by Canada against the nomination Of Senators Turner and Lodge to be rep resentatives of the United States on the commission, a remonstrance had been made on the grounds that Canada was not being fairly treated in the matter.
 When Canada gave way to arbitration by a tribunal as now purposed, 1t was with the understanding that the judges of the United States Supreme Court would be appointed to sit on the case with Brit ish and Canadian judges on the other side. The United States. he said. has failed to carry out this clause. Instead, the United States government has ap- pointed, particularly in Senators Lodge and Turner, men who cannot be called impartial jurists of repute'' as required by the treaty. On the contrary. they are looked upon as men who are strongly an- tagonistic to Canada's claims. Until an answer is obtained to this remonstrance. Canada will not name her commissioners.
