REALTORS TOPR0bE
DANIELS CHARGES
Must Prove Alleged Manipu-
Iation by Agents, Asso-
citation Head Hints.

Charges by the Navy Department
that real estate agents and owners
OF Washington are deliberately ma
nipulating the rental industry, and
indicating. with other things, that
the housing shortage here is mostly
fictitious. will be Investigated by the
Real Estate Brokers' Association. it
was declared last night by H. L.
Rust. president of the organization.
Mr.. Rust and other real estate men
refused :, to. comment peraonally on
the report made public yesterday by
Secretary Daniels. Capt. Jafrfess r.
Oyster. chairman of the District Rent
Commission, said that he had not re-
ceived a copy of the charges. He
manifested much interest when told
over. the telephone of the action of
the Navy officials.
The Real Estate Brokers' Associa-
tion is now conducting a comprehen-
sive survey Of the housing situation
in Washington through a specially
appointed committee, headed by
Charles w. Fairfax Mr.. Rust said
that this committee will be authorized
to look into the allegations made by
the government officials, with a view
to determining the soundness of the
charges.
1t was Indicated by the realtors
head that the statements issued
through the Navy Department were
OF such serious nature that they
must be either proved or disproved.
Mr.. Fairfax announced last night
that he will call a meeting of his
committee sometime this week. 1t is
probable that the report of Com
mander Klein, who made the investi-
cation for Secretary Daniels. will
provide the principal topic for dis
cussion.
Calling attention to the warning is
sued to Los Angeles real estate men
this week by Admiral Rodman, in
command Of the Pacific feet, when
removal Of the warships from Los
Angeles harbor was threatened unless
rentals were reduced and houses pro.
vided. Mr.. Fairfax pointed out that
the Navy Department is apparently
conducting a campaign in behalf of
it's personnel.
1.-The mere fact that Admiral Rod
man deemed it necessary to consider
removal Of the fleet from that harbor
would indicate that WASHINGTON IA
not the only city facing a housing
shortage said Mr. Fairfax. Our
committee is now receiving data from
more than dozen large cities from
which figures on the building situa.
ton were requested. In each Gaze
the conditions are virtually the same
especially in those cities where re-
strictive rental legislation is in force
or is impending"
Mr.. Fairfax refused to comment or
the announced result Of the Navy De-
partment investigation, further than
to say that specific charges, with
names and figures, should have been
given. He said that the report wop,d
seem to be an Indictment against all
real estate agents and owner. in
Washington.

j. S. OFFICIALS MAY
INSIST UPON OPEN
DOOR IN TURKEY
State Department Studies
Agreement by France, Italy
and Great Britain.
by the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
While no protest has been made
thus far by the State Department
against the tripartite agreement by
France, Great Britain and Italy, de.
nnins spheres of influence in Turkey,
officials stated yesterday that this did
not mean that no objection would be
made against any provisions viewed
as contravening an open door policy
in Turkey. The open door principle
was insisted upon by the United
States in the Turkish settlement. it
was said, when President Wilson was
asked in March by the French gov
ernment for his views on the tenta-
tive draft of the Turkish treaty
What March 24th Note Said.
The American note of March "a
said: 1T is the understanding of the
government of the United States that
whatever territorial changes or ar
rangements may be made in the for
mer Ottoman empire. such changes
or arrangements will in no way place
American citizens or corporations of
any other country in a less favorable
situation than the citizens or corpora
tions Of any power party to this treaty
In snome quarters 1t was contehded
yesterday that the second paragraph
Of article 2 of the tripartite agree
nient did violate this principle. in ex-
clnding from the particular spheres
OF influence reserved for each of the
three powers the nationals of the
other two contracting parties.
The paragraph in question reads:
The contracting powers undertake
not to apply, nor to make or support
applica tions on behalf of their citi-
zens. for Industrial or commercial
concessions in an area in which the
special interests of one of the said
powers are recognized, except in cases
where such power declines or is un-
able to take advantage of it's special
position"
Although the cabled summary show
ed article ten of the agreement to
provide against any prejudice to the
rights of nationals of non-signatory
states to free access for commercial
and economic purposes, the full text
of the article, according to some off,
cials, may be construed otherwise. 1t
reads:
Nothing in this agreement shall
prejudice the right of citizens Of
third states to free access for com.
mercial and economical purposes to
any of the areas defined in article
five, subject to the reservations con-
tanned in the treaty of peace with
Turkey. or which have been volun-
tarily accepted for themselves in the
present agreement by the contract
ing powers" This latter clause, it
was stated yesterday, was capable of
being construed as in effect multiplying
the previous declaration of equal op-
portunity to all nations.
Acting upon the principle of equal
commercial opportunity for all ma
tions in Turkey as laid down in the
American note, the United States al
ready sought to apply that precept
in Mesopotamia. Inquiry was made
several months ago Of Great Britain
concerning the reported French Brit
ish agreement over the exploitation
of oil in the Mesopotamian area. This
correspondence has not been made
public.
