Presidents Note To Allies On The
Subject Is Made
Public.
FOR OPEN DOOR POLICY
Stress Is laid On Protection Of Amer
lean Interests as Well as Those
Of Other Countries In Final
Solution.

acknowledgements Of Presi-
dent Wilson's opinion that the often
repeated intention of the Allies that
"the anomaly Of the Turks in Europe
should cease" ought to be carried out
in framing the Turkish treaty charac-
terized the American rejoiner to the
recent Allied note transmitting infor-
nation ds to the status Of treaty nego-
tiations.
While the strength of arguments for
retention Of the Turks in Constanti-
nople was recognized, the note said,
the American government believes
that the arguments against it are far
stronger and contain certain impera-
tive elements which 1t would not seem
possible to ignore" The American re-
Joiner was handed to the French am
bassador here on March "a for trans
mission to Premier Millerand and is
made public by the State department
on advices that it had been delivered.
Representation Not Advisable.
President Wilson, it says, docs not
deem it advisable in the present cir
cumstances that the United States
should be represented at the confer
ences, as suggested by the Allied COM
munication. He feels, however, it was
added, that as this government is vi
tally interested in the future peace of
the world it should frankly express its
views on the proposed solutions Of the
different questions connected with the
Turkish treaty"
Comment on some Of the territorial
phases and on the whole economic pro-
gram Of the proposals as to the treaty
was deferred pending more complete
Information as to the objects sought.
The note takes occasion to say, how
ever, that It is the understanding Of
the government Of the United States
that whatever territorial changes may
be made In the former Ottoman en-
pre-, such changes or Arrangements
viii in no way place American citi-
cents or corporations or the: citizens
or corporations Of any other country
in less favorable situation than the
citizens or corporations Of any power
party to this treaty" :, -. ~
The American. expression notes
with pleasure that provision is made
for Russian representation on the in
ternational council which it proposed
shall be established for the govern
ment OF Constantinople and the
straits" In this connection it adds,
"This government is convinced that
no arrangement that Is now made con-
corning the government and control Of
Constantinople and the straits can
have any element OF permanency un:
less the vital interests of Russia in
those problems are carefully provided
for and protected and unless it is un-
derstood that Russia, when it has a
government recognized by the civil
lied world, may assert it's right to be
heard in regard to the decisions now
made"

EASTER
By Alfred WenZ

I was walking over a field today and
saw sprig of green. An alfalfa
crown has budded and is pushing into
leaf, though the snow has not all left
US and winter tarries reluctant on its
way.
A green leaf from out the cold earth,
yet it causes no surprise. So accus-
toned have / become to the yearly
miracle of spring that I should be
struck with wonder if no leaf appeared.
But the resurrection OF life from the
tomb of winter is unsearchable and
fraught with meaning, for life has
mysteries we may not fathom, and the
expanding leaf echoes the word OF the
an gel to the grief stricken, wondering
women at the tomb of the Lord he
is not here; He is risen.'
The leaf I saw lifts itself untroubled
toward the sun, and the next year and
the next, whether war still RACES or has
ceased, other leaves will do the same
and grow in softening benedictioq. even
over shell-torn soil and graves newly
made Of brave men destroyed in sacrl-
fee for principles of right.
Each spring is the Easter of the year,
bursting open the tomb of winter. Life
is eternal. Man 3 warfare is an OBJ
struction but for. the moment to the
orderly processes of life, and the t'as-
ter season will continue at every ap-
pointed time, the unfolding leaves
Speaking the message of immortality.
