) The open door was insisted upon by
the United States in the Turkish settle
ment. it was said, when President Will
son was asked in March by the French
government for his views on the tenta-
tive draft of the Turkish treaty.
The American note of March "a said:
1T is the understanding of the gov
ernment of the United States that what
ever territorial changes or arrangements
may be made in the former Ottoman en-
pire, such changes or arrangements will
in on way place American citizens Or
corporations of any other country in
less favorable situation than the citizens
or corporations of any power party to
this treaty."
In some quarters it was contended
that the second paragraph of article 2
of the tripartite agreement did violate
this principle in excluding from the par
tlcular sphere 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 sunnart- -a,n--z
pGcations on 4hehnffercfaI concessions, III
an area in which the special interests
of one of the said powers are recognized,
except in cases. where such, power de.
elines or is unable to take advantage of
ITS kpeCld1 pOSftiOu.
Although the cabled summary showed
Article x of the agreement to provide
against any prejudice to the rights OF
nationals of nonsignatory states to free
access for commercial and economic
purposes, the full text of the article.
according to some officials, may be con-
str1led otherwise. It reads:
Nothing in this agreement shall pre-.
judice the right of citizens of third
states TO free access for commercial and
economic purposes to any Of the areas
defined in article Y subject to the res
ervations contained in the treaty of
peace with Turkey or which have been
voluntarily accepted for themselves IN
the present agreement by the contract
ing powers
This later clause, it was stated. was
capable of being construed as in effect
nullifying the previous declaration OF
equal opportunity to all nations.
Acting upon the principle of equal
commercial opportunities for all nations
in Turkey as laid down in the American
note. the United States already has
sought to apply that precept in Meso,
potamia. Inquiry was made several
months ago Of Great Britain concerning
the reported French-British agreement
over the production of oil in the Meso-
potamia area.
This correspondence has not been
made public

Labor Leaders Fear
Threat of Open Shop
in Attack on Gornpers
Special to the Daily Tribune.

Washington, Nov. Jonathan Bourne
Jr, president of the Republican public
ity association. one Of the Republican
national committee organizations, served
notice today that Samuel Gompers, head
of the American Federation Of Labor, IS
another despot to be dethroned," char
acterizing him as exclusive, monopoi-
stic and domineering.'
He asserts ''Mr. Gompers is or ought
to be aware that the tide Of public SEN
timent has turned against the false ecen-
omic doctrines he espouses. The inner
ent right of every man to earn accord
ing to his ability is gaining the recogni-
ton that it should and it will prevail in
spite of the opposition of Mr.. Gompers
and his ilk."
Labor leaders here consider this the
opening of fight for the open shop to
be waged by Republican leaders.
