SENATE TO ADOPT
COLOMBIA TREATY

Favorable action on the Colombia
treaty Is expected early in the

IN American affairs and likewise
informed as to the desires of Mr..
The President elect Is said to have
told q number of Senators that he
would like to see the treaty agreed
to, now that all the objections TO
its adoption apparently have been
removed. Such action, it is pointed
out, would have a good effect not
only on Americas relations with
Colombia, but throughout Central
and South Americas.
Although no. action on the treaty
is looked for at the present session
of Congress, because of the jam of
legislation now pressing for con-
sideration. the belief has been ex-
pressed that the pact may be taken
up during the Senate session from
March 4 to April 4. The Senate
convenes Immediately upon the
death of the present Congress, on
March 4. to consider appointments
from the new administration.

LONDON, Feb. 23.-There was no
sign of complete accord in the at
titude Of the Turkish delegations
when they appeared before the al
lied supreme council at st. James
Palace this morning.
The proceedings were opened by
Premier Lloyd George, who declared
that a peace was signed fast August
with the object OF ending the
worlds greatest war. but that it had
not brought peace to Anatolia. He
said that all the world was anxious
for peace, Turkey no less than the
others, and therefore the great pow
ers had called a conference. He
then requested the Turkish dele
gates to state their views.
Agreed on Three Points.
The Turkish delegates read sep
ate statements and 1t was found
that they were agreed on the three
broad principles, which follow:
First, all countries inhabited by
the Turks. excluding those where
there are Arabian majorities, should
remain a part of Turkey, and within
these areas the Turkish nation
should exercise full sovereignty.
Second-The Turks are willing to
concede to the minorities the same
rights as provided for in the minor
ity clauses of the other treaties
this being subject to the Turks re-
ceiving the same rights where they
are in the minority,
Third-The Turks are prepared to
concede freedom of navigation
through the Dardanelles, provided
Turkish sovereignty is not affected

the demands cover every clause Of

asked to get together and prepare

claims to be heard by the confer
