/ LAUSANNE. Nov. 2s.--Great Britain,
France and Italy, as The inviting pow
ers Of the Near East conference, sent
a fatty negative reply to the Moscow
delegation tonight on It's demand for
/ unqualified participation in the nego-
tiations here.
The next move Is up to Christian
Rakewsky, chief of the Soviet delega-
tion, who stirred the proceedings on
his arrival from Moscow the first part
of the week, brusquely demanding
equal rights in the conference and an
nouncing Russia would champion Tur~
keys demands here.
The delay in the Allied reply was
due TO Marquis Garroni's hesitation to
close the door finally on Russia. in
view Of Premier Msssoiini's sentiment
in favor of the greatest latitude in the
proceedings.
Mussoiini Favors Reds, But Yields
learn tonight italian adherence to
the Allied policy of barring Moscow
while momentariiy firm, still carries
moral reservations. Mussolinj said in
mis- dispatch to his chief: delegate that
he still maintains the position it
you'd be for the general good OF
permitted TO take part in all settle
ments. He yielded, however, in the
face of the pre-couference paCt IN
which he engaged with England and
France to exclude Russia from all save
| the debates on The status Of the Darda,
nelles.
! British and French delegates do not
believe RakowskY will resent tae re.
cuff tn the extent Of quitting the con-
ference. What they believe more
likely is he Will remain to continue his
1tternpt to use the Turks as pawns,
| IN lc opposing outside the conference
what is believed by Moscow to be an
! attempt or the part of the Allies to
ob the Angora Turks of their national
spirations
Turkish suspicion of future British
commercial maneuyers, comb ned with
! heir open discomfort at what they term
| french betrayal of them, drove Ismet
Pasha into the arms of Ambassador
Child to-day TO sound ont the Ameri-
can attitude on immediate negotiations
( ,or joint treaty.
/ Ismct and Child Confer for Hour
The little Turk minister was clos.
! cd with the ambassador almost AL
,ur and left with the definite answer
/ she United States is not prepared to
! talk treaties. agreements or commercial
arrangements generally with Turkey at
this time. The natural deduction from
Ghild'S reply to isinet is ho has in
20 move here which might embarQss
| yhe negotiations III any degree.
The Tribune learns on high Turkish
authority that the Turks desire peace
here, but having failed in their efforts
| to bargain outside the conference on
their claim to Mosul, their economic
olicy now will be to insist on ex-
plotting the territory in their own way
Just now their hearts are set on de-
vcloping it with American capital. On
the assumDtion Mosul will be returned
to them, they are now in q position,
| in view of the Allied solidarity against
them, to give assurances TO the Amer
leans not only with regard to Mosul
but other parts of Turkey as we'll.
Big Chance for e. s. Capital Seen
Although it is regarded as i'm
probable the Turks will regain Mosul
by diplomatic methods, Ismet's APP
proaches to Child to-day are held
significant OF the future opportunity
for American capital in Turkey. The
| suspicion that certain representatives.
OF American capital here have enter
tained that tae Turks were preparing
to offer economic favors to the British
in return for loans, IL true, seems en-
tirely dissolved now.
On account Of the troublesome
character of the Mosul question and
the unyielding attitude of both sides,
conference and left to some sort OF
regulation directly between the Turks
and British, wherein the League of
Nations may play a part.
Aided by their Turkish allies, who
seemingly obeyed Rakowsky's advice to
make progress by obstruction, the Rus
slams gained minor point in to-day's
proceedings relative TO the status of
four islands in the neighborhood OF
the mouth Of the Straits in the Medi-
terranean. Ismet stolidiy refused to
negotiate this point in the absence of
the Russians on the ground it was q
part OF the Straits question in which
they are interested.
Discussed Other Islands
As his point was denied, Ismet held
his delegation in the conference room
in the capacity of Turkish Observers p
He did not refuse, however, to discuss
another group of islands off the west
ern Asiatic coast, indicating that while
he was willing to stand out on behalf
Of Russia in matters concerning the
Straits he did not intend to support
Russia's demand to take part in all
other Near East Issues.
This may be the big point at issue
between the tu,o aa.aps and the be-
giTIRag OF what Ia already reported to
be the tendency of the Turks to tire
Of seeing themselves represented here
as a part of "Russo-Turks bloc
Ismet declined tonight to comment on
the Allied refusal to concede Rakow-
sl;y's demand for full admittance.
