TURKS ADAMANE AGAINST
 GREEK ORTHODOX CHURCH

Lausanne, Dec. 14 (By the A. P.>- Although Turkey, was conciliatory to- day on the great question of accepting some form of supervision from without on, the general treatment of the Chris tian populations inhabiting Turkey, sne proved adamant in insisting upon the deportation from Constantinople of tho supreme patriarch of the Greek Ortho- dox church.
 This is one of the most important is- sues of the Lausanne conference. Around it surge all the hfStoI:eS and religious differences between Christian ity and Mohammedanism. As the Turks consider Constantinople their sacred city they resent that it's soil should serve as the permanent seat of the pontiff of the Greek Christian church they maintain that Athens or Rome, or some other avowedly Christian center should be chosen as his place of resi- dence
 At the meeting of the sub-comm fssion on the exchange of populations this af- ternoon the allied delegates somewhat dfidently brorSSt up the question oi the Greek patriarch, knowing full well the dangers surrounding any discussion of this delicate religious problem. I'm. mediately the Ottoman representative arose and insisted that the patriarch must go, because he had been mixing in politics, to the detriment of the Otto. man state.
 A debate of considerable asperity en sued. The Greek delegate warned tht sub-commission that Greece would
 probably refuse to, sign any treaty which authorized such step. Tn; meeting was somewhat hastily adjourn 1 ed, but another attempt to reach aT ! l two.
 | When the probable return of Constan ! tinOple to the Turks was announced a Athens as the inevitable outcome o . the. Greek defeat in Asia-M.nor, tn , greatest excitement arose among tn, 1 Athenians, who foresaw the possibilit !! of the deportation of the patriarch l Former Premier Eenizelos has receive; countless messages from devout Greek i tInploring him to make no surrender cl 1 the issue of the patriarch.
 :; Many American churchmen hav : shown great interest in the Greek Or thodox church, especially members 70 ! the Episcopal church.. In 1920 .Bisho ] the Greek patriarch at Constantinop., l where ne laid the basis of close un Asderstanding. .f4s By announcing today her intention Q
 joining the league of nations as soon a ?.-peace is signed at Lausanne, Turke virtually admitted that she would .t cept the league of nations supervisfo T. over the Christian populations in Tur key.
 The sub-commission for the study ( the future administration of the strait
 of the Dardanelles and the Bosphoru

 several points still remain unadjuste, Today's developments, despite tn

FARM BLOC TO HASTEN
 REPORT OF CREDITS BILL

Washington, Dec 14.-Plans were made today by senate champions of farm credits legislation to bring to a head earlier than first scheduled, ther effort to set aside the administration shipping bill in the senate.

The senate agriculture committee Ss' called to meet tomorrow to act on ths Norris bill. Committee members said they expected the bill to be reported ia. yorably tomorrow or Saturday and de clared they would urge its being giver immediate right Of way in the senate Administration leaders promised tc resist such a movement announcini their readiness to lay aside the shippins oill when the general farm credits bill IS ready, but they arc against giving way to the Norris export bill.
 Senator Jones. in charge of>the ship ping bill, failed today to lengthen tn, senate sessions by an hour to expediti the measure because of democratic ob 1 jection.
 The shipping bill was attacked b, Senator Fletcher. of Florida, demora; as unsound and unviSe. Declaring h favored building up an American mer chant marine as much as any admins tration spokesman, Senator F1etche said that subsidy is not the remedy. We need an Amerrcan merchant ma rine." he declared, but that's not say ing we must pay a subsidy of s3o.ooO. 900 annually for hftee nyears to a feT privats operators. A subsidy will no give 1t to us.
