TURK EXPECTING

Says ParIeys Held.

London, Dec. 21.-Turkey expects
the United States to sign a private
treaty with the. Angora government
regarding freedom of the straits,
according to an Exchange Telegraph
dispatch from Lausanne today.
There is good ground for belief
that If America will not sign a pri-
vate treaty with the Kemalists as n
result of the Lausanne meetings. at
which Ambassador Child has partici-
pated, the Turks will not consent to
be bound in any way to the regimes
proposed by European nations" the
Exchange correspondent cabled.
According to this correspondent,
Ambassador Child will proceed at
the earliest possible moment to ar
range a convention call Of the
United States own with the Kemal-
lists. Child, he states, already has
discussed the proposition with Ismet
Pasha and covered the question Of
the rights Of American ships in time
Of war and of peace to pass through
the straits of the Dardanelles and
Bosporus.
"This would put America in a
privileged position similar to that
already enjoyed by the United States
through separate treaty with Ger

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Washington. Dec. 2l.-France soor
may be asked by the United Statei
to place all her cards on the table.
With the success or failure OF tho
American move looking toward a so
luton OF the Old Worlds economic
crisis virtually hanging on the atti
tude of France, this government Is
understood TO be preparing TO ash
Premier polncare for definite state
ment as TO the utmost concessions
he Is willing 10 make on reparations
and kindred questions In order to re
lieve the situation.
This government realizes the Poin.
care government faces a difficult
political situation because of the
strong demand in France for the
use of force in the hope OF compel
ling Germany to pay the huge rep
arations figure which has been i'm
posed upon her. and the inquiry TO
the French government will be pro-
pounded in the most friendly man
ner.
This government has received the
German proposal calling for a com
mission of experts. preferably Ameri-
cans, to revise the reparations down
to the highest possible figure that
Germany can pay. This proposal
was revealed exclusively by the
United Press yesterday and caused
unusual interest in official circles
II is believed that any plan the
United States agrees upon will be
acceptable in the main to Great
Britain, thus making II necessary
to harmonize as much as possible
the wide differences between France
and Germany, II solution Of the
problem is to be reached.
The plan OF this government Is to
get the views of all the powers
and then outline a common ground
upon which negotiations could be
opened, with the United States act
ing as sort of a mediator.
State department officials today
denied that the informal discussions
between this government and the al
lies had reached the stage where
definite American proposal had been
framed and said there was no truth
in reports from London that the
United States, at the request of
trade commission headed by German
Chancellor Cuno, had proposed an
American commission of BUSINESS
men to revise the reparations figure.
This government is inclined to be-
lieve that France, while so far as
suming an unyielding attitude in di-
rect negotiations with the Germans,
will manifest a more conciliatory at
titude in response to direct inquiries
from the United States.
Georges Clemenceau, it is believed
here, soon will confer with the
French government and state that
American public opinion demands
some concessions be made, but that
Germany be forced to pay repara-
tions to the limit of her ability.
