Lausanne.-A review Of the Neal
Eastern conference shows clearly that
the negotiations have reached point
Of danger. The question Of capituln-
lions, or special privileges enjoyed by
foreigners In Turkey, which was tax
en- up. muy make or break the confer.
ence, and this II no because an adverse
decision on capitulations may 10 wound
Turkish national pride that the Turks
may don their fexes and 60 buck to
AngOra. a,rs -.
Everybody realizes the extreme deli
cacy and danger Of the negotiations On
cspltulations. The Turks have re-
jected all suggestions Of the powers,
including the United States, that the
special privileges enjoyed by fOreig.
ners In the past shall be retained more
especially any attempt to have foreign
consular courts try cases involving for
eign residents or foreign property.
Both Ismet Pasha and DIR. Rixa Nur.
pienipotentlaries from Ang0ra. say
that they would resist any attempt to
place Turkey on lower International
standing than smaller and less Import
ant states, like Greece and Mexico /;
they would Insist on complete udmin.
istrative Independence.
DIR. Ria said: 1--WE hear that the
powers. including the United States,
are thinking Of substituting 'juridiclal
guarantees for the hateful expression
capitulatiOns.' .s. -.t
I'm no far as foreign tribunals are
concerned, this will not do; 1t means
the same thing under different name,
and we object to u tranxitOry period.
whereby Turkey would he supposed
gradually to emnncipate herself from
the ancient regime OF capitulntions.
We want complete freedom now"
The leading European powers have
received Important help from japan In
their struggle to keep the foreign
courts in Turkey. Japan herself suf-
fered the same humiliation as Turkey
and sympathIxes with the Turkish at
titude.
The Turks argue that complete ad-
mInistration sovereignty Is perhaps
the most solemn article Of the new
Ottoman national pact. A prominent
Turk said: -f
IF Americans and other foreigners
do not like to be under the authority
of our Turkish courts, then let them
stay away from Turkey. II Turk
were arrested In New York he would
be tried before an American court,
and not a murmur. The same situa-
tion should exist in Turkey"
Befire Tchitcl:erin arrived Mt Lau-
same, the Turks were inclined to
favor admitting foreign warships to

stiffened the Turkish position and Is
met Is now standing for exclusion Of

INDUSTRIAL ENTkRpaisEs.

Hamburg.-The program Of NJ. PoIn'
care, the French premier, for submis'
sion to the Brussels conference, com
prises six definite measures Of allied
control to be accepted by Germany In
return for three-year moratorium,
according to Information received from
a Dutch banker who 10 prominently as.
ISOLATED with high financial circles In
France. =,
The informant states that the plan
already has been submitted to the Bel.
gian government. The six prere.
Quisites to moratorium are declared
to be-:
First, the erection Of a customs
boundary eastward Of the occupied ter
ritory, with the establishment Of q
mixed customs commission, based on
the number Of troops and allied off,
cials IN the occupied area.
Second, participation by allied capI.
tai In all chemical and metallurgicaI
factories In the area having more than
500 employees, to the extent Of not less
than IS per cent and not exceeding 75
per cent.
Third. allied control of indIrec,
taxes In the occupied territory.
Fourth. special measures against the
flight Of German capital abroad. with
taxation Of such funds In foreign
money values. ts
Fifth, stabilization Of the mark
through an International loan secured
by the ReIchsbank's gold reserve.
Sixth, an increase In coal deliveries
bys25 per cent and an increase in re-
parAttote wood deliveries 70 per cent.
According to Information received the
Belgian government objected that the
amount of the customs income was
doubtful, while the cost Of the allied
control organization would be. great,
and also that the proposed boundary
would be harmful to the trade Of the
western powers and apparently aid
former neutral states The Belgians
according to reports, favored the cen
tralixation Of customs control In Ber-

Of the November revolution OF 1918

DETAINED for the last five years.
BerlIn.-Commentln on assurances
that the United States still will main.
tain its military force in the occupied
area of Germany, the Boersen Zeitung
says the Rhinelanders undoubtedly will
rejoice, as certain minor Incidents had
indicated that the Americans on the
Rhine have acted as a restraint on the
French passion for military encroach.
