RUSSIA'S ATTITUDE A WORRY
Soviet to Fore as the Willing

Nervousness and Despair Quite
Apparent Among Leaders.
tBy the Associated tress.,

| Lausanne, Des. 5--Turkey and EU-
rope have apparently drifted so far
apart on the great issues of the near
/ east conference that the pessimists
| have a fruitful field for unhappy
| representations of a complete col
lapse of the pourparlers and the re-
sumption of war in southeastern Eu-
rope.
Such a elimination of the confer
ence discussions could easily be ar
! gued as a strong poSS bility but any
such argument based on a reasonable
| hypothesis would leave out the fact
| that Europe needs peace and that
Turkey has constantly proclaimed her
need for building up international re-
| lations in acquiring capital to develop
her immense resources.
The frenzied characters of yester-
day proceedings in VIII ch Russia
came to the fore as the willing cham
pion of Turkish autonomy is indica-
tive of the extreme nervousness OF Eu-
rope and the general unsettled condi-
tions which provoked feeling of genu-
inc despair on the part of the confer
ence leaders.
