] e 2ilsnste u Isfnet Pasha, the Turk, is
daegaase;; but he does have a vote
pot Olii'i modern diplomacy, in which
Suc1 7rE Is States suffers a great dis
the u. tn~e in this encounter with the
p0s smoU No dispatches here it is freely
Am !1tog that Turkey, reborn from
sdnl 0sSes Of defeat and firmly de-
the aSns' her independence of the
n sltarp powers, is Russia's answer
Fes ssa noTiey of isolation imposed up

ff r.. and the demands made by 1smet
Das ~ at at Lausanne are demands pre-
gasl d in r, conference with Moscow.
Pa Ta+;yp and foreign diplomats at
sra nf are saving today that the
ssD Mace to argue against Turkish
gs s. is not at Lausanne or even

" U0l rooret is expressed in American

he the power of Russia. A new war
#sgainst Turkey would be very near
IN a new war against Russia, and of
ban with Russia the western powers
have had enough for the present.
4 America does not want to lose her
Ehssionaires and eXtra-territorial priv
aeges in Turkey. The demand of Ish-
Hhet Pasha that these things be abol-
sshed is, automatically, a Russian de-
Aand If Russia could be reached"
Die Turk would have to surrender.
i Opposed to this influence working
ssWard an understanding with Rus
sa there is, one hears, an expert"
|eView of Russian economics lately
seeiVed in Washington which dis
surages the idea Of rich trading
Aih that country. Opposed to that |
#gan certain manufacturers, includ- |
hg one Of agricultural machinery, |

Ehd are now protesting to the state
apartment against having to deal
@tirely through British channels.
1 Finally, the precedent set up by the |
#ate department when it allowed Rus
pan funds to be attached in this coun-
~ because the Moscow government
q not recognized, has returned to
9ague it. Seizure of Mexican pro-
#Hy in New York gave the secretary

IS now wondering how many more

pat silly precedent and upset his di-
