 TURKISH STAND ON M0SUL

Lausanne, Dec. 25 (By the A. P.).-The Near East conference will resume tomor- row, with A good many wounds to heal. The English are plainly annoyed over the Turkish answer concerning MosH. The Turks, insisting vigorously that Mosul belongs to Turkey, allege that the English without proper authority occu- pied that territory after the armistice at Mudros; they say that two districts of Irak have already elected to join Turkey and Mosul, whose Kurd population is more sympathetic with the~ Turks than the Arabs, will undoubtedly do likewise if a plebiscite is held.
 The English delegates said today that they would continue to contend that Mosul belongs to Irak and would hold 1t until the Irak government decides to cede 1t to Turkey.

"If they cannot agree among themselves and with bankers and investors upon a plan which will stabalize German cur rency we may expect the franc and the lira to start down the declivity in pur suit of the mark, the crown and the ruble."
 Three general propositions which ought to be included in a new repara- tions settlement were outlined by the senator as:
 Priority of payments for the recon struction of the ruins of northern France.
 Extension of a moratorium to Ger many for several years, conditional upon an adequately secured bankers loan to stabilize the mark, to> balance the cur rent German budget and to contribute to French reconstruction this year.
 The prompt withdrawal of the bar barous or semi tbarborous'' Mohamme- dan troops from the Rhine and the pro- gressive withdrawal of other troops as the terms of the moratorium and repara- tion agreement are fulfilled by Germany. More important to the rehabilita- tion of Europe than any conference, than any agreement between statesmen and fnanciers can be-" he added, "is the ex- orcium of the spirit of hate which ani- l mates governments and peoples. Unless | the peoples are moved by Christian will to peace and by Christian comity there can be no real peace in Europe.
