Lausanne, Nov. 25.--(By Asso-
ciated Press) Richard Washburn
Child, chief American spokesman
at the Near Eastern conference,
amazed the other delegates at
this mornings session by reiterat-
ing the iRsistence Of the United
States upon the open door policy
in Turkey. He said the aide
memoire delivered or October 80
to Great Britain, France and Italy
and said that the American gov
ernment and public supported this
policy.
Mr.. Child said in part:
lit is not and will not be the
concern of the representatives Of
the United States to express at
this conference views which have
not for their bases the legitimate
national interests of the United
States, or those Of humanitarian
consideration which / assume are
shared by every delegation pres
ent.
I'VE will, however, and l trust
acceptibly, state when the occa-
sion arises, the position of the
United States. We believe that a
