CHILD IN STRONG
PLEA FOR FREEDOM
OF DARDANELLES
Russian Plan for Exclusion of
All but Turk Warships
Given Hard Blow.

LAUSANNE, Dec 6-(By a. P)
"A strong American plea for free
dom OF the straits with the right or
warships 10 pass to and from the
Black sea. was the outstanding fea-
ture OF the Near Eastern conference
today which received from the en-
tente nations a definite project for
the future control of this great
world water way.
The Russian plan for the exclus-
ion of all but Turkish warshlps
from the straits received a bad
blow by the allied proposals.
Richard Washburn Child, the
American ambass dor. adopted the
broad standpoint that the very in
terests of the countries bordering
on the Black sea made it imperative
TO keep the straits open. The United
States, in common with every COM
mercial nation wished access TO
every free body of water in the
world and America would not be
satisfied If her ships Of war could
not pursue their peaceful errands
wherever American citizens and
merchant craft were accorded that
privilege.
Comprehensive Plan.
The entente nations presented a
comprehensive plan for restricted
opening Of the straits which was de-
signed 10 prevent any one body from
acquiring mastery thereof. it suggest
ed demilitarization of the entire
straits territorial zone and proposed
the appointment of an international
commission to guarantee observance
of freedom OF the straits.
George Tchitcherin. the Russian
Soviet foreign minister rid.culed the
allied proposals. saying it meant re-
sumption Of international rivalries,
but Ismet Pasha, for Turkey. in
formed the Associated Press that he
considered the entente propositions
suitable basis for further discussion
which Will be resumed Friday.
In addition TO the plan presented
today, the allies are arranging for
the formation OF a committee of ex-
perts 10 work out detailed reEula-
tions for protecting Constantinople
Put briefly. the allied proposition
for controlling the straits is as fo,-
lows:
In time Of peace there shall be
complete freedom Of passage foi
tho merchant ships OF all nations
but the number Of warships shall
not be greater than that of the most
powerful OF the littoral powers OF
the Black sea existing in the Black
sea at the time of passage.
II. however, the Black sea power,
should abandon all their naval for.
ces individual powers would still

nander VIII then review the UNITS OF
the Reserve Officers Training Corps
in the riding hall. and later the cav
airy students Will exhibit their skin

Pay Tribute TO Cadets.
As the last feature of the program
Gen. Pershing will plant a number
of trees in memory of cadets killed
in the late war. When this ceremony
is comNeted. the general and his
party viii take their leave and will
be escorted down a double line OF
cadets reaching from the academy
to the railroad tracks a distance OF
d half mile
The officers will board Gen. Rog-
ers car for Plymouth where. shortly
after noon. they change 20 the Man
haitian limited for Washington. Gen.
Atter0ury. viCe-president of the
Pennsylvania lines east of Piusburg,
Will pl9ee his private coach at their
disposal
Before leaving, Gen. Pershing will
probably make a short talk to the
cadets on the need of an adequate
regular army and reserve force In
Chicago yesterday he spoke before
the Chamber of Commerce on this
subject and also pointed out the dan
ger of the Ku Klux Klan.
We cannot. If We would, watch
with indifference the gathering
clouds Of war in many parts of the
world y the general declared. The
Near East has been the theater Of
war since 1914 and is today seeth-
ing with revolution. Although deep
in our hearts we desire peace, it IL
not sdifiicult 10 imagine ourselves
again forced into conflict, as we
were in 1917. in the defense of civil
ization and the principles upon
which it is founded"
The fact that in Chicago recently
an advocate of Soviet government
received an ovation was branded by
Pershing as a downright insult to
the 100000 ex-service men" Of the
country.
We cannot shut our ewes to the
activities of the Invisible Empire OF
the Ku KluX, Klan. whose members
in Office disregard their duty 10 the
public, and allow their criminals TO
go UNPUBLISHED.
The civilization OF 1000 years will
disappear like an exploded soap
bubble" if force is removed as the
mainstay of government. Pershins
warned in his plea for adequate mill
tary forces.

OPERATORS, MINERS
FAIL TO AGREE ON
new WAGE BASIS
Meeting in Chicago Is Ad-
journed Without Result
Until Jan. 3.

CHICAGO, Dec. 6.-CBy A. PD-
Operators and miners representing
the bituminous coal industry ad-
journed their meeting here today
without arriving at any basis for ne
gotiation OF a new wage agreement
at meeting of all bituminous op-
orators and miners to be held next
January.
A proposal presented by the op-
orators involving district agree
ments, arbitration Of differences and
a sliding wage scale was rejected in
its entirety by the miners rerr6
sentatives. G. W. Savage, a miners
representative from Ohio, then pro
posed a return to the old central
competitive field as a basis for ne
gotiation and this plan was in turn
rejected by the operators.
It was then decided 10 hold the
January meeting to consider new
agreements in Chicago on Jan. g.
instead of in Cleveland as originally
planned and the miners and Oper-
ators committee which adjourned
today Will meet here on the same
dag previous TO the full meeting in
an effort 10 reach a basis for negO-
tiation.
Face New Deadlock.
Should the committee meeting
scheduled for Jan. fail to produce
plan. the general meeting Will
open here on that date with vir-
tually the same situation as that
of the joint conference Of miners
and operators at Cleveland oct 4,
committee members said.
Because Of inability TO agree on
basis for future negotiations after
settlement OF the strike last fall
! the committee Of two miners and
| two operators from each Of the I )
districts had been appointed at the
! Cleveland meeting 10 work out a
| plan for negotiation of a new agree
ment TO replace the present agree
ment which expires April /, 1928
/ The first meeting Of committee hers
lin November failed TO produce re-
suits and both miners and oper-
ators had expressed the hope that
! the second session just closed would
bring forth some common ground
upon which they could agree.
1 Because Of the nature Of the com
mittee and its work L was agreed
I at the outset of tOday's meeting that

United States Refuses Par
ticipatiOn In Treaty Allies
Wish To Make.
SEEKS TURK TREATY
American Ambassador Not Empower
ed to Effect Treaty but Engages
Himself in Sounding Out Turkish
Representatives on Terms.

Washington, Nov. 28.-The Near
Eastern Peace Conference at Laus-
anne is about to mark another break
between the policies Of the United
States and the great Allied Powers, it
was evident in official and diplomatic
quarters here today.
The United States Government will
not be a party TO the treaty of peace
TO be worked out between tn Allies,
Greece and Nationalist Turkey, but on
the contrary is seeking a separate
treaty with Turkey at Lausanne.
The main reason why the United
States is not to be a party to the
treaty Of peace being framed at
Lausanne is because this country was
not at war with Turkey and hence
this Government does not feel war
ranted in maintaining such settlements
as those affecting boundaries.
Ambassador Child has not yet been
given powers to negotiate the treaty
with Turkey, but it is believed prob
able that he is informally sounding out
the Turkish representatives on the
question, and that Child and possibly
Joseph C. Grew, Minister TO Switzer-
land, and Rear Admiral Mark l.. Bris-
tol, the two other American repre-
sentatives at Lausanne, may be en-
powered later to work out the agree
ment with Turkey.
The proposed pact between the
United States and Nationalist Turkey
is to be a treaty of amity and COM
merce, establishing an up-to-date ba-
sis for relations between the two
countries in the light OF changes OF
the World War and the victory OF
the Nationalist Turks. Some of the
most important points to be covered
in this treaty, at least 50 far as Amer
lean desires are concerned, are as fol-
lows:
Guarantees for the open door"
freedom of opportunity, without dis
elimination or special privilege, for
commercial enterprise.
2-Maintenance Of capitulatlonS-
extra-territorial rights in Turkey
necessary to safeguard non-Mosiem
interests.
3-Indemnity for American losses
in Turkey as result Of arbitrary and
illegal acts. ,
4-Protection of minorities and OF
philanthropic, educational and ?eiig-
ious institutions.
