STRAITS RULE OPPOSED

LAUSANNE. Dec. % ASSOCIATED
Press) The Near East conference has
taken recess until Tuesday afternoon.
and there is general hope among the
delegates that the respite VIII aid the
leaders to find paths to a settlement
Christmas week has set the confer
ence back rather than forward. Even
the problem of the straits which seemed
on the verge of a satisfactory settle
ment, is in peril. A new ultimatum from
the Turks that II they could not obtain
their desires on other points. espe-
cially with reference to a non-aggres-
sion pact in favor of Turkey. they would
not accept International control for the
passage of warships has prevented set
tlement Of the straits question
The Lausanne big four-Curzon. Bar
rere, Garroni and Ismet Pasha-are try
ing to find a solution outside the confer
ence. The Entente statesmen have said
to Turkey I'VE will give you your
guarantee Of non-aggression. but such a
pact will obligate the Powers to be re-
Therefore give our International COM
mission jurisdiction not only over the
passage Of ships through the straits. but
also over the zones OF demilitarization.
Responsibility implies authority to pre-

Reject Supervision.
The Turks say that foreign supervision
over Turkish zones would violate Tur-
keys Sovereignty. Lord Curzon. who
will pass Christmas in Lausanne. may
win Ismet Pasha to a compromise dur
ing the holidays.
There are other great conference diff
ficulties-capitulation and customs tar
ifs, and the latter may never be settled
at Lausanne. With respect to capitula-
tions. which the Turks desire to be rid
of, the Allies and the United States are
taking firm attitude. They lack conf
dence in the Turkish judiciary and would
be loath to /havest their citizens tried In
purely Turkish courts. The issue Ia
sharp and clear and solution has not
yet appeared. The tariff question is
vital to the United States. which. like
Turkey. desires to make a general
Turko-American treaty Of commerce.
To Abolish Consular Courts.
The Turks seem unchangeably determ-
ined to abolish the foreign consular
courts, and assert that their judges,
