LAUSANNE. December 2.-Foreign
secretaries and technical aides, ar
rived in Lausanne Friday night to aid
NJ Rakovsky and NJ. Vorovsky in pre-
senting the Russian case to the con-
ference. Extraordinary precautions
were taken at the station by the
police.
It is reported that NJ. Tchitcherin
brings a complete plan for the regime
OF the DardanelleS and the Bosporus.
to be presented when the discussion
of this subject is resumed on Mon
day. The Russians are reported to
ereignty, with the exclusion of war
ships or demilitarization under world
control. They feel that the Bosporus
exit of the straits could be blocked
by mine fields in case an enemy fleet
attempted to dominate the Black sea.
The British have not made known
their plans, but the statement is made
that they would oppose regulations
permitting warships to pass singly
only.
Venizelos May Appeal to L. s.
The Turks seem to be ready to adopt
complete demilitarization and accept
control. They contend that their
that modern fortifications could be
built on short notice. with submarines
and mines barring the passage by war
ships.
''It will be necessary to ask the
United States, despite tho per cent
refugees if the Greeks are forced to
leave Constantinople. for Greece can
not find room for them," said Eleu-
therios Venizelos in the course of a
discussion at the conference concern
ding the exchange of Greek and Turk
tions.
Since the Turks left Turkestan,
traversed Asia Minor and invaded Eu-
rope there has not been another such
migration of peoples as will occur If
the movement now under way and con-
Greeks and Turks are involved, ac-
cording to figures given out by Lord
Curzon and Fridtjof Nansen, and not
denied by the Turks.
Urges Quick Action.
The British foreign secretary urged
the necessity Of quick action to permit
sowing for the spring crops and pre-
vent the catastrophe which Is sure to
result If the refugees are left to their
fate. The only objection the Turks
ton Of the league Of nations as repre-
sented by DR.. Nansen. Lord Curzon
said the point was trivial and a sub
commission was formed to find q way
to effect the exchange.
The Turks refused to enter into an
immediate discussion Of the question
Of exchanging populations, probably
realizing the futility Of the scheme
and the harm that would result from
deportation. Friday a committee of
Armenians asked the American am
bassador, Richard W. Child, for sup
port. They were backed up by q GER
tain number Of missionaries. Repre-
sentatives Of tho Turks also visited
Ambassador Child asking for Ameri-
can aid in securing the return OF
$500 hostages taken along by the
Greeks on their retreat.

Minor have been killed or deported
or have died or fed since 1914, leav-
ing Greek population in Asia Minor
Of about 100000, in addition to the
man prisoners deported to other parts
Of Asia Minor and held In work

Greeks have fed from eastern Thrace
leaving an empty zone.
There arc nearly 100000 Moalems IN
