i'll Sevres Treaty Revision
From The Trsoune's European Rurca,


Copyright, 1922. New York Tribune Inc.
LONDON. Oct. est is the desire
of the British government that the
Near East peace conference begin No
vember 13 at Lausanne. despite the
political crisis at home. This was
learned officially this afternoon, when a
contradiction was given to the reports
telegrsphed from Paris that England
had sought further postponement. 1t
is considered certain that Lord Curzon
will retain his position as Foreign Sec
retary as long as the Bonar Law gov
ernment lasts, so that even should the
election be held on November Is he
probably will head the British dele
cation at the opening of the confer
ence two days previously.
Late this afternoon the text of the
most recent Soviet note was received
by the government here. So far as
Great Britain is concerned, the atti-
tude toward Russian participation in
that is to say, the representation of
Russia depends upon the basis upon
which the conference is held. IT, as
expected, there are two gatherings,
one revising the Treaty of Sevres and
the. other concerned with the future
of the Straits. there will be no objec-
tion to the presence of the Russians
at the latter.
Officials here realize that the Franco
Russian rapprochement may have
reached such point that the French
will back the claims of the Soviet to
be represented in all deliberations
The British answer to this will be
that since Russia is not s;gnatory to
the Sevres treaty she could not be ex-
pected to take part in conference
devoted solely to the revision Of the
treaty.
Advices from Moscow indicate that
the Russian line of argument will be
that the Sevres treaty and the ques-
tion of the future of the Straits are
SO closely allied that they cannot be
considered separately.
Referring to the refusal Of the Soviet
government to ratify the concessions
granted to the Russo-Asiatic Consoli-
dated because the Soviet had not been
invited to the peace conference, Leslie
Urquhart, chairman of the company
declared at meeting of the stockhold-
ers to-day:

WASHINGTON, Oct. %. What
amounts to call for vigorous policy
by this government with respect to
the Near East has been sent out by
the Federal Council of Churches from
its Headquarters in Washington. The
council Is seeking to have more than
100000 Protestant churches through
out the United States express their
views to the Administration and Con-
gress. A leading feature Of the de-
mands is that this government exert
it's influence for permanent protection
and religious liberty for the minorities
Of the Near East.
The action of the council is of she
more interest in view of the la1ge
number of letters and resolutions from

of the Federal water-powe act of 1890

day for hearing on January 2. 1923.
The government based it's motion on

the State Department last week by DR..
Carlos Manuel de Cespedes, special
representative of Cuba, who is here in
the interest of the loan. 1t is under
stood that Major General Crowder who
conferred with officials here last week
on the Cuban situation, recommended
that there be no opposition to the loan
General Crowder has returned to Cuba
to resume his post as special represen-
tative of the President in cooperation
with the Cuban government.
The selection of Governor Harding
to head the special financial mission.
1t is believed, was a matter of discus
sion when General Crowder was here.
Definite annQuncement of the mission
is being deferred, however, until the
views of President zayas of Cuba are
received.
The task of adjusting Cubas postwar r
financial situation is next to be taken
up. This work, with the proposed $780,
100000 loan, makes necessary the Off
cial cooperation of the American and
Cuban governments and the availability
of Governor Harding for the post OF
American financial adviser to Cuba is
believed to make certain his selection
within short time.
