It was said fatty that the Ameri
can government. at the present
stage of the discussions, has no con-
nection with the commission plan,
which contemplates creation of a
body of experts to inquire into the
ability of Germany to pay repara
tionS.
Furthermore one official indicated
that if the commission plan ever
came to the point where a proposal
for its acceptance could be made
through diplomatic channels. the
United States would not be the pro-
per power to make that proposal. It
was pointed out that treaty rights
are involved in the reparations diff
ference, and that 10 formal offer to
mediate would be in place from any
government except on the solicita-
ton of the governments involved in
the controversy.
AS the commission plan now is ex-
planned here. the commission would
be a wholly unofficial hcdy so far as
the Washington government is con-
cerned. and would have to do only with
reporting its findings as to Germany's
economic ability to pay. What actual
figures would be fixed as repara-
tons total would, of course, be mat
ter that the Allied governments must
decide for themselves. But with the
economic report on Germany available,
known to represent the Views of indus
trial experts without any national
bias. 1t has been the hops of sponsors
of the American commission plan that
there could be an agreement as to the
amount and form of German payments
which would finally settle the question.
The only inkling as to the hopes of
the American government in its efforts
to find way to a reparations settle
ment was a prediction made today
that if it ever became possible to an
nounce any official plan. 1t would be
found to be a very practical proposal.

that no agreements are to be made
at Lausanne on economic questions,
which. are to lie over for negotiation
at some later time. This has created
dissatisfaction among the Allies. es-
pecially the French, who are anx-
icus that economic questions should
be settled at this conference.
Control of the straits still is being
considered in private sessions. Lord
Curzon, M. Barrere. Signor Di Gar
ROM and Ismet Pasha were in con-
ference on this subject yesterday and
again today. The representatives of
the three great powers have made it
clear to Ismet that if they give the
special guarantees Turkey seeks to
protect Constantinople from attack,
Turkey in turn. must give the Allies
jurisdiction over the straits and the
entire demilitarized zone. Ismet has
this under consideration.
The intransigeant position of the
Turks on capitulations, straits con-
troll and the rights of minorities. is
generally regarded by the Allied del
egates as being due, at least in part
to their desire to hold as many ques-
tons as possible in reserve for the
purpose of future trading, and that
they may yield many moot questions
if they are able to. get strong guar
antees which will prevent the inva-
sion of Turkey.
