New York, Dec. 17.--tBy The AS
sociated Press. Although the more
. spectacular developments in last
weeks financial market took place
among the foreign exchanges. reports
on industrial and trade conditions con-
tinued to be satisfactory and in the
steel industry the years best rate
of activity is being maintained.
Soft coal production also is holding
up well and the easing of the strain
on the railroads as a result Of the
normal seasonal tendency is reflected
by another fall in the total of excess
demand for freight cars. Loadings OF
freight this season continue to run
far ahead of the best performance
for any other year
Trade reports, too. add their word
of encouragement Holiday buving is

increased public purchasing power. A
distinctly cheerful tone is apparent in

wheat and corn prices to new high

Despite the expansion of industrial

SPEED IN FRAMING
LAUSANNE TREATY
IS SC0NFERENCE AIM
General Outlines of Peace
Agreement Being Drawn
as a Starter.

Lausanne, Dec. 17.-(By The Asso.
ciated Press. The labors of the Lau-
same conference have advanced sc
far that already the official scribes
have begun their task of writing out
the preliminary drafts of the treaty
This document will enumerate the
broad lines of the pact and is being
prepared so as to have in concrete
form those problems which have al
ready been solved, and also have the
preliminary signature of the agree
ment from all parties.
There is feeling that too much
time is being wasted on secondary
questions in the sub commissions and
that the big aim Of the conference is
in danger of being lost sight of during
the interminable discussions. Speed
is now the watchword at Lausanne.
The Straits problem practically has
been settled, great progress has been
made on the question of minorities,
and the general economic and financial
subjects have found their essential So
1utions.
The persistent dragging along of
several thorny points, such as the de-
portation of the Greek patriarch, the
Alosui Oil dispute ana Inf O1IIlCuiIV
over foreign tribunals in Turkey, is
checking the forward swing of the
conference.
Turkey demands primarily absolute
integrity of territory where the Turks
are in overwhelming majority and on
this question will make no sacrifices,
Ismet Pasha declared Sunday night. in
an address before the Swiss society,
the friends of Turkey.
Ismet, who received commemora-
tive medal for himself and another for
Mustapha kemal. insisted that his
country would extend to the minority
populations remaining in Turkey all
that the introduction of any other ex-
cent European treaties bat warned
thatthe introduction Of any other ex-
ceptional stipulations would be an in
admissible attack on Turkish SOW
ereign rights. No Turkish govern
ment could ever accept such condition
because it would be tantamount of as-
tablishing a state within a state.

Move on Reparation
Brussels and Paris Newspapers Resent Contem-
plated Entrance of America Into Settlement of
War Accounts; Fear Yankee Aid Would Pre-
vent Their Seizing Ruhr; Causes Surprise.

Brussels, Dec. 17.--(By The Asso-
Giated Press. Reports of contem-
plated action in the United States
looking to the reconstruction of Eu-
rope have been received with much adj
verse criticism by. the Belgian news
papers. The Nation Beige says it
would be Belgium and France who
would bear the burden, as they would
have to abandon their liens on Ger
many. The Yingtiene Steele considers
the plan as ,feeler and expresses as
tonishment that America should show
confidence in Germany's intentions to
pay reparations. lie Soir regards the
plan as evidence that America is not
concerned in the European chaos.
FRANCE AGAINST U. S. ACTION
Paris, Dec. 1.-THE reported plans
of the United States for the rehabilia-
tion of Europe seen conceived ex-
clusively in the interest OF Germany"
says the Temps, in an editorial Sun
day that reflects the viewpoint of q
majority of the French newspapers.
Skepticism and resentment predomin-
ates in these second day reflections on
the situation, but there are few
words of welcome for the proposition,
paper, L'Oeuvre, which expresses
pleasure over the interest of the Uni
ted States even if it has no immediate
practical results
The Temps says the plan looks as
if it had been drafted by the Germans
rather than the Americans and sug
gests thai the Germans, after elabor-
ating an agreement with American
bankers, make proposition to the al
lies for the payment of reparations
and then the allies will see if they can
make the concessions that are asked.
NJ. BainvilIe in La Liberte is the
most severe critic of the reported
project IF the United States ser
iousIy wished to save Europe from
financial chaos he says, their first
care should be to annul the claim they
have against the allies" He sees. in
what he calls Washington's move sim
ply an effort to prevent occupation of
the Ruhr by France and asks, is this
the only result of Clemenceaus tour"

The writer adds that the money the
Americans would lend will be asked
for some day, just as they already de
mand the billions they advanced the
allies for common war;
WOULD LIMIT DEBT PARLEY
London, Dec. 17.-Lord Aberconway
in letter to the Times advocates that
the commission under Chancellor OF
the Exchequer Stanley Baldwin which
is going to the United States, attempt
only to fund Englands direct debt
leaving the arrangement of the indirect
indebt edness incurred in behalf of the
allies until the whole question of in
ter-allied indebtedness is settled.
He says that clearly the Washington
administration expects the commission
to deal with both catergories, but con-
tends it is too early to enter into def
mite contracts concerning such la
hilities until Great Britain has discuss
ed with her debtors ways and means
of meeting them.
