General
(By the Associated Press)

Lausanne, Dec. 22.-The impress
sion that settlement of the problem
OF the Turkish straits was not pro-
gressoing as rapidly as had been an
ticipated became general today as
the result Of statement issued by
the Turkish delegation.
This made it clear that Turkeys
acceptance of the proposal to appoint
an international commission of con-
troll depended upon acceptance by
the allies of certain conditions de-
manded by the Turks. ..
The notifications of the original
project for control of the strait.
asked by the Turks include an un-
derstanding that the international
commission shall have no jurisdic-
tion whatsoever over the so-called
zones of demilitarization in the re-
gion of the straits.
The Turks further more have de-
manded pact by which the allies
individually and collectively guaran-
tee that the safety and neutrality of
Turkey will not be jeopardized and
that there be no aggression against
Constantinople! r

HUGHES IS SILENT
Official Quarters Refuse to
Make Any Comment
On Issue

Washington, Dec. 22.-The ques-
tion of America extending aid to-
ward the solution of the economic
troubles of Europe has been brought
sharply to the front with emerging
of plan under which an American
commission would determine what
Germany should pay the allies in re-
parations.
The proposal SO far has been dis
cussed outside the formal channels
of diplomacy but an understanding
in authoritative circles has been de-
veloped through an exchange of
views that the United States, Great
Britain and Germany are willing to
assent to the creation of such q
commission. Premier 'Poincare Of
France now has the plan before him
and is expected to make a decision
when he has concluded series Of
conferences with industrial leaders
of FRANCE and of Germany.
From the beginning Of the pre-
sent discussions officials Of the
Washington government have been
unwilling to do more than hint that
a way was being sought to render
aid toward a European settlement
and so far have refused to discuss
the plan for an American Commits
sion, Secretary Hughes last night
issued a brief statement which
avoided any mention Of details and
said that the government" had
presented "no proposal" on the
subject. The method Of sounding
out all those directly interested be-
fore any definite proposal" is sub
mitted with the full force Of govern
ment authority is familiar one in
negotiations Of great delicacy. The
secretary's statement recalled an
assertion several days oga by a
White House spokesman who in
discussing the American attitude to-
ward Europe said II. would not be
proper to display on the stage all
that was taking place behind the
scenes.
