Child,s open door" declaration at
Lausanne yesterday dwarfs every
thing else connected with the con-

polite surface of satisfaction that

currents OF humorous. caustio and

scapitulations," altogether as APP
piled to Turkey, which dislikes any
thing that savors of a public admis-
sion indicating surrender of national
administrative rights.
All the great powers win undoubt-
sdly follow Americas lead in insist
ing that foreigners accused of crime
shall still come 20 trial before for
'eign courts in Turkey and that for
eign. or at least mixed tribunals. shall
have jurisdiction in property disputes
involving the foreigners.
It seems likely that France Will
propose the establishment OF judicial
guarantees as a substitute for capitu-
1ations touching on judicial privileges
enjoyed by foreign residents. France
has a large Moslem population in her
north African colonies who were
loyal to France in the great war, and
she had logical reasons for insisting
upon equitable treatment for the Mo-
hammedan population at this mo-
ment when Turkeys political status
in the world Is being definitely fixed
at Lausanne.
