open DOOR" PROBLEM
America Is In Favor OF Capitulation
Question Which Is TO Be Taken Up
Within Next Few Days-Hughes
Expresses Approval.

Washington, d. c., Dec. THE
United States viii support the free
dom Of the Turkish Straits at the
Near East Conference which Is be
ing held in Lausanne. The United
Press is informed authortatively that
Secretary Of State Hughes IS in IA
vor Of The Straits remaining free for
world trade and for use by the battle
ships Of the various nations.
The open door" problem being
brought up is an additional incentive
for the United States 10 take an m
tercst in the proceedings Of the con-
ference.
America is whole heartedly in ia
vor of the capitulatiOns policy which
is to be brought before tn conference
in the course of the next few days,
it was said by high officials today.
4 review of the second week Of
the Near Eastaern conference slows
clearly that the negotiations have
reached a point of danger; the ques
tion Of capitulatior 0r special privl-
leges enjoyed b! tr igners in Tur-
key which was up yesterday,
may make or r.. The conference,
and this is so use an adverse
decision capitulations may so wound
Turkish national pride that the Turks
may don their fezes and go back to
Angora.
Everybody realizes the extreme
delicacy and danger of the negotia-
tions on capitulations. The Turks
have rejected all suggestions of the
powers, including the United States,
that the special privileges enjoyed
by foreigners in the past shall be re-
tained, more especially any attempt
to have foreign consular courts try
cases involving foreign residents or
foreign property
Both Ismet Pasaa and DR.. Ria
Nur, plenipotentiaries from Angora'
informed the correspondent Of the
Associated Press today that they
would resist any attempt to place
Turkey on a lower international
standing than smaller and less inn
ponat States, like Greece and
Mexico" They would insist in COM
plete administrative independence.

"In locating and designing batter

bear against them, must be given
consideration, and unless our fortlti-
cations are to become obsolete chang

This has been rendered particu-
larly necessary due to recent devel-

THE budget for 1923 provides only
for the completion Of batteries al

Administration Bloc Will Be
Opposed By Agricultural
Bloc Of New Force.
DON'T EXPECT MUCH
New Political Faction Hopes Only To
Establish Itself-Recruits Hoped
70 Lineup After Congress Con-
venes In March.
(nN IrIted Press.)

WASHINGTON. ID. c.. Dec. 4-Tho
newly formed Progressive bloc will
face its first test in The session OF
congress which met at noon today.
Rural credits legislation is to be en-
acted this winter. and perhaps other
measures dealing with the welfare OF
the farmers. Under the leadership of
Senator Watson, Ind, Harding admin
istration forces have worked ont an
agricultural program which will be
presented by President Harding, pro-
bablv in his annual message on Tues
dav. The PrOgreSsives also have an
agricultural program, differing IN es-
sential particulars from that proposed
by the administration.
The first test of Progressive power,
therefore, probably Will come upon
this matter. If the administration sue
ceeds in getting enacted the main
principals of its agricultural program
the Progressives will be held by their
critics to have failed at the outset. II
the Progressive plan predominates IN
the legislation, the prestige OF the
bloc will grow, not only in Washing
ton, but throughout the country.
The Progressives do not expect TOO
much at this session. They will not
reach their full strength in either
House until after March j. They are
however, powerful enough in the SEN
ate to put up a sturdy fight Tor their
proposals.
What appears lilSelyp 70 happen IS
compromise legislation, in which some
administration ideas and some Pro
gressive ones will appear The Pre-
gressives are not opposed to the pro-
posed administration plan, but fHey
hold it does not go far enough, nor
nit directly at the cause of agricul-
tural Ills. They would gladly take
the administration bill or bills with
out change rather than get nothing
for the farmer.
Therefore while the agricultural
legislation program will constitute a
test. there probably will be little In
thd discussion to support that the
Plogressives and the administration
are at loggerheads. If men like Sena-
tor Watson sincerely desires to help
agriculture, the Progressives will
give them chance, but the leaders OF
the new bloc do not attempt to dis
guise the fact that they mistrust the
Watson plan because of its source.
Both the congressional and public
groups of Progressives will plunge at
once into the work outlined at the
Friday and Saturday conferences
here. The executive committee Of the
bloc, headed by Senator Borah, will
meet soon to organize committees on
various legislative questions. A spe-
cial committee of the nationwide FRO
gressiye group will be appointed by
Senator LaFollette to cooperate with
the bloc, and to draw up suggestions
for legislation.
