Americans Doubt Agreement
by Tuesday-May Negoti-
ate in ConstantinopIe.
EQUAL RIGHTS IN STRAITS
TOBE GIVEN IN TREATY
Allies Planning Evacuation to
Start Ten Days After Ratifying
of Convention at Angora.

LAUSANNE. July 21.-Repeated
conferences between Joseph G. Grew,
American minister to Switzerland
and Ismet Pasha, Turkish foreign
and Turkish experts do not appear
to have advanced the settlement of
the disputed points in the proposed
Turco American treaty. The Turks
are continuing to manifest toward
the Americans the same infiexible at
tftude that they showed toward the
allies through the long negotiations
here.
Both sides are working day and
night in an attempt to hurry the con-
clusion of the negotiations and the
Ottoman spokesman said today they
were optimistic over the outlook and
hoped to finish the negotiations in
time for the signing of the American
convention next Tuesday after the
signing of the treaty with the allies.
If this were impossible, they said, it
might be necessary to suspend the
conversations, reSuming them at Con-
Stantinople.
Americans Less Optimistic.
The American representatives did
not seem to be so hopeful of con-
Guiding the talks by Tuesday taking
the view that unless the situation
changed, several days longer would
be required. At all events. the Amer
leans evidently have no intention of
being hurried into the signing of a
convention which, in their view. does
not properly safeguard Americas S
legitimate interests.
The scheme for control of the
Turkish straits will be incorporated
into the American treaty by a clause
assuring to United States merchant
men and warships privileges equal
to those accorded any other nation.
Without entering into the details
of the straits regime, this will give
the United States all the privileges
OF the straits convention, which will
be signed by the European states. in
Russia, and insure free pas
sage for at least three American
cruisers to and from the Black sea.

HARDING SPURNS
AN EXTRA SESSION
President Said to Think Con-
gresS Recess Is Aid to
Country.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
ON BOARD THE L. S. S. HENDER-
SON WITH PRESIDENT HARDING.
July 21.-President Harding, it can
be declared positively, has no inten-
tion of calling Congress into session
in advance of its regular meeting
in December
While the Chief Executive himself
has made no direct statement, those
among his party on his tour of
Alaska who reflect his views saw
that he has no idea of needing a de-
mand for an extra session made by
Senator Brookhart, republican, of
Iowa.
Mr.. Harding. these associates of
his say. feels that there is little or
no need for any immediate assem-
bling of the federal Legislative body.
and furthermore that the leaders in
Congress. in common with the pub
lie generally, are of the opinion that
the country is benefitting by the
current recess of Congress.
Farmers Needs Met.
So far as need for relief legislation
for farmers is involved. those close to
the President are unable to agree
with Senator Brookhart in that re-
spect. They point out that the Presi-
dent, in an address at Hutchinson,
Kan. last month. presented a list of
measures instituted by the govern
ment for the benefit of farmers.
which he at that time said should,
with gradual Improvement in business
conditions. restore the agricultural
industry to normal.
Any further legislation at this
time, it is held by some of the Presi-
dent s advisers, would do more to
hinder that restoration than to
help it.
The President and Mrs. Harding
and their party were today en- route
from Cordovato, Sitka, where they
expect to arrive at 9 o'clock tomor-
row morning, for an all-day visit be-
fore bidding farewell to Alaska.
Sees Great Glacier.
For nearly three-quarters of an
hour the President, enthralled, view
ed the massive ice cliffs of Child's
Glacier yesterday. Told that a gun
shot would usually cause great masses
of ice to break off, he asked one of
the secret service men to fire at the
glacier with his pistol. But the dis
tance was too great. A pistol bullet
would affect the walls of that glacier
about as much as a small boys pop
gun would the side of an elephant.
Just as the President was leaving
a mass of ice greater than any of
the others broke away and, plunging
into the river, sent the waters ashore
like a tidal wave.
"One of the most impressive sights
to be seen in Alaska" was the way
the President described the glacier
as he boarded the train for the re-
turn to Cordova.
Back in Cordova the President and
Mrs. Harding were taken for a ride
about the town.
Before returning to the Henderson
the President made a brief address to
the citizens of Cordova.

 We have depended on certain kinds of labor so long we nat urally assume that the work would not be done without them. Ger many. Sweden and Great Britain have built up great regimes with their own people. The statistics of the war show an enormous increase in pro- duction in America. We had no inn migration whatever and four million of our young men were taken from our industries and put to work de- stroying manufactured goods, yet American took off it's coat and went to work and we had the heaviest production in 1918 and 1919.
 Now that the fear of immigration has passed there is a tendency to de- wise more flexible means or adjust- ing the problem. One thing is very certain, the days of unrestricted i'm migration are things of the past. In the future the ideals of the American citizen will be held above every other consideration

IMMIGRATION BARS
 ARE UP ID STAY
Husband Says American Ideals
 Must Be Considered

How it cost four New York steam shin companies over s40o, 900 to vii a race while the losers actually were the real winners was told al dln' ner meeting of the Rotary club last evening by Walter w. Husband United States commissioner of immi' grafton. The race was one that has become familiar on the opening days for new quotas to be admitted since this country adopted its restricted i'm migration Jaw.
 On tho last day of quota period ocean liners loaded with immigrants have gotten into the custom of an choring just outside the port of New York waiting until midnight when they would make q dash for the har- bor. tho first ships in unloading their immigrants with certain assurance that they would be admitted. while the last ship 10 arrive is in danger of finding tho quota fitted.
 When tho last quota was admitted in the incident referred tc, according to Mir. Husband four vessels travelled so rapidly they arrived before mid night One ot them got in as much as 10 minutes ahead, ono Of them only 15 seconds, bnt all four arrived before mianight. Thus their ar"ital was in tho preceding quota period. l,aeh company WAS fined S2o0 for each immigrant con board over and aboyc the quota and vas required to supply money fer the return ui its passengers.

Millions want to come in who cant.
 Here the speaker told of an incident of q man from Liberia who was held up at the port of entry. The man was prominent in politics in Liberia and the newspapers in America wanted to know why he could not get in. Final l ly some euterprising reporter dis covered" that the quota was only one man in two years or half d man year and decided that the man was being held up because the immigra- ton authorities hesitated about per forming a surgical operation. Anoth- or enterprising reporter made the startling discovery that the man had q half brother living in America. which thus made him but half man and entitled him to admittance. He did not say whether the man was per mitted to enter on this basis.
 Tt is not mp to a government of- hcial to discuss the merits of one people as compared to another" he sad, But it is a fact that the old type of immigrant docs become an American to a greater extent that the new type. There is a good reason for this. The British came over and set tied New England and Virginia; the Germans settled Pennsylvania. the Dutch New York, the Swedes Della ware and tho Swiss in North Carolina. They formed tho ideals which have made America. We need not be ap- Trchcnsiye Of the Dutchmau. the Scotchman or tho Englishman being assimilatcd because his ancestors helped make the country.
 The more recent immigrants were not pioneers. They came at a time of prosperity prepared by the north ern peoples and enjoyed the profits Of il.
 We have some nationalitics in the nitcd States of which not more than ] or 20 per cent care to become naturalized citizens. There is feel ins that they should be restricted until they demonstrate that thcy can become citizens.
 The war" he said, has made Americans out of 2 good many Am. crcans as well Ds other nationalitirs,"
 Labor situation
 Speaking on the labor qprstior he said. There is where We do not know everything in Washington. The new typc of immigrant has monopolized the unskillcd occupations. In the car ly days the Irish and Germans a did most of this. Few of the new type immigrants ever become skilled ar tisans. As we developed machinery for making what had previously been made by hand this new type devel- ope1 into a sort of scmi-akilcd type or machine operators. They arc n"t the kind who serve long apprelti"" ships.
 "We had much more effective rc- striction during the war. After the war lot of the people from inc new sources went back, then the law stepped in and prevented them from returning.
 When business revived there was need for more labor in some indus i tries but in others there was an over 1 supply. Immigration invariably ad- 1 iustcd itself 10 thcee demands.

 immigration From Mediterranean Until 1890. immigration was mostly from northwestern Europe, S5 per cent of the immigrants coming from that section. Then they began to flock in from Italy and Greece until i'll -o years. S5 per cent were coming from alons the shores Of the Mediterranean and only 15 per cent from northwest ern Europe. This change, he said vas the beginning of the basis of the present immigration problems.
 The old source appeared to be the more desirable and the literacy test was designed with the idea ot stem ming the new source without interfer- ing with the old.
 'There would have been little addi- tio1al immigration restriction if it had rot been for tho war. After the arm isticc ras signed there was danger ot Il flood of millions of immigrants from all oyer Europe and congress was in a panic.
