something never before done in the
history of pictures. The company
spent six weeks in Monte Carlo, Nice
and Paris. where the author located
his story.
The trip abroad brought the com
pany into direct contact with Ibanez.
and his assistance in the direction
of many of the scenes taken abroad
is considered invaluable. So enthu-
siastio did 1banez become over the
plans Of production, that he arranged
to have scenes taken in the Casino at
Monte Carlo and on the terrace of
the Garden. the first time In seven
years that world famous gaming re-
sort had been filmed. Ibanez also
obtained permission to take scenes of

fish straits. The Russian soviet
government been invited by tel
egraph TO take part in the signing
of the straits convention
The agreement reached Monday
night on the disputed questions of
concessions and the evacuation Of
Turkish soil by foreign troops was
adopted at plenary session of the
conference Tuesday.
The accord reached hero reports
a victory for the United States
whose representative. Joseph C. Grew
minister to Switzerland. was success
full in his insistence that the policy
of the open door and equal oppor-
tunity in the Near East be adopted.
Had It not been for his ~tenacity the
tentative agreement, made last week,
unfavorable to the United States In
t~erests, would have been included In
the treaty.
Through numerous conferences
with Ismet Pasha. head OF h Turk
ish delegation. Mr.. Grew won him
over against the plea of the British
and French plenipotentiaries.
And having won their struggle to
eliminate from the peace treaty all
future preferential concession rights
for foreign companies and all Off
cial confirmation of doubtful exist
ing concessions, the American rep
r~esentatives now will devote them
selves to completion OF h new
Turkish-American treaty.
The inside story of the meeting
when the peace made a week ago
~ ,,p m ma allied
delegate described II, is of q fierce
contest waged over h question
of tho oil fields OF Mesopotamia
which the English claim under the
provisions of the concessions OF tho
turkish Petroleum Company.
Though none of the American del,
egation was present It was apparent
that American influence was domi-
nant in the conference chamber n
that the stringent application OF
Mr.. Crews resistance was strong
enough to permit Ismet s TO hoiu
out until the finish.
FINALLY the allies, led by the Brit
fsh. surrendered. But tho British
their intention to make a
uublic statement at the open con-
ference meeting. setting forth their
rights TO oil concessions, just as the
French intend to do regarding their
rights concerning the Ottoman debt
The Turks previously had won a
victory by keeping all confirmation
of their obligations under the debt
out OF the Lausanne treaty.
The allied agreement to drop their
demands for future preferential
right to Turkish contracts is CON
sidered here an attempt to make the
American public feel that Europe
respects American doctrines and
wishes to cooperate with American
capital there. However, there is
.. disposition to believe that Ameri-
cans. with the Chester concession
already acquired. have big privileges
in Turkey.
Under the straits concession the
allies agreed. pending h establish
ment Of n permanent regime. not to
insist upon keeping two warships
each in the straits. Turkey agreed
to maintain free access to h Black
Sea and to invite each Of the great
powers to station one warship in the
Dardanelles.

in the straits agreement but 1t Is
Presumed that American warships
will be free TO the straits
