EXPECT NEAR EAST
FARLEY TO END IN
NEXT THIRTY DAYS
Euen Turks Realize Some
thing Must Happen
Soon.

Lausanne, Jan. 2f.-The third month
OF the Near East conference was ush-
cred in today, thus making it one of
the longest diplomatic gatherings on
record, after Versailles. Certainly there
will be no fourth month, for every
body, even the more indolently inclined
Turks, realizes there must soon come
an end one way or the other.
Some indications of impotence and
possible separation as between the Eng
lish and French, have happily not passed
into acts, and there is no evidence that
the disagreement over German repara-
tons will be permitted TO develop into
a break between these two countries on
general Near Eastern problems.
Unanimity of views between France,
England and Italy appears to have been
attained through NJ. Bompard's visit
to Paris, which had TO do with the
minimum the Allies would accept from
the Turks on financial and economic
questions. The destiny of the disputed

Irwin Untermyer, the New York at

claims of the heirs of Abdul Hamid, who
transferred concessions to American
companies from territories in Mesopo-
tamia. Syria and Tripoli. including Mo-
sui oil. The Allied diplomats appear to
be showing more attention to the Amer
lean claims since the Turks this week
refused to accept the Allied contention
that the sultan's private properties
should be considered as belonging to the
Ottoman state. The Turks insist that
they must be considered as belonging
TO the sultan and his heirs.
This has brought forward the Ques-
ton of whether the American conces-
sions, if established as valid, can par
ticipate in Mosul oil.
The present arrangements. provide
that the Turks will be handed copy
of the Allied draft treaty on January
%. when they will be accorded an OPP
portunity TO discuss it, if they wish.
