TSMET PASHA was authorized by
1 the Angora government to sign the
peace treaty formulated at Lausanne,
and the act Of signing was set for July
"a. The treaty represents triumph
for Turkey and for the United States
the latter because m the demand Of
Minister Grew valuation of prewar
concessions Is omitted and the open
door policy prevails. The Turks gain
practically everything for which they
contended. and even their concessions
were modified so that the treaty
would not be rejected at Angora. For

the final ratification Of the treaty. so
the pact ae finally drawn says each
allied nation shall keep one warship

available wheat supply in America.
The demand for the spy records Is
justified by an article In the treaty Of
Versailles.

parliament to pass his new electoral
law which permits the redistrlcting
