Reds Indicate They Will
Demand Representation
at Lausanne.
OIL FIELDS INVOLVED
Britain Will Probably Side
Against Exploitation
by America.
BY the Associated Press.

Lausanne, April 23.-Opening de-
velopments at the reassembling of the
Near East conference indicate that
Soviet Russia will decline to be elm
mated as factor in the present ne
gotiationS, but will insist on having
something TO say as one of the states
invited to the original conference.
A Russian who was member OF
the Soviet delegation at the last con-
ference arrived here today and an
nounced that authorized Russian req
rescntatives might come later on.
This statement was regarded ms
showing that Russia might be desir
Gus Of entering into official contact
with the powers and thus make n step
toward official recognition which, il
was realized. the execution of Vicar
General Butchavitch had seriously re-
tarded.
Controversy Over Oil.
The question of the Near East oil
fields. especially those covered Dy the
Chester concession, is in the Fore
ground as tho Allied and Turkish DIP
lomats meet to draft a peace treaty
acceptable TO both sides.
Whether the subject OF concessions
will come before the conference or
not seems to depend on the success OF
direct negotiations between British
and French concession. holders and
the Turkish government.
France, il is believed. will probably
insist on the rights accorded her IN
1914 by the former Turkish govern
mcnt. The British delegation has let
it be known that it will support the
French claim in the event the issue
is brought before the conference.
M0sul Fields Involved.
Both Great Britain and France re-
ccivcd the news of the Chester grant
with a bit of uneasircsS-France be-
cause she thinks the 1914 agreement
gives her priority in territory Gov
cred by the concession, and Great
Britain because she is uncertain as
to whether the region thus opened
to American exploitation affects the
inundated Irak territory. in which the
valuable Mosul fields lie.
Delegates here understand that the
United States. through her represen-
tative. Joseph c. Grew. will continue
to support the open door policy that
she advocated at the previous Lau-
same conference
II is also believed that Minister
Grew will defend. if necessary. the
Chester concession in the event the
American government decides it is
not in violation of its adherence TO
policy of equal rights for all ma
tons.

Foe of Bolshevism,
Soviet Says.
TRIAL Is POSTPONED
Woykmen Demand His Exc
cution as a Counter
... revolutionist.

Moscow, April 23.-The trial OF
the Most Rev. DR.. Tikhon, former
patriarch Of all Russia. on charge
of treason and hinderinS the carrying
out of soviet orders. has been post
poncd indefinitely. 1t had been set to
begin tomorrow.
The soviet press is filled with a
rcputed confession of the prelate.
The confession" indicates that Dr.
Tikhon must have undergone numer-
Gus preliminary examinations. Not
one word in his defense is found in
the newspapers. On the contrary, the
dispatches of the official government
agency from The provinces tend TO
show that meetings of working men
are demanding Tikhon's execution as
a .counter-revolutionist
DIR. Tikhon will go before the Sow
let court admitting that he is an I'M
placable foe Of BolshcviSm. 1t is said
that the former patriarch has admitted
the following:
That he maintained connection with
Admiral Kolchak and General Barou
Wrangel and offered them spiritual
support.
That he sent letters through for
eign missions, thus evading The cen
sorship.
Knew Allied Plans. Is Charge.
That he maintained connection with
the Observation-Disclosures in 1918
and 1919 through uniformed agent
known as Feodor. DIR. Tikhon has
said that these connections were of a
clerical nature only.
That he personally received the
French and British consuls in Mos
COW at the time of the Archangcl-
Murmansk expedition. in which the
United States participated. and was
informed of all plans of the Allies 10
invade Russia and establish an east
ern front against Germany.
That lie blessed the famous Car
lovitoz concIave in which Russian
priests and laymen from abroad met
in Czechoslovaka and which passed
resolutions for the restoration of the
monarchy. Tikhon's alleged confession
says he acted upon the advice of the
All-Russian Council of Churches in
blessing the conclave, but that he did
not know it. would support the mon
archy.
That he confessed he sent out
proclamation in 191S-1919 calling
upon the faithful TO struggle against
the Soviet regime. (Tikhon has
said these encyclicals we're framed in
accordance with the trend of mind Of
that periodD
Blessed Gar. Is Charge.
That he called for blessings upon
the heads of the ear and his fam
lily.
That in 1918 he caused a general
ringing Of the church bells. which the
government alleges created riots. at
the time of the separation of church
and state. (Dr. Tikhon said the bells
were rung only because anarchists and
bandits were robbing churches
That he communicated with and
