Moreover, the commission, cognizant
of the greatly improved condition Of

The preliminary. study may result
In no action whatever. On the other
hand, it holds the possibility of re-

small-reduction in rates generally.
The difficulty, however, in the situa-
tion is that such a reduction would
apply to the weaker roads as well
as the strong. II it were simply a
question of fixing rates on the basis
of the earnings of some of the big
roads. there is little doubt that a re-.

TURK DEBT TERMS
NEW BARTO PEACE
ismet Pasha Demands Aid
for Treasury Before Ad-
mitting Obligations.
By tie Associated Press.

By tie Associated Press.
LAUSANNE, June 1.-The near east
conference Is living up to its reputa-
ton of being the creator of crises,
and the wearied diplomats have been
forced to refer to their homo govern
ments the problem OF how Turkey
shall pay the interest on the Ottoman
debt and the question OF judicial safe
guards for foreign residents in Tur-
key.
The allies want the Turks to put in
the treaty the declaration that Tur-
key confirms the decree Of Murahem
of 1880, recognizing all the obliga-
tions OF the Ottoman debt, but Ismet
Pasha Is not inclined to do, this, un-
less the allies accept a clause offering
some relief to the Turkish treasury.
The interest on the Ottoman debt
Is payable at the option of the bond
European powers, and the bondhold-
ers naturally select the highest,
namely. pounds sterling. This Is a
severe blow to the Turkish treasury
now that Turkish currency has de-
preciated to one-seventh Of its value
as compared with it's pre-war value.
The Turks contend that they should
be partially relieved Of the burden
which is due to general financial dis
organization of Europe, but the al
lies reply they have no right to inter-
fere with the prerogatives of the
bondholders.
Another meeting Of the American
and Turkish experts framing the new
Turco American treaties will be held
Monday. Ismet Pasha and Joseph C.
Grew are keeping the negotiations
informal until after the signature of
peace between the allies and Turks
at Lausanne, which everybody pre-
diets, despite the present deadlock.

PARIS, juno 2.-That the comine
week may lay the basis for a new
inter-allied accord is the hope en-.
tertained here tonight in view of the
Brussels meeting between Premiers
Poincare and Theunis, scheduled for
next Wednesday. at which the whole
reparation problem. as we'll as the
future Of the Ruhr occupation, will
be taken up.
The nero fact that this meeting
has been scheduled for the date II
has indicates modification In the
French point of view. since the Bel
CLANS have been insistent as to the
need for an early conference, while
the French until few days ago were
steadily inclined toward postpone
ment.
what Theunis Wants.
The Theunis plan. envisages aban-
donment of the Franco-Belgian occu-
patton Of the Ruhr, although a small
garrison of allied troops would re-
main in the Ruhr territory. The plan
calls for placing the entire Reich
debt on a commercial basis through
the medium of sixty-year monopolies
to be granted to international syndi-
Gates in which Germans would be in
cluded.
This plant is much criticized in
France on the ground that it calls
for too great reliance on Germanys
good will. besides depending for its
success on foreign capital which
might not be forthcoming. 1t is
charged also that the Theunis plan
would leave the allied experts In the
Ruhr guarded by only small bodies
of troops so that, in case the scheme
collapsed, France would be back in
the same position she was prior to
occupation of the territory.
The French plan. one the other
hand. calls for direct exploitation of
the Ruhr, to be followed by return
of the Ruhr resources to Germany
in proportion as the latter makes
reparation payments. but with French
hands still kept on the Ruhr lever
as a guaranty that payments will be
continued.
VIII Agree to New Plan.
This Is the point of view that will
be advanced by Premier Poincare at
Brussels, where he will seek to reach
a compromise between his own and
the Belgian attitudes. 1t can be
stated definitely, however. that the
position which M. Poincare has thus
far maintained of refusing to agree
to a new reparation settlement plan
from the allied side will go into the
discard at Brussels, whether or not
the Germans advance a fresh offer
in the meantime.
Influencing this change in the
French premter's attitude, there is
aside from the pressure being
brought to bear on him from Bel
gium and from some sections of
French opinion, belief that, even in
default of the appearance of a new
German offer, a new reparation set
tlement plan soon may be forthcom-
ing from England.
Premier Baldwin is known here to
desire an early settlement of The
problems of reparations and inter-
allied debts. -'--
