LONDON, January 30.-The Colo

the decision announced early in De
cember that the permissible export of
rubber under the Stevenson scheme

idea that there will be any revision

Favored by Admiral Bristol.

When Admiral Bristol. American
high commissioner and special Am
bdSSadOr at ConStantinop,e. was in
the United States last year. he spent
many weeks attempting to convince
all concerned that the Lausanne
treaty ought to be ratified. Thor
oughly Conversaut with conditions in
Turkey as Bristol has been for the
past five years. he has no reserva-
tons in advocating the treaty as the
best possible arrangement obtainable.
There is no alternative in the Ad
mirals judgment. except disaster for
American interests
The chief arguments made against
the treaty by its opponents are: That
in the abandonment of the Capitula
tons, which it admits. it gives UP the
historic guarantees Of justice for
Americans in Turkey without Secur-
ing adequate safeguards in their
place; that the treaty in effect
acquiesces in the Turkish refusal to
recognize American naturalization
laws in so far as they affect Turks
who return to their native land,
though these laws are recognized by
all civilized countries; that it fails
adequately to protect the charitable
and philanthroDic enterprise Of
Americans in Turkey, which have
been one of the strongest interests of
this country in the Near East; that it
serves to bolster up the otherwise
lettering regime of Mustapha Kemal
Pasha; and that it abandons Ar
menia, Notwithstanding the many
pledges, official and unofficial, that its
independence would be secured.

voted out of the Senate committee on

February, 1925. Senator Swanson,

him, Gov. Smith declared.
"He will either produce evidence or
