Lausanne, Dee. II. (By Associated, Press.) Ismst Pasha has failed to persuade the United States and the European powers that Turkish laws and Turkish courts afford adequate protection to the life and property of foreigners residing In Turkey, and the near east- conference stands in- grave danger of breaking lip on this question. - ; y k " Europe and America Insist that Special courts, 'upon which foreign,' Jil4aa-ilU.aMiaW -n'tef - -Justles-' to foreigners rn Mustapha Kernel') rWlWWetaabecMtes, that ch courts would be'eo Infrinllrs nient on Turkish sovereignty. . In fact, he reiterated this declaration so oftsa at today's, stormy meeting of the commission on capitulations that Lord Cursoa retorted: , " ' "I beg that Ismet . Pasha wrap up and place carefully away In a cupboard this question of Turkish sovereignty, whloh nobody wishes In the least to offend. Turkey is not the only country which enjoys sov ereignty; many other powers have It, and frequently greater powers thin Turkey submit questions to interna tional tribunals without fear of im pairing their sovereign rights." - Ismet had declared that Turkish laws and Turklah oourte were the equal of any In Europe so often, Lord Curton continued, that he had actually come to believe It. "But the Important thing Is not what the Turkish delegation thinks about Turkish justice," added Curson, "but what the rest of the world thlnka about It. England's King George IV convinced himself that he led the guards at the battle of Water loo, but nobody elss ever believed it, and history does not record it "The plain truth is, Turkish laws are based on Moelem law and were drawn by Moslem Jurists and theo logians. The judges are uneducated, poorly paid and dilatory.

This conference la frequently described aa ons of the constructive achieve- . ment ef the admlnletratlon, and some.pt the ssnatars asserted in the. course of the debate today that It would never have been heid.but for the Initiative of the "statesman" from Idaho. Some of the onlookers' , think Mr. Borah will first be drag-,, gad wall out of the limelight, and with thts detail attended to, a par ley such as favored by Mr. Borah will then be called, either la this country or abroad. As ths debate continued today the ' scenes about the senate chamber were not dissimilar from those of yeatsrday., Th crowda were there, heping to so and hear something, and there is small doubt that the common- run of folks that Is, the . people ; whs occupied seats outside th diplomatic and private senatorial . galleries were with Borah.

Now, said the senator, every business man knows that the world la In torment because the treaty makers laid Impossible bur dens upon ths German people. This wss Interesting becsuse It is fslrlv well understood that the. President snd the secretary of state are at this moment embarrassed over the1 Ger--man reparations pioblem. Thle Is why the Borah amendment preclpl tsted a situation for which the ad ministration was -unprepared. This ' situation Is so delicate In character that the President is known to have spent much time yesterday in devis ing some safe means of indicating to the Congress the tentative plana of the administration with respect to a settlement of Europe's economlo and political difficulties. In his letter ths President gave as- ' surance that the European situation had been given the most careful and thoughtful consideration, and a re buke for Mr. Borah was seen In the statement that "Inquiry at the state department would have revealed the futility of any conference call until It If understood that such a confea- ' ence would be welcomed by the na tions contented, within the limit of discussion which the expressed will (Continued on page four.) , .
