It fails to solve the Armenian problem, the Armenians being obli ged to find new havens. It reduces Turkey's site by its rec ognition of detached mandate states like Syria, Mesopotamia and Pales tine. . .. .. .. With one stroke of the pen, it rids Turkey of judicial capitulations, such as China mainly sought td ac complish for itself at Washington and which Japan achieved only after two decades of struggle. In only one way is Turkey treated differently from other countries: for eign legal advisers will be empowered to receive complaints relating to ar rsts and imprisonment of foreigners. The American diplomatic repre sentatives, headed by Joseph Grew, Minister to Switzerland, were promi nent in all of the sessions of the con ference. As observers, they played a dominating role in the last phases. They successfully insisted upon the inclusion in the treaty of clauses en forcing the application of the prin ciple of an open door and equal op portunity. „ „ , The general treaty, formally end ing the state of war, was signed by Great Britain, France, Italy, Japan, Greece, Rumania and Turkey. ' Jugo-Slavia announced at the last minute her refusal to sign on the ground that to do so would be harm ful to her national invests. The treaty distributed the Ottoman debt among countries like Jugo-Slavia, which acquired part of the former Ottoman Empire.
