tempt to stabilise tha peace of
Kurupe will be undertaken here
next Monday with the Inaugura
tion of the Near Ksatern Confer
ence by practicafly all the powers
of Western and Southeastern
Kurope. i
Primarily summoned to establish
pence between virtorioua Turkey
and defeated Greece, the confer
ence possesses vast important to
the United BUitea and to all of
Europe."
It must settle the various prob
lems that have prow's, ou( of the
Turks' return to the continent of
which they were expelled after the
great Wir. aa well as the all-
dominant question of the freedom
of the IDanianolles in which Amer
ica has a neutral Interest.
The conference must lay down
for Turkey new frontiers and take
up tha delicate question of Tur
key's capitulations, or concessions.
whereby foreigners In Turkey, like
thoae living in China, have been
exempt from Turkish laws and
free from taxation. Turkey de
mands freedom from these restric
tions and clamors for national ad
ministrative liberty.
With departing from her tra
ditional policy of non-intervention
in European politics, the United
Statsa haa shown her interests In
the forthcoming developments of
the conference by designating three
observers Richard Washburn Child,
American ambassador to . Italy,
Joseph Q. Grew, minister to Switz
erland, and Rear Admiral Mark L.
Bristol, official American repre
sentative at Constantinople.
' Kecent events In London, Paris,
