BRITISH STAND FIRM IN MOSUL! ISSUE Insist That Lausanne Pact Shall Send Dispute to League of Nations. ’ *7 - CURZON NOTE WITHHELD Belays Letter to League in Hope . That Turks May Change Minds. XT. S. Position Outlined. i By the Associated Press. LAUSANNE, January 24. —British spokesmen at the Near East confer ence announced today that they would insist that a clause he Inserted In the projected treaty with Turkey to pro vide that the dispute over the Mosul till district be referred to the league •of nations for examination and deci sion. Meanwhile, it was said, the Mosul -incident would not be permitted to interfere with the continuation of the conference or with the presentation of the allied treaty draft, which is i'lmost completed. Lord Curzon's loiter to ttye league of nations, which he announced last night as foreign secretary of the British empire, he would send, appears to be temporarily withheld in the hope that the Turks tnay change their mind and accept his proposal to refer the Mosul prob lem to the league. Lord Curzon held a lengthy con ference with M. Bompard and Marquis di Garroni, heads of the French and .Italian delegations, respectively, to day, to determine the future pro cedure. - An important American feature of last night's dramatic meeting was a statement read by Ambassador Child outlining the position of the United States. Mr. Child said that Lord Curzon had clearly indicated that the British government would hold aloof as far as possible from making concessions in Mesopotamia, otherwise called Irak, ihe subject of deepest interest, and he had declared his belief in the principle that large factors in the ■world's resources should not become the subject of monopolistic develop ment. « The representatives were glad to associate themselves with the intent of Lord Curzon's remarks on this subject; they had expressed their gov ernment's policy, but neither the state nor adherents had reference to any particular resource or field of. eco nomic activity.' Only those who wil fully perverted these declarations had read into them meanings which suited their own political ends Ambassador Child continued; “The American representatives fee! it their duty to refer to Lord Curzon's specific mention of the validity of the claims of the Turkish petroleum com pany and to remind the conference that, without seeking special priv ilege or favor, the government of the United States has not assented to the principle that it may be dissociated in the rights of peace from the usual consequences of association in war. nor in other cases where another principle is involved, will It abandon its policy of the open door. "We refer to the substantial cor respondence our government has already accumulated under two suc cessive administrations in the United Stales. So far as a means to’furnish protection to legitimate American interests is at their hands, it does not affect the duty of the American representatives whether the identity of American rights is associated with a commercial or any other American interest." Mr. Child Concluded by saying that Lord Curzon’s reference to a certain Fruit Cake Lovers Now you can buy a fruit cake of the kind that you would make at home—and save home baking. —a rich, fruity, luscious cake that doesn’t crumble and dry out. —a tender, almost juicy cake with that rare flavor of the raisins and the spice that • . makes you like fruit cake. —a cake that you’ll be glad to serve to friends. ~a prize fruit cake, in fact the most deli cious you have ever known. * ♦ * * Just ask your bake shop or confectioner for it—the cake that’s made with Sun-Maid Raisins These plump, tender, juicy, thin « thinned raisins are ideal for cake.

Crrr mmm Ststs corporation aljorded an opportunity to suggest that where there were conflicting claims already In existence concerning legal rights to resources some means should be provided for a Judicial settlement of these rights, which would give complete assurance of Impartiality. He held that such impartiality could not be provided for specifically In ad vance, but that under a general prin ciple the Interested parties should be satisfied as to the impartiality of the juridical determination at the time of the reference of the conflicting claims. Boycofi Threat Hinted. The -British spokesmen said last night that Lord Curzon would un doubtedly send his commission In time for its consideration at the next meet ing of the council of the league In Paris, which Is set for January 39. They called attention to Curzon's words, that if the Turkish govern ment declined the. council’s invitation to state its case, then the league would probably place in operation all the penalties that exist for such emergencies. These are 'of an eco nomic nature and bind the league to boycott Turkey. (The league of nations has never adopted definite rules for a blockade; each member Is practically its own judge as to whether to institute a blockade or not.) The British added that the latest developments seemed to them dis tinctly unfavorable for the success of the Lausanne conference. The confer ence, however, will continue its la bors, and the Turks will later be pre sented with the draft treaty, in Royal 11th and G Sts. Est. 1877 A. Lisner, Pres. .

Unless the Turk* change their mind this will be sufficient for them to refuse to sign the treaty. Then, Lord Curzon said last night, there may be a renewal-of war in the near cast. U. S.-Turk Treaty Consider*d- As the American delegates here are systematically preparing notes for a possible treaty of amity and com merce between Turkey and the United States, they have a lively Interest in the decisions of the conference, which is now approaching Its climax. The United States has no regular diplomatic relations with Turkey at present, having failed to recognize the government set up by the na tionalists under Mustapha Kemai Pasha. The proposed treaty, there fore, would provide for the resump tion of official relations. In this the broad doctrine of equal ity of opportunity which John Hay. as Secretary of Stale, enunciated for the far east would presumably play an important role, as Mr. Child has como out for extension of this doc trine to the near east during the de liberations here. It is understood that the French also are negotiating with the Turks a special treaty of commerce, which may stand as an annex to the general Lausanne peace. The French position is that, under the application of the doctrine of most-favored nation treatment, all other countries would benefit by the general clauses of the French treaty. * ' ■ ■ T*f S: S.
