Itonar Law clung to his policy of "tranquillity," and made It clear thai the British government would be quite willing to reconsider the question of a cancellation of the Trench debt, pro vided auch a step was made possible by a reparations settlement satisfac tory to Ureal Britain.

The British re fused to he associated In any effort tc Induce the United Sta'es to cancel Iti debt, and Mussolini thought America should b left out of the discussion of tbe problem.

Vis count Grey said the real motive Im polling the French seizure of the Ruhl was not lo gain money, but lo ohtuir security. This security France feel II does nol have so lon' as America refuses to pledge aid should the nee arise. PUF.SIMENT II A RHINO'S admlnl trillion flrmlv ma n'aln Its positloi that Geriiian reparation and tlie nil e war debts are scpnrute and !Mi mitlers: lliBt the dehta should le o and that the reparations should le ad justed on a basis of Germany's riiiu hility to iay. However, Itcpresrnla tlve I'.tirton of tihio. a member of the debt refunding commission, has put forward a suggestion for giving Europe tinuticiiil ul.. It Is. hi'ieMy, that while the principal of loans repaid hy the al lies is used to retire Liberty bonds us contemplated hy law, the Interest he re-loaned "under projM-r auervlslon for security for purposes of expans'on and betterment In the countries which pay." Such loans, he holds, would en large the resources of debtor countries and eiihunce their ulillity to meet their obligutiuus. GOOD progress was made last week by tbe Neur Lust conference In Luusunne. Must of the time wus glveu over to tleuiauds by the allies that the Turks give sultuhle guarantees for the satety of Christian uituorities, especially the Anueniuns, and to dis cussion of Uie propuaitiun. Lord Cur son, spokesman, for tbe allies In this, was supported to a considerable exte.a by American Ambassador Child, who not only stated bis position before the conference, but called on Ismet Pasha uud tried to ludut-e biin to agree to a compromise. Lord Cureon insisted that Turkey should Juiu tbe League of Nations and consent to tbe establish ment of commissions to supervise and assure protection for the Christian minority populations. Ismet protested that tbe presence of sui-b commissions in luikey would result in the defiance of Turkish rule and sovereignty, tie said be would accept a plun to put the minorities uu the sume footing as the iuiiuirlt.es in Itiinuinlu. Juo-Klavla, and Czechoslovakia, as provided In other treaties. He poln.ed out that In none of these countries does the League of Nations uiuiiitnln comiiiisslons to be a constant source of trouble. Lord I'urzou's reply was that unless Turkey yielded on this point, the con-1 ference would come to un end. Ismet took u day to -inisider this, and then announced that Turkey would Join the League of Nations us soon as pe wus signed. As the league exercises general supervision over minority popu lations, this was taken as inclining Mint Turkey will accept the league's super-j vision over the Christ an tuitiorit c In i tl at country. I sine I. however, ins ste A. Turkey would not establish a national ' home for the Annen ans. The allied; delegates expressed their sat sfiu tion 1 wlili the Turkish decision and assured Ismet the rights of his country w ouln , not be Infnnged. While on the subject of conferences.
