THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, FORTLAND, DECEMBER 31, 1922 ; Sy SOVIET. LEADER Closer Collaboration With Americans Sought. CUT IN NAVIES FAVORED Sides Are Taken With Turkey in Struggle to Obtain Sov ereign Freedom. LAUSANNE, Pec SO. (By the As iociated Press.) M. Tchltcherin, the Russian soviet foreign minister, made an appeal for recognition of the soviet federation today in a tatement to the Associated Press. "The soviet republic," he said, "earnestly hopes that the begin ning of the new year will bring us into closer collaboration with the American people for productive work and for the opening of our natural resources to mankind. "Our most earnest desire is uni versal naval disarmament, as well as disarmament on land, peace and productive work. The soviet repub lic is strong enough to resist ag gression, but we must regret that the scheme which has prevailed at Lausanne will compel us to arm and fortify our eouth coast and will di vert us from our fundamental aim t production." Memorandum Banded 'Oat. The entire soviet delegation de livered a New Year's sermon to the powers, taking as a text "Russia's sympathy for oppressed peoples." M. Tchiteherin distributed to all the delegations at Lausanne a memor andum declaring that a solution of the near east problem is possible only by abandonment of the policy of conquest and intervention to ward Turkey. Happily, the Soviets advent to power in Russia had saved Turkey from total disinte gration. Unhappily, however, at Lausanne, according to the memor andum, the great powers continuo their old policy of domination and expansion and seek to settle the traits problem so that it can be used as a basis of attack against the Black sea countries. The memorandum warmly takes ides with Turkey in her struggle for sovereign freedom and insists that imperialistic nations must cease to consider Moslems as inferiors. Special Conference Urged. In behalf of the Moscow govern ment, M. Tchiteherin recommended the calling of a special conference to examine into the status of the minorities of all countries, and de clares that the only way to estab lish peace in the valley of the Danube and in the Balkans is the formation of a federation by the peoples of those regions, each state retaining its autonomy. Today's developments brought no appreciable change in the delicate position of the Lausanne confer ence. Optimists found hope in the fact that the Turks have agreed to meet the British experts and dis cuss the Mosul frontier and in the announcement that further progress had been made In the solution of the straits problems. But it is gen erally admitted that no change for the better or worse can come until Ismet Pasha has heard from An gora and until the trend of the Paris reparations conference can be noted. The American plan for an Arme nian national home was a feature of today's session. Turks Send Reinforcements. ATHENS, Dec. 30.
