AMERICA OPPOSES
TURKISH DEMANDS
Lausanne. America and Japan both
lined up with Great Britain iyid Italy
when they took their stand against
Isinet Pasha's contention that Turkey
had wiped out all the capitulations, or
extra territorial rights for foreigners,
by declaring them null In October,
1914.
Richard W.a3hburn Child, spokes
man for the United States, said that
If any legal dispute should arise, the
Washington government would be ob
liged to take the same position as the
allied powers.
Baron Hnyashl for Japan said he
had great sympathy with Turkey's
dislike for the capitulations, because
his government onco labored under
the same system. Japan, however,
had taken 20 years to build up a legal
system satisfactory to the foreign
powers, and Turkey, ho believed, would
require tho same time for the samo
work.
Iamet told the delegates that Turk
ey's resentment against the capitula
tion system was beyond tho compre
hension of foreigners. These special
rights, he said, wero no longer neces
sary, as tho nationals of othor coun
tries receivo adequate protection from
tho Turkish courts and other institu
tions and should not expect different
treatment from that accorded Turkish
subjects.
