aion on the continuance of judicial ca
pitulations in Turkey having come ' to
a deadlock, the question has been, re
ferred to the'jnain committee again.'
The contention 'of the allies Is that
if f he Ottoman judicial system is out
of date it should be. replaced by com
plflte guarantees, : The Turka ' declare
that their legalisystem'ls as good 'as
any in the world and that it gives
guarantees to ' foreigners and foreign
enterprises. ,
Turkey will ; not accept capitulations
or any substitute for them. Even the
declaration by Baron Hyashi . that it
required 20 years for Japan to replace
the capitulation system did not swerve
the Turks.: The deadlock does . not
mean that consideration of the ques
tion is ended. It means that the al
lies and the 'Turks will limit -their
concessions on this point Until the final
bargaining on all points begins. - .
