Grew, representing the state de partment. : Officials were reticent today as to the negotiations and had a lengthy interchange by cable with Mr,' Grew, but it was apparent that they would not be surprised if the treaty was in shape for final agreement before Ismet leaves for Angora on Thursday, as is his announced intention. Action Expected In view of the fact that the most important matter under con sideration at Lausanne was the restoration of peace in the Near East through the treaty signed to day, there has been no disposi tion in Washington to press for urgent consideration for the Turkish-American pact. - " ' There Is no compelling reason, in the American view, why the separate treaty must be complet ed' at this time , but since an un usually good opportunity to work out . details has , been afforded there i no dpubt that official Washington will be disappointed If any last moment difficulty pre vented such an outcome.
