Lausanne, Nov. 23.—The question ; of Thrace was again before the com- ; mission of military and territorial matters at the Lausanne conference today. Ismet Pasha, was expected to make a long speech on, Turkey's claim for a plebiscite in western Thrace. The enthusiasm of the Turkish delegates for a plebiscite has evi- dently been considerably dampened by the discovery that England, Italy are solidly nited against the claims of the Tufks to western Thrace. The nationalists are also/ considering the significance of a meeting of the Balkan deligates last night at which it is understood there was a discussion of the policy to be adopted by the Balkan states of the question of western Thrace. It was apparent today that Greece, Rumania and Jugoslavia, in view of the opposition to a ple- biscite expressed yesterday by the entente spokesman, have the hearty support of the three great powers in their efforts to prevent Turkey from extending her western bound- ary beyond’ the. Maritza river. The meeting of the Balkan repre- sentatives which was called by former Premier Venizelos of Greece, was regarded in conference cilcles as of considerate importance be- cause it was the first ‘time in many years that Greece, Bulgaria, Jugo- slavia and Rumania has came to- gether to present a united front on a_clearly defined issued.

Makes Plea For Bill. Representative Greenc of Massa- chusetts, chairman of the house mbr- chant marine committee told the house today that the administration shipping bill would create and ade- quate merchant marine, America’s foreign trade, retain in the country $300,000,000 annuai in freight money, give work to thou- sands of men and guarantee the na-| tion against the necessity of again, bein faced with the task of build- ing a war time merchant fleet. “It is because American shipping in the foreign trade, alone of all our industries has not been aided in the past that it has gone down,” Mr. Greene asserted. “In this bill we are seeking to remedy long years of discrimination and injustice.” The word “subsidy,” said, had become a “Bugaboo” to some and he asked the house to dis- ociate it from their minds in con- dering the measure. “What are the irrigation dams and water government in co-operation with cer- tain states if not a form of subsidy to land owners, stock raisers and agriculturists?” he asked. “What are the land rants and fragchises; What given to railroads? Subsidy. are the advances made for highway: Subsidy. What are the farm mort- ‘ge banks for if not to provide those concerned at lenst an indirect subsidy? These are beneficient ap- plications of a principle with which the public is thoroughly familiar. Why deny its potential beneficence in another quarter because it hap-| pens to come forward under a dif- ferent designatidn?” Plan for Payment. Mr, Greene said the bill provided! a merchant marine fund of $4,000,000 annually to which would be added ten per cent of the annual customs | duties, amounting to about $30,000,- 000. into the fund, Compensation to ships ‘would bo authorized for periods not exceeding 10 years. Even with this aid, Mr Greene said, American ship owne would have to show initiative and enterprise because the compe:-sation would not equalize the difference in labor cost between American and for- eign ships.
