TURKEY ASKS RIGHT T0 CONTROL ALIENS Must Have Freedom to Deal With Immigration, Allied Envoys Told. By the Associnted Press. LAUSANNE, May 1.—Freedom to regulate Turkey's immigration, both mass and individual, was demanded today by Ismet Pasha, chief delegate of the Angora government to the near east peace conference, during a | discussion of the future status of toreigners in Turkey. Asked if Turkey desired to apply the quota system uged by the United States he aswered in the negative, but said his country desired complete liberty to deal with the questions. After the discussion the entire section of the treaty dealing with foreigners in Turkey, Including this feature, was submitted to the experts for redraft- ing. Russla_has riddled Lausanne with moviet shot again and aroused the anger of Swiss statesmen. who pride themselves on thelr country's impa tiality and hospitality. Official Swi zerland regards with gravity R complaint made tn M. Vorovsky's pub- Tic statement_that by preventing the arrival of a Russian courier at Lau- | sanne the Swiss confederation was guilty of taking sides in a confli Detween Russia and certain of the great powers and therefore had aban- doned with disloyalty her role of fmpartiality and fairness. Russia Barred. The whole controversy goes back to the original decision of the pow- ers to invite Russia to the Lausanue conference only for the discussion on the straits and not in any way to participate in the general peace dis- cussions with Turkey. Russia be- lieves that she should take part in all the near eastern conversations. She opposes the straits convention drafted by the allies with Turkey, contends that s the straits treaty has not yet been signed she has a perfect right to be at Lau-| sanne. | M. Vorovsky recalled receiving alet- | gugrd and organized reserves could !

Answering this letter, M. Vorovsky mald he presented a note to the Ttal-| fan_government, to which he is ai credited, explaining that Russia was unable to accept this “allied ultim: tum” as it was a violation of the allied invitation of November 14.

He forwarded the contents of | this note to the near east confer-| once on April 27 and insisted that | there was nothing in common be- tween the Moscow governments note to Italy and the holding up of the Russian courier in Berlin. France Asks Change. France has frankly informed Turkey that she does not like the concentration of Turkish troops on the Syrian frontier and that if it is intended as a menace France refus to be intimidated and will reinforce | the French troops in Syria if she be- lieves it necessary.. Gen. Pelle, the French high com- missioner, invited Ismet Pasha to Iuncheon ‘today 28 a gesture of good will and friendship, and informed | Ismet, according to the French| spokesman, that France feels ag-| grieved over the Chester concession, | because Turkey gave to the Chester | syndicate something already given to | France. The Turks now explain the presence | of troops in Cilicia as due to the ne- cessity of subduing armed Armenian ‘bands. The allies, although admitting that | Turkey could make a troublesome military move against Syria, still feel | confident they are masters of the mill- tary situation in Asia Minor, especial- ly ‘as recent events would lead to Franco-British military co-operation, The English army at Chanak, Con- stantinople and elsewhere is described as especially fit, due to intensive| training, and the French troops in Syria under Gen. Weygand can be quickly strengthened from colonial Doint. The French have informed inquir- ing Turkish _newspapermen that France, like England, would never consent to evacuate Constantinople until the Lausanne treaty had been | ratifled. MRS. W. B.

DAYTON, Ohio, May 1.—Gliding twenty-five miles against & forty- nine-mile wind with his mator developing less than fifteen horse- power, Lawrence Sperry arrived at Dayton last night after a four-hour flight from Washington, D. C. Twenty-five horsepower heu previ- ously benn required to keep a plane in the air. Sperry flew a Sperry messenger, the smallest ship ever flown suc- cessfully, and estimated that he gained thirty miles an hour by patterning his flight after buz- zards observed on the teip in tak- ing advantage of air currents. His only stop was at Moundsville, W. Va. He mainta'ned a safe altitude with his motor running_1.100 revo- lutions a minute, or 750 revolu- tions slower than previous records. The pllot was the first to transfer a package from one plane to an- other in flight and recently landed one of the little ships on the Capitol steps at Washington. INFANTRY REDUCED BY REALIGNMENT Cavalry, Field Artillery and Aviation Forces Are! Slightly Increased. The War Department has virtually completed reallotment of the 125,000 enlisted men in its service with the result that the strength of infantry unita have been decreased and those of the cavalry increased. Infantry, previously allowed 8.057 of the 000 men, is now but 46,435 In recommending this cut the general staff pointed out that the national be depended upon to swell that branch in an emergency. Cavalry Increased. Cavalry, formerly allowed 8.731 men, was increased to 9,871, This in- crease was made on the basis that cavalry requires a longer training period and because many of the etates have not Included cavalry troeps in their guard organizations be- ause of the expense entailed “ield artillery was increased from 164 men to 1. largely for the same reagons as determining the while the coast from 13.106 to 12 The air service was largest increase of any branch. Its increasing value as & combat arm and the expensive upkeep caused an increase of 1,774 men to be allowed The air force was held to be one of the highest specialized branches, re- quiring long training and without any outside source for expansion in an_emergency. The Engineer Corps dropped from 5242 to 5020, the Quartermaster Corps from '8,737 to 8.000, the chem- ical warfare service from 524 to 445 and the allowance of men ailotted to duties assignable under the detached enlisted men's list from 6,000 5.764.

While Secretary Hoover and his ad- visers in charge of the American Re- lief Administration are considering termination of relief work in Russia, it was sald today that no definite de- cision would be reached until the exact prospect in regard to Russian crops is known. Already, it was revealed, the relief administration has spent $70,000,000 in Russia without any public appeal for funds. In addition to a congres- sional appropriation of $20.000,000 cavalry strength, as reduced given the |about $14,000,000 was furnished b Russians in_America, $7.000,000 was taken from the Relief Administration treasury as a balance left over from previous European activities. $11,500,- 000 in gold was furnished by the soviet government, while Jewish or- | ganizations in the United States ad- vanced $4,000,000 and ten religious denominations furnished substantial amounts.

Assistant Attorney General A. T. Se: mour and Special Assistant J. A. Fowler, in presenting the government's case. asserted that since February 7 an orgy of speculation has been indulged in through the Instrumentality of the ex- change and its clearing assoclation, and that enormous quantities of raw suga: more than the total stocks then in exis ence, have been the subject of fictitious or “paper” sales. The result, they said, was that the price of raw and refined sugars had been increased more than 2 cents & pound to the consumers. Only 300 Tons Delivered. Mr. Seymour in his argument pre- sented affidavits from the Massach: tts legislative committee: which re cently investigated the high price of sugar. It was confirmed, he stated, that the ten sugar refining companies operating fifteen refineries on the At- lantic coast and two on the Daci coast purchased little, if any, of their raw sugars through the exchange. There was no economic necessity for the exchange as operated at present, he declared. Figures wera submitted to show that out of more than 1 000 tons of raw sugars bought and sold on the exchange during Febru- ary only 300 tons had actually been delivered. The rest of the transac- tions, he claimed, had been scttled through the exchange's clearing as- sociation by means of matched sales &nd ring settlements. An affidavid of Earl D.

Post of the Na- tional Sugar Refining Company; B. Atkins & Co., sugar dealers; Willlam J. Jamieson of Arbuckle Brothers; Vice President Plerce J. Smith of the Fed- ral Sugar Refining Company, and a number of the large chain stores and wholesale grocers. The defendants in their answer as- | serted that the purchase of sugar for | future delivery upon the exchange is & distinct benefit to all producers and consumers and to persons engaged in | commerce in sugar and to the public in general, in that it enables carriers of sugar to protect themselves agal t rice fluctuations by the making of hedging” contracts on the exchange.

After denying mqst of the allega- | tions contained in the government's petition the answer asserts that there | was sufficient economic justification for the rise in sugar prices during | February and March, stating that an adequate cause for 'the abrupt and sudden rise in prices on February 13 was the publication in the newspapers of the country of the Department o Commerce estimate of the season’ sugar crop.
