IS TAKING AT THE LAUSANNE CONFERENCE Philadelphia, ‘Washington, Nov 29.—(By The A. P.) | —Published attacks upon the position ilhe American government is taking at the Lausanne conference, attributed to Henry Morganthau, ambassador to. Tur- key under the Wilson administration; prompted the state department to issue a formal denial today aimed rather at ithe implications involved in the printed version of Mr. Morgonthau's remarks than at the specific allegations they con- tained. The specific statement involved alleg- ed co-operation of the state departmefit with the Standard Oid company to ob- tain renunciation by the Dutch Sheil company, a British concern, of a por- tion of its interests in Palestine, in fa- vor of the American company. The de- partment’s statement said Mn Mor- genthau had been either incorrectly quoted or misinformdd in this~ connec- tion. The general implication read by de- partment officials into Mr. Morganthau's remarks was that the Ame govern- ment was chiefly concerned at Lausanne or élsewhere in obtaining commercial op- portunities in the near east for Ameei- can oil companies. In that conmection the department’s statement said: “The implication in this (Mr. genthau's) statement was nied by the department.” The only action taken by the depart- ment which could possibly be referred to| in the published actount, the statement continued, “Was #8 mandate notes ask- ing for equal opportunity for American enterprise in mandate territorles, an at- titude which this administration has taken as well as the prior administration. “With respect to Palestine separatély,’ the statement added, “the only actioh taken theré was to obtain frofi the Bfit- ish government the recogmition of the legal rights already acquited by the Standard Oif Company in Palestine through permits which had béen isstied to that compatrly, and the department did no more than it does for any Amér- jican citizen n supporting its legally so- quired rights.” The Standard Oil Company is under- stood to hold a number of permits dating the war. - pondence of a most friendly character has not yet bésn forwafd wor@ fiom Prefhier Lord Curzon’s statement, to the press at Lausanne, recently, that Great Britain regarded the San Remo pact as “null and void,” there is no disposition here to doubt that such is the British atti- tude. As to the general attitude of the Amer- ican delegation as Lausanne, it can be said authoritatively that instructions to Aml or Child make it plain that a paramount interest of the United States relates to humanitarian considerations, such as the rights of religious and racial minoritles, the protection of educational institutions and similar questions in Tur-: key. 1t s strongly hoped in Washington that the Lausanne meeting will result in gen- eral agreements on these points. Aside from this humanitarian policy on the one hand and the open door for trade and commerce developments in Turkey on the other, it is understood that the American delegation at Lausan- ne is not working in the interest of any specific American commercial project in the near east. And it can be said def- initely that the Washington government | seeks only to obtain proper recognition | of the rights of American business enter- prises to compets against all comers in ;hc qu:evelmmmm of Turkey. if they so les!

DEMOCRATS IN THE SENATE CONTINUE THEIR FILIBUSTER Washington, Nov. 29.—Determination Vot senate republicans to wage “a finish fight” in behalf of the Dyer anti-lynching bill failed today to weaken democratic senators in their filivuster against the measure, and ‘the senate adjourned over the Thanksgiving holiday with no end of the filibuster in sight. Appeals, arguments, criticiem and counter-tactics were employed by the re- ‘ publicans in an endeavor to break through | the democratic obstruction. All, however, went for naught, and Senator Lodze of | Massachusetts. who as the party leader presided over the republican caucus yes- terday at which a resolution was passed ito force a senate session on Thanksgiving day. if necessary to break the filibuster, énded a five-hour session with a motion to adjourn until Friday. ‘The adjournment found the senate with less accomvlished in five hours today than fn yesterday's four-hour session. at which the filibuster was inaugurated. The républicans yesterday succeeded in get- ting approved the journal of the previous day’s proceedings; but today the reading of the journal was barely completed and Senator Hacrison of Mississinpi, at the end of the session, stood ready to pre- sent nearly a dozen amendments to the journal, if necessary to continue the fili- buster. Senators on both the democratic and . fepublican sides yesterday commented on the scientific way In which the democratic leaders conducted the fillbuster. These sénators after today’s session frankly declared that “more and more the wonder grew,” and Senator Curtis of Kansas, the republican whip. asserted on the floor that congress had seen no fili- buster so complete since the famous force bill was talked to dea%h in 1891. Senator Willis of Ohio, one of the strongest re- :nblk;n advocates of the antl-lynching ill, went even further in a speech late in the day and sald “the parliamentacy history of this country discloses nothing to approach the situation which how ex- ists in the senate.” The determination of the democrats to eontinue obstruction until the republicans agreed to lay aside the Dyer bi'l was an- mounced om the floor and in privaté con- versstions. Their determination was no strofiger than that of those republicans fa e of the measure. by some tonight to point to a con- tinuation of efforts on both sides until the extra session adjourns sine dle Saturday 000 ACRES OF FAEM LAND IN WISCONSIN DEVOTED TO PEAS Milwaukee, Wis.,, Nov. 2. — Ninety thousand acres of farm land in Wiscon- sin are used in the raising of peas, more than 60 per cent, of the total amount produced in the United States, aceord- ing to J.
