U SH RULE SHOULD CEASE SAYS AMERICA President Declares American Citizens Must Be Protected Regardless 'of What Change Is Made. RUSSIA IS TO CONSIDERED United States Representation in Mai. ter Not Advisable Under Present Circumstfinces, Says Note Washington, Matrcb 30.-Vigorouc eIpression of President Wilson's opin ion that "the often expressed liten tion of the Allies that the anomaly o: the Turks in Europe should cease,' should be carried out in framing the urkish treaty, -characterized th( iAmerican rejoinder of the recent Al lied note transmitting information as to the status of treaty negotiations. While the strength or arguments for retention of the Turks in Constan tiriople was reorganized, the note said 3 merican Government believes the 'ai guments against it are far strongei and contain certain imperative ele ments which it would not seem pos sible to ignore." The American rejoinder was handed to the French ambassador here Marci 24 for transmission to Premier Mil. lerand and made public tonight by the State Department on advices that it had been delivered. - President Wilson, it .said, "does not deem it advisable in the present cir cumstances" that the United States should be represented at the -confer ences as suggested by the Allied coin munication. Ie feels, however, it was added, that "as this government is vitally interested in the future peacc of the world, it should frankly express its views on the proposed solutions of the difficult questions connected wtih the Turkish 'treaty." Comment on some of the territorial phases and upon the whole economic program of the proposals as to the treaty was deferred pending more com plete information ns to the objects sought. The note takes occasion to say, however, "that it is the under standing of the government of the United States that whatever territorial changes or arrangements may be made in the former Ottoman empire, such changes or arrangements will in no way place A nierican citizcn; or eor porations, or the citizens or corpora tion\ of any other country in a less favorable situation than the- citizens of corporations of any power party to ( this treaty." The American expression 'notes with plcasure that provision is made for Russian representation on the control council which it is proposed shall he established for the government of Conl stantinople and the straits." In this connection, it adds: 'This government is convinced that no arrangement that is made concern ing the government and control of Constantinople and the straits can have any elements of permanency un less the vital interests of Russia in those problemis are carefully p rovidled for andl protectedl, and unless it is uji derstood that Russia, when it has a govern ment recogn ized by the civiliz ed world, may assert its right to be heard in regardl to the dlecisions now' madec." - -0----.
