British Foreign Secretory, and Premier
Mussolini, ei ireiy.
The conference meets In private wa
nton today for purposes of organiza
tion and te start the actual work of
making peace with the Turks;
Fer centuries Turkey has burn able
te protect herself by getting European
nations te quarrel among themselves
ever Near Eustern. Questions. The ri
valry of France, Italy and Great
Hrltaln for supremacy in the Levant
tins been the protection of weak Sul
tans in the past and It remains te be
seen whether It will also be of service
te Mustapbe Kcinal Pasha ,and bis
Angera associates.
Israet Pasha and bis associates of
the Turkish delegation te the confer
ence appear lean confident than when
they arrived, and the feeling lsgrewlug
that they will reduce their program
materially in the hope of restoring
peace mid re-establishing trade rela
tions with the outside world.
It in becoming, evident that they arc
beginning te realize that it was Greece
and- net the great Powers of Europe
tthlcu they defeated 4n their "recent
successful campaign about Smyrna.
Dr. Fridtjof NansenHs in Lausanne
In an effort te persuade conference del
egates te include, in the prospective
treaty with Turkey guarantees for the
protection ei ureeKs and Armenians in
Turkish territory. framed In such defi
nite terms that the refugee situation in
the ienr East will net be further ag
cravated.
"Unless the minorities in' Asia Miner
arc protected through the efforts of the
Tjniminnc Conference," Dr. Nanscn
mid, "there seems te be nothing left
for the unfortunate Greeks and Arme
nians. Greece has magnanimously re
ceived both Greek and Armenian refu
Kef up te the full point of Its ability,
and they are being supported through
-American charity nnd the contributions
,of European countries.

"Three"cnurses of. act ion are pesslbla
land the choice among them Is no longer
te be avoided.
"The llisi Is1 constructive enact the
pending bill, under which. I firmly be
lieve, an American merchant marine,
privately owned and prUately operated,
but sen lug all the prepte, and always
available te the Government In nny
emergency, may be established and
maintained.
"The recendils obstructive continue
Government operations and attending
Government losses and discourage pri
vate enterprise by Government compe
tition, under which losses are met J
the public treasury, and witness the
continued losses and deterioration until
she colossal failure ends In sheer ex
haustion. "The third Is destructive Inrehing
the Kat;rlflre of our ships abroad or the
scrapping of them at home, the surren
der of. our aspirations, and the confes
sion of our Impotence le the world In
general, and cur humiliation before the
competing world in particular.
, "A choice nineng the three Ii InevH
(able. It is unbelievable that thevAtuer
lean people or the Congress which ex
prexses their power will consent te sur
render and destruction. It Is equally
unbelievable rtmt our people and the
Congress whlclr translates their wishe-.
into action will longer Htistnin n pro
gram of obstruction nnd nttendlngles-cs
te the treasury.
Constructive Alternative Urged
"I have come te urge Ihu construc
tive alternative, te reassert en Ameri
can 'we tyjll.' I hnvc conic te, nsk you
te relieve the responsible administra
tive branch of the Government from u
program upon which failure and hope
lessness nnd staggering losses are writ
ten (or every page, nnd let us turn te
u program of assured shipping te serve
us in .war and te cive cunrantv te our
.commercial independence in pence.
"I knew' full well the hostility iu
t no popular mind te tbe word 'sub
sidy. It is stressed by the opposition
and associated with 'special piMlege'
by these who are unfailing advocates
of Government aid whenever vast num
bers are directly concerned. 'Govern
ment aid' would be a fairer term than
'subsidy' in determining what we nrc
seeking te de for our merchant mnrinn
and the interests are these of all thn
people, even though the aid gees te
the few who serve.
"If Government aid is a fair term
and I think it is te apply te
authorizations . agsrecatins $75,000,000
te prometo geed reads for market
highways, it is equally fit te be annlled
te the establishment and maintenance
of Amc t iron market highway.- en the
salted seas. If Government aid is the
Drener destination for fifteen tn feriv
millions annually expended te Improve
ana maintain inland waterways in aid
of commerce, it Is a proper designation
for a needed assistance te establish and
maintain ocean highways .where there
is actual commerce te be carried.
Challenges Insinuations
"But call it 'subsidy,' since there
are these who prefer te appeal te mis
taken prejudice rather than muke frank
nnd logical argument.
"We might ee call the annual less, of
fifty millions, which we are paying new
without pretest by these who most
nbher. we might as well call that a
'subsidy.'
"If se. T am nroDesine te cut in
half, anpreximntcly, and te the saving
thus effected there would be added mil-
liens upon millions of further savings
through ending losses en capital ac
count Government cupital. out of the
puDiic treasury, always remember and
there would be at least the nremlm
and the prospect of the permanent es
tablishment of the needed merchant
marine.
'I ehallence even insinuation nf fa.
vered Interests nnd the enrichment of
the special few at the exnense of thn
public treasury.
"i am, tirst et all, appealing te save
the treasury.
"Perhaps the unlimited bestowal of
Government aid might Justify the ap
prehension of special favoring, but the
pending mil, the nrst ever proposed
which carri.es such n prevision, auto
matically guards against enrichment or
perpetuated bestowal.
"It provides that shinning lines re-
cervine: Government aid must have thele
actual investment and their operating
expbnses audited by the Government;
that Government aid will only be paid
until the shipping enterprise earns 10
per cent en artual capital employed, and
Immediately that when mere than 10
per cent Is reaclrsd, half of the excess
earnings must be applied te the repay
ment of the Government aid which has
been previously advanced.
"Thus the possible earnings are lim
ited te a very reasonable amount if
capitul is te be risked and management
is te be attracted.
"If success attends, as we hope it
will, the Government'eutlay Is returned,
the Inspiration of opportunity te earn
remains, and Americans transportation
by sea is established.
ltellance In War
"Though differing in detail, ir Is
net mere in proportion te their popula
tion nnd capacity than ether great na
tions hnvc done in aiding the estab
lishment of their merchnnt marines, nnl
it is timely tn recall that we gave them
our commerce te aid in their upbuilding,
while) the American task new is te up
build and establish In the face of their
most active competition.
"Indeed, the American development
will have te overcome every obstacle
which may be put In our path, except
ns Intel national comity forbids.
"Concern about our policy is net lim
ited te our own domain, though the
interest abroad Is of very differing chnr
ucter. "I hope It 1 eemly te say It, because
it must be said, the maritime natlem,
of the world ure Iu complete accord
Willi the opposition here te the pending
measure. ,
"'J'liev have a perfect right te such
nn attitude.
"When we leek from their viewpoints
we can widen-tand,

viewpoint,
"Ouri. should be Hie lew point from
which one sees American carriers at
sea, the drpriideiire or American com cem
merer, and American vws'els for Amer
ican reliance in (he event of war.
"Seme of the rosily lessens of war
must lie learned again and again, but

was much tee estly te be effaced from
the memory of this or future genera,

"The allusion is made te recall that
In geed conscience Congress has created
by law conditions surrounding labor en
American ship ubleh shipping men the.
world ever declurc reshlt in higher costs
of openillen under our flag.
"I frankly rejoice if higher standards
rer labor en American ships have been
established.
"Merest Justice suggests that when
Congress ll.xes these standards, it Is
fair te extend Government aid in main
taining them until world competition Is
brought te t lie Mime high level, or until
puj- shipping lines ere no firmly estab
lished that they run fnCc world compe
tition alone.
"Having discussed In detail the policy
and previsions of the pending bill wheii

repetition new.
"In Individual exchanges of opinion
net a hw in Heuse or Senute have ex-pres-ed
personal sympathy with the
