The correspondent of the Chicago Tribune at Lausanne interviewed Isinet Pasha. who said:—"We fee; that the result of the conference to date is that the European delegates have acquainted, themselves with the Turkish point of view, hut the negotiations are now at an impasse on every point because they still feci that they are dealing with officials of the 'old Ottoman Empire. "We can never .wept the application oT regulations for the Straits under the control or examination of a commission. We agree that the Straits shall be open to trade, but if this is to be a pretext for the Powers to harbour designs of attacknig 1 v*rkt?\ we will never agree. We recognise the rights of minorities and accept supervision as Rumania and Yugoslavia have accepted a similar arrangement, but we cannot accept provision for the League of Nation's Ambassadors at. Constantinople to si pervise the clausos dealing with minorities. " We agree to a war indemnification if cur losses and damages are paid. We will n».-er surrender Mo.sul. We cannot allow temporary arrangements for retaining Mixed Courts even until the codification bf the Turkish civil law lias been completed. A special judicial regime is not necessary for foreigners in Turkey."
