ISMBT PASHA INTERVIEWED CONFERENCE RESULTS TO DATE. IMPASSE IN NEGOTIATIONS. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyrignt NEW YORK, December 25. r (Received Dec. 26, at 9.30 p.m.) the Chicago Tribune’s Lausanne correspondent interviewed Isract Pasha, who said • , “We feel that the result of the Conference to date is that the European delegates have acquainted themselves witli the Turkish point of view, but the negotiations have now reached an impasse in regard to every point, because they still feel they are (fealing with officials of the old Ottoman Empire. We can never accept the application of the Straits regulations under the control of or examination by a commission. We agree that the Straits shall be open to trade, but if this is a nrctext for tha Powers harbouring designs to attack Tnr key we shall never agree. We recog nise the rights of the Minorities, and accept the proposal for supervision. Rumania and Jugo-Slavia accepted, but w.o cannot accept the provision for the League of Nations at Constantinople to supervise the clauses dealing with the Minorities. We agree to war indemnification if our losses and damages are paid. Wo shall never surrender Mosul. We cannot allow temporary arrangements by mixed courts, even until the codification of the Turkish civil law has been completed. A special judicial regime is unnecessary for foreigners.”—A. and N.Z. Cable.
