Lausanne.—Safeguarding of the legit
imate national interests of the United
States and of the principle of commer
cial opportunity for all nations was
officially set forth recently as the guid
ing rule of the American representa
tives when the Near East peace confer:
ence resumed Its labors in an endeavor
to restore-peace between the allied pow
ers and Turkey, and between Greece
and Turkey.
Joseph C. Crew, American minister,
said the United States welcomed tha
resumption of the conference. It had
reconvened on a substantial basis; an
understanding had already been reach
ed on a variety of Important subjects
and upon this firm foundation the Uni
ted States expects soon to see erected
that edifice of a just and stable pekee
for which the world was waiting with
eagerness. Of the position of the Amer-
lean representatives, he said:
“We are here for 'the same purposes
and In the same capacity as before
the adjournment, participating—in a
•full representative capacity and with
full authorization and competence to
speak on behalf of the government
of the United States.” I ‘ <
After affirming that, during the de
liberations, the United States wished to
sea legitimate national interests and
equal commercial opportunities safe
guarded. Mr. Grew declared that if
other issues arose or should amplifica»
tion of {.he American position be de
sired, the American representatives
would avail themselves of the privilege
of further statement or comment. He
concluded, “so far as may be within
our proper functions, and to the ex
tent of our power we wish to assist in
serving tho cause of peace."
No mention was made at the inaug
ural meeting with Turks of the railroad
or other concessions granted to Amer
icans or other foreigners, but the Ches
ter concession continues to be the-
great topic of private discussion.
The Turkish ’delegation through it<-
spokesman, declared that the Chester,
concession.was on.irely valid.
