Turkey desired the powers tr guarantee the neu- trality of a bel: tuiriy kilometres wide on eac| side of the Turco-Bulgarian and Turco-Grecian frontiers along the Ma- ritza river, brougnt no delinite decisiod by the powers.

This view is not universally put forth, and several influen- tial papers treat Mr. Child’s declaration, as fimely and welcome. The Times says the statement is of wider importance than anything yet sertled at Lausanne. It contains norew doctiine but re-affiry s old doctrine at a moment, which has been carelully chosen. This newspaper adopts the view of its Washington correspor dent that the United States fears that other Nations may forego the rights th:ey now possess in Turkey, in exchange for crmmereial considerations, and that the United States, having simitar rights, is making it clear that they do not intend to bareain away any of the capitulations, or to surrender any privileges of their Nationals in Turkey, until the Turks have estab ished a tolerable judicial sys- tem.
