Entente May Be Endangered
When W. S. Makes Formal
“Open Door” Demand
in Near East Parley.
By GEORGE F. Al'THIER.
Staff Correspondent The Omaha Bee.
Washington, April 6.—Renewal of
the near east conference to establish
the status of Turkey threatens a
struggle between the United States
and Great Britain for commercial su
premacy in the near east and far
east, according to information reach
ing Washington dally.
The concession granted Rear Ad
miral Colby M. Chester, U. S. N., re
tired, is but one of the many features
governing the diplomatic struggle
which has been going on behind clos
ed doors for some time, but which is
expected to come out in tho open
when Richard Washburn Child re
sumes his anomalous position of “ob
server” when the Lausanne confer
ence Is reconvened.
Commercial domination in Persia,
control by the nationals of one coun
try or the other of the Bagdad rail
road and its extension beyond Persia
into western China, with a rich prize
of control of invaluable oil conces
sions, are part of the struggle mani
festing itself from time to time In ir
ritating collisions between the two
governments.
Entente in Banger.
It Is an open secret in Washington
that the attitude taken by the Brit
ish government on extraneous mat-1
ters, like the gun elevation question. |
the" Burma oil documents, the .Yew- ;
castle consular incident and others,
Is annoying to government i is
here and threatens to disturb the
growing Anglo-American entente,
which has long been a goal of some
British and American statesmen.
Lord Curzon, British minister for
foreign affairs, Is the leading
figure in the effort to bar American
participation in the development of
the near east. Thero is & growing
question mark in Washington wheth
er or not the British foreign office
is not trying to build a backfire which
will Increase Us prestige with the
Knglish peoplte when the showdown
comes on the ne4r eastern question.
“Open Door" lT. S. Demand.
Information obtainable bere indi
cates that popular opinion In Great
Britain does not support the position
which Lord Curzon took at the Lau
sanne conference calling for recog
nition of the concession of the Turk
ish-Petroleum company to_the Mosul
oil fields and for inclusion of the
vilayet of Mosul in the British-built
Arabian kingdom of Irak, over which
King Feisal rules.
The position which Ambassador
Child will be instructed to support at
the new conference will be mainte
nance of the American doctrine of the
"open door” everywhere on an equal
basis. The American government
holds that elimination of the "sphere
of influence” in China was but apart
of n general movement to throw this
international evil into the discard
everywhere.
In supporting the concession
granted Admiral Chester, the Cnlted
States takes the position that its na
tionals have the right of participa
tion in development of that portion of
the world, regardless of mandated sec
tions or of political interest.
('heftier Concession Aim.
Hark of the struggle which will cen
ter around the Chester concession is
the quiet support which the United
States is credited with having given
Persia in freeing itself from the at
tempted British control which fol
lowed the war. A previous attempt
to inject American influence in this
part of the world, made when W.
Morgan Shuster became financial ad
viser to the shah, was frustrated by
the combined efforts of Great Britain
and Russia. The Persian desire to
secure American guidance has finally
been accomplished in the presence of
i.n American financial mission, which
is now preparing a new fiscal system
for the Persidhs.
Admiral Chester explains that his
concession to build a network of rail
roads in Turkey in Asia will make
possible the completion of the line to
Bagdad and that the Persians are
pilanning to extend the line eastward
lY. the direction of China. The Ameri
can admiral points out th's would give
access to the back door of China via
the Atlantic, the Mediterranean and
the rail connection which would fur
nish cheaper transportation than is
now obtained via the Pacific, plus the
rail transportation into the interior
of China.
•la-pan and France Watching.
. The injection of American influence
into this section of the world between
Constantinople and India is recog
nized as detrimental to the plans of
the British imperialists who have
long desired to dominate middle Asia
as a means of securing their position
in India.
The flank attack on the Chinese
markets Is regarded askance by. the
Japanese, who have relied upon their
geographical propinquity to aid them
in dominating the Chinese mat hcls
French opposition also is manifesting
itself to the American invasion, be
cause of the interests which France
hopes to develop because of its posi
tion in Syria.
In directing the activities of Am
bassador Child at the new near east
ern conference. Secretary of State
Hughes will be guided by the prin
ciples of the "open door" and count
"commercial opportunity" evolved nt
the Washington arms conference but
on an entirely new stage, and one
which is expected to result in a de
mand for a declaration of the Euro
pean attitude relative to this policy.
Turkish Approval Awaited.
Anticipated action by the Turkish
parliament approving the Chester
concession is eagerly awaited and is
Understood to be witheld pending the
election of a new parliament in Tur
key In place of the one Kemal Pasha
is reported to have dissolved.
As soon as this approval is obtain
ed. Admiral Chester says. Admiral
Rousseau, who was one of the chief
engineers In digging the Panama ca
nal, and possibly Cleneral Goethals,
will leave at once for Turkey to be
gin operations on the huge projects
which they have in mind.
The Illimitable opportunities which
this undeveloped sv ttlo'n of tho world
has in the way of furnishing new
foreign markets for American goods
In place of the ones lost because of
the lack of stabilization in Europe is
not being lost sight of by the admin
istration. This opportunity, it is ex
pected, would do much to assure tho
upward trend of American business
and prove a solvent for many do
mestic difflcul'les.

I bar the Sinclair Oil company from
; Persia by the Anglo-Persian company,
| a British concern, indicates the axis
j tence of great oil fields in that coun
try. f
The fact that Americans are barred
from the British-controlled oil fields
in India and by the liutch In their
Bast Indies gives added value to the
struggle to get in on Asiatic fields
not yet cornered by foreign govern
ments.
Omaha to Save Big Sum
by Freight Rate Orders
Omaha shippers will save thou
sands of dollars a ^ear, it is esti
mated, as a result of freight rate
victories announced by the Interstate
Commerce commission and marie pub
lic 6/ C. E. Childe, manager of
tlie traffic bureau of the Chamber of
Commerce. f
Keduced class freight rates from
Kansas City and St. Joseph to Ne
braska points will not be permitted
without corresponding reductions
from Omaha. uni!er the commission's
ruling. This affects all jobbers in
Omaha and means a saving of from
4 to 25 cents a hundred pounds, ac
cording to Mr. Childe.
Another saving to Omaha shippers,
particularly firms dealing in dairy
products, and which probably will
run between *$50,000 and $100,000 a
year is a reduction on such products
to points east of the IIlinois-lnAma
line.
Woman Says Men
•>
Better Dressers
Expert Declares Masculine
Taste in Personal Attire
Shows Higher Development.
Are men better dressed than
women? Miss Evelyn Hansen, wide
ly known authority on good taste Jjncl
art In dress and home, contends that
fhe average husband is the glass of
fashion and the mold of form by com
parison with his overdressed wife.
She demonstrates this, too, tn the
course of her lectures on good taste
In dress. '
One of the proofs is tiie lining of
a man's coat.
“When, oh. .when," says Miss Han
sen, "will women become sensible and
imitate their husbands in such mat
ters? Is there anything more beauti
ful than the quiet, dark lining of
men's coats? Any silk manufacturer
will tell you that the most expensive
silks that are woven are the ones
that arc made for the purpose of lin
ing men’* coats. Yet 90 per cent of
the average women would think they
were out of style If the linings of
their fur coats did not resemble old
fashioned wallpaper.
“It is this eagerness to/be in style
that keeps them badly dressed. In
stead of asking themselves. ‘Is this
what everyone is wearing?' they
should ask: 'Is this the style for
me?' ’’
“In buying clothes, decide on what
