Cannot Remain Aloft From International Poli tics ; Old Order Changed. Plans Plea to People By Universal Service. Washington, May 4.— President Harding, at today’s cabinet meeting, emphasized his opinion that the United States no longer could main tain o position of aloofness from world politics. At the conclusion of the cabinet ' conference it was said that his s'ate ment of a few days ago that he does not propose to conduct ' propaganda” for the world court dpring the sum mer had been misunderstood. It was stressed that the president had no intention of eliminating this policy which was referred to ns "the big issue” in speeches he will make this summer on his western trip. As the cabinet members left the White House, world court talk be fogged the situation to the exclusion of other topics. To Lay Plan He to re People. If it ever had been intended to subordinate the nssue of Involving America in world alliances, this view has been reversed and it will be car ried before the people, it was made plain. This one distinction was brought out. It is not to he a per sonal question with the president, but with the party of which he is the head. He will advocate the court as a means of meeting obligations to the world and carrying out "campaign pledges.” It was submitted to the senate on this basis, it w-as stated, and it will go before the people in the same guise. The fact that the senate is not in session and will not be for eight months makes the situa tion "less acute” but does not change the administration's intention to keep it before the public. Old Order Changed. The president expressed the view that no chief executive could hold the office long without reaching the honest conviction that this country cannot longer “remain In its shell of isolation, but must take up Its burdpn of world affairs.” The annihilation of space and time have changed the old order of things. It was stated. The ail plane, the radio and world commerce have brought us *^<o a point where close relatione must , be established with world powers, the president believes. In expressing this view, the presi dent cited the feat of the T-’! in flying across the continent without a stop. This event, it was pointed out, brings the United States closer to'foreign neighbors than it ever before has been. German Situationlssue. It was made clear that the German situation had much to do with bring ing this semi-official pronouncement of policy. It was said that almost every day some matter is brought be fore the government Which makes it difficult to act. in view of the tradi tional attitude of not tiecoining in volved with the old world. This was taken to mean the frequent exchanges with Germany looking to a settlement to bring the French out of ih* Ruhr and the generally demoraliz ed conditiori of world commerce as a result of the occupation. Another item in moulding tli(s op inion is 'said to be an adjustment of the war debt. Certain members of the president's cabinet have insisted that this country could be better adjusted if the United States were sitting in Kuropean councils.

Drawn Into Peace Parley Row Lausanne Conference Near Break Over Question of Spe cial Guarantees to Be Ac corded Foreigners. Turks Threaten to Quit Hr Amw-lftlrd lVnl, ' Lausanne, May 4.—The United States has been dragged into a con troversy that threatens to cause the 'collapse of the second near east peacs conference. The delegates are despe rately seeking a solution of th* situ otion to prevent the rupture feared, in ' onsequence of radical difficulties be tween the Turks, the allies and th* Americans over the special legal guarantees to he accorded to foreign ers. instead of the former consular courts abolished by Turkey as part of tiie capitulations. The controversy hinges on the au thority to be granted the foreign le gal advisers Turkey agreed to em ploy. and also upon the possible ob ligations incurred hy th* allies in their feverish activities at the last ■ (inference, when the Fhench and Italians, aided by the American rep i rsentatives. intervened at the last minute in an unsuccessful attempt to prevent the collapse of the confer ence. Offeffrs io Sign Formula. Ismet Pasha again offered to sign the Italian formula which was ac cepted then, but which the allies ha\e now withdrawn, the British never having ratified It. Ismet declared dur ing the proceedings that the Ameri cans had distinctly approved the Ital ian draft. .Sir Horace Rumbold, the British high commissioner at Constantinople said the compromise had been (effected after Lord Curzon left Lausanne Therefore, it was after the close of the conference and was not binding. He read a somewhat revised version of the original demand* under which arrests, searches and seizures of for . eigners in Constantinople and Smyrna ! could be made only with th* consent of the legal advisers, but arrests else where In Turkey should simply b* \ brought to the attention of the ad | visers. Others Support Stand. Sir Horae* was supported by Gen eral Pelie, th* French hirh commis sioner at Constantinople, and others of the allies, who said It was orlv eaaonable that foreigners should ask for special guarantees for some years after th* abolition of th* capitula tion*. Ismet Pasha, head of th# Turkish delegation, accused the ailies of bad faith. He declared vigorously tha^ Turkey regarded th# elgal adviser question a* closed, and said it must refuse to discuss it again. Sir Home* Rumbold retorted that if there could not be discussion then it was Im possible to confirm* the Lausanne negotiations. The Turks said tonight that they would make no further concessions and that they would return to An gora if the allies insisted on reopen ing the adviser question. The conference broke up in great confusion without fitting a date for the text meeting The experts are continuing their work, but unless the adviser problem is compromised it Is admitted there is danger of a collapse of the conference.
