Show HOLD ACCEPTANCE OF TURKISH AMBASSADOR WASHINGTON, Dec. 18. American relations re-lations with Turkey are so unsettled, it became known today, that the state department de-partment does not plan to take any action ac-tion toward the confirmation of Euad Bey, named by Turkey as ambassador, until that country gives consideration to American representations and interests. Refusal of the Turks to allow nearly 200 Americans and naturalized Americans to leave Turkey at Jaffa, the conduct of the Turkish authorities in their treatment of the Armenians and Syrians, and the abrupt ab-rupt termination of the capitulations or extraterritorial agreements have created a situation which is postponing action by the department in the confirmation of the new ambassador. Diplomatic exchanges have brought promises of relief which in almost every case have turned out to be of no effect because of the helplessness of the foreign office before the military element. |
