The American and Turkish experts reached an agreement agree-ment Saturday whereby the United States receives the most favored nation's na-tion's treatment concerning the freedom free-dom of the straits for merchantmen and warships. The United States without signing the straits convention will receive all privileges. Also it will be restricted by all limitations imposed by that convention, conven-tion, which gives each signatory power the right to maintain three warships, not exceeding 10,000 tons each, in the straits. There is a substituting sub-stituting privilege, that each power may have as many ships as there are possessed by any country bordering border-ing on the Black sea. This, of course includes Russia, which has decided to adhere to the straits treaty. The clause in the Turco-Amorican treaty covering these questions does not go into details of the regulations code set forth in the straits convention but refers to them in blanket form. |
