SCANDINAVIAN
LABOR SPURNS
SOVIET IDEAS
No Chance to Gain Favor Among
Turks, Either, Nationalist
Leader Says.

Paris, Jan. 26.-Havas. The
Scandinavian labor congress has
adopted a resolution condemning
holshevism. which was introduced
Dy Hjalmar Branting, the socialist
leader, according to a Copenhagen
G.spatch to the Echo D. Paris.
Turkey Doesn't Want 1t.
Constantinople, Jan. 24.-Bolshe-
vism has no appeal to the Turks,
bt'ng contrary to their religious
training and their patriotic senti-
ment. says Mustapha Kemal Pasha,
political and military leader of the
Turkish nationalist movement in
Asia Minor. Recently there have
been reports that the bolsheviki
have made inroads in Turkish Asia
Minor. and the Enver Pasha, min
lister of war in 1914, has sponsored
a bolsheviki uprising in Turkestan.
Mustapha kemal denied that his
adherents in the nationalist cause
were, leagued with Enver Pasha OF
with Talaat Pasha, former grand
vizier, who is reported to have
been converted to bolshevism.
Hint for Easy Terms.
"Bolshevism is against every ma
tional ideal that We CHERISH" he
said, land if a peace is made for us
that will help US to maintain our
ideals we shall rise from the ruins
which are the result of too many
wars. OF course, if the allies force
a peace on US that furthers the de-
struction Of our land, it is difficult
to predict what will happen"
