injurious to Japanese interest but that
state has been acting within her con-
stitution and also that of the United

to Baron Yoshiro Sakatani, who after
referring to growing tendency in
other Pacific coast states to follow the
example of California, asked if the
Japanese government was doing any
thing to counteract this movement.
He also inquired if there were pros
poets that the accord being negotiated

NJ. Uchida said an agreement of a
nature advantageous to Japan was be-

was doubtful whether definite steps

Chamber of Commerce
Saus Business Outlook Mending

las states, that prices in some lines
have not reached bottom.
Mr.. Douglas believes that despite
present conservatism there is a gen.
eral feeling that in March or April dis
tinctly better conditions will be mani
fest, although in sections of the cot
ton belt the improvement is not ex-
pected before June. Considerable inl-
provement has already been noted in
the Kentucky tobacco district where
increased sales are reported.
Expect Revival.
What business people generally are
looking forward to, Mr.. Douglas re-
ports, is revival of purchasing. They
feel, he states, that when the Ameri-
can public begins buying again they
can satisfactorily handle the problems
Of labor, material transportation and
prices.
Once buying starts again In sub
stantial volume the business interests
believe, according to Mr.. Douglas in
formation, that the whole tangled
skein of business difficulties will be-
gin to unravel itself.

TURKISH DELEGATES
AGREED; TO ACCEPT
DECISIONS OF; ALLIES
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, Feb. 24.-Rechad Pasha,
delegate of the Constantinople gov
ernment to the near east conference,
here. speaking in the name of both
his group and that of the Nationalists
told the allied conferees at today's
session that both factions of the Turks
would accept the decisions of the
allies
The two Turkish parties were re-
ported last evening to be in confer
ence and preparing a statement for
presentation at todays ses Jon. 1t
was assumed this statement would
follow closely the lines laid down dur
ing yesterdays brief sitting of the
conference. and it was believed it
you'd be more detailed.
Turks to Object.
After Yesterdays maneuvring for
position by the two Turkish .delega-
to prove quite important. 1t was fore.
cast the Turkish statement would be
divided into three parts, the first OBJ
jecting to the territorial clauses of the
Sevres treaty applying to Thrace
Smyrna and the Straits. the second re-
ferring to the political tutelage under
which Turkey was placed. and the
third the economic control exercises
by the allies under the provisions OF
the Sevre convention.
Turkish representatives have ex
planned they were unaware that de
tailed statement was expected or II
would have been forthcoming at the
initial meeting of the conference. This
statement is described by the LOndor
Times as "a sample of Oriental pro
crastination," the newspaper headings
its account of yesterdays proceedings
with the caption: Absurd demands
a wasted day"
Some Favor Is Seen.
French and Italian circles, on the
other hand seemed inclined to com
ment favorably on the Turkish pro
posals as presented yesterday and tt
compare them with the uncompromis
ing attitude taken by the Greeks. The
Turkish demand that the sovereignty
of that city over the Straits should
remain unaffected, however caused
considerable surprise.
The Chronicle today adjured France
mot to be so short sighted as to &C
cede to the demand for resigning Gus
tody to the Dardanelles once more tt
the Turks since the results of th1:
policy were shown during the war.
Solemn warning was given by the
London Times to the Turks agalns
making eXtravagant demands Whlcf
will not be entertained"

WEEK
OF Sc HOURS
FOR WOMEN
Senate Looks With Approval
on Limited Resolution Linn
iting Periods of Service
County Officials Passed.
ADOPT AMENDMENTS

INDIANAPOLIS. Feb. 24-Senate
action favoring the establishment of
a 56-hour work week for woman and
the house adoption of 10 proposed
amendments to the state constitution
featured today's session of the state
legislature.
The senate's action came unexpect-
edly but there was little opposition
and no record vote on Senator Van
Orman's motion increasing the work
week to Sc hours. instead of being linn
tied to so hours as proposed by the
bill of Senator Rats which had the
approval of Governor McCray.
Final action ON the Rats bill, how
ever, went over until later after the
senate also had adopted several other
less important amendments. The
house action on the constitutional
changes follows similar action by the
senate and the amendments will be
submitted to the voters probably at a
special election to be held this spring.
Oppose Limitation.
The only concerted house opposition
TO any of the resolutions handed down
today developed against joint senate
resolution No. II. which provides that
certain county officials shall be elect
not then be reelected to succeed
themselves. The resolution would af-
feet clerks of circuit courts, auditors,
recorders, sheriffs, and coroners. 1t
was adopted So to 25.
Resolution No. 10 placing the same
limitation on periods of service of
state officials and another affecting
prosecuting attorneys were passed.
Attack Reapportionments.
Democratic members attacked the
proposed amendment in Resolution
, No. 7. which provides for legislative
apportionment every six years on a
basis of the vote cast for secretary of
state, instead of on a basis of popula-
ton as enumerated by trustees.
Another of the proposed amend
ments adopted provides that men OF
all colors may served in the Indiana
national guard. The present law re.
stricts the organization to white men.

PALLADIUM NEWS BUREAU


WASHINGTON. Feb. "a After a.
period of silence the United States
Chamber of Commerce announces,
through the chairman of it's commit
tee on statistics and standards. Archer
w. Douglas, that business in the Unit
ed States is on the mend. Mr.. Doug
las review of business conditions has
just made its appearance.
Basing his judgment largely upon
reports brought in by travelling sales
men who have been in all sections of
the country, Mr.. Douglas expects dur
ing the spring, not sharp return to
the extreme business activity of last
spring, but "a slow and natural work
ing out Of those processes Of liquida-
ton which are now in full operation" +"
Volume Increases.
There is at this time, he says, not
only better spirit among the business
people but an actual increase in the
volume of business.
Despite the general story" the re-.
port reads, "of farmers withholding
their products, there is steady
stream of grain and livestock coming
to market, not in full volume, but
enough to assist in alleviating the
situation"
Mr.. Douglas advises that shipments
from California and the south are run
ming heavily, some 10000 cars per
week thus distributing much needed
cash among the growers.
Still Cautious.
The report states that the merch-
ants are still somewhat cautious in
buying and that most orders are re-
stricted to immediate wants. The the
ory is advanced that few merchants
are taking stock in current prophesies
of the return of prosperity at given
date, because 1t is obvious, Mr. Doug
