vehemently denounced the doctrine
of superiority Of the white race
over the colored and advocated
that meetings be held all over the

TURKISH OFFICIAL
DENIES REPORTS
However, Reports of Armen-
ian Massacres Continue to
Come

Constantinoplc, March 1S.-Al-
legations that Armenians in Ana
tolia are being prosecuted by Turk
ish Nationalists We're denied an
interview given by Yussuf kemal
Bey, Nationalist Minister Of For
eign Affairs, to a number Of
Armenian press representatives
here before he left for Paris TO A.
tend the conference on the revision
OF the treaty OF Sevres.
The situation OF ARM. ians IN
Anatolia is quite satisfactory, y
Yussuf told his hearers. There
have never been any dep ortations
OF +Arnlenians like those carried out
by the Cnionists, when deportees
were massacred en- route. The
Christian population in the mill
tary zone was simply removed to
the interior to prevent them from
going over 10 the Greek army. Now
the deporteeS are all back in their
homes wherever there is no further
danger Of an enemy invasion.
Yussuf further said that there
had been no boycott OF Armenian
products. in proof Of which he
pointed out that he was wearing
suit Of clothes made by an Ar
menian tailor He also denied that
any property or lands belonging TO
Armenians had been divided
among Turks or Kurds.
He added that the Ansora gov
ernment had just promulgated a
law whereby Armenian officials
would in future be appointed in
localities inhabited chiefly by AR
menianS.
He concluded by saying that the
exodus of Armenians from Cilicia
! was unreasonable" and that the
Kemalist government would hold
the property belonging to emf
grants in trust for one year.
