- Issnet Pazha, head of the Turkish deie- gation, dashed the hopes of the near eagtern conference for a speedy and satisfactory settlement for the protec- tion of minorities in Turkey when, in an address at this afternoon's session; he insisted upon an exchahge of the Greek popuIaGons in Anatolia, for the Turks in Macedonia. -. --. He demanded exclusion of all foreign interference in Turkey, which he. said would protect the remaining Ininorities, as the Turks had always been. able to get along with other nationals, when they kept out of politics and were not stirred up by outside influences.
 Hsmet declared that Turkey would not accept Lord Curzon's proposal to have the league of nations administer the af- fairE of the minorities, as that would mean that the foreign powers would continue their interference in Turkish aftatEs and encourage the minortties sr anpeal to the league Of nations. This plan. he asserted, would result in tho exploitation of minorities for political ends under the Tying cloak of humani- tariAniEm.'
 The Turkish chief delegate reviewed tho entire history o6 Turkey from the time of the conquest of CDnstantinople The Turks, he said, had lived peace fully with the Greeks and Armenians until a hundred years ago, when the Rnssians began agitaAtng against the Mohammedans under the pretense that RuEHia was the protector Of Orthodox Cilrtstians in Turkey. rF

 Lord Curson replied inss sspirited manner to Isnet. saying 1t was the Afst time che conference had seen the Turk tsh delegate as hktorian, and, had always thought of him before as q sol- Eler and diplomat. The British secre- tHry for 6oreign affairs. said the con fererce was dealing with the affairs e peopies in the greatest distress and mutt find a solution for the problem of .H-r EArd for ancient history and must trade -a treaty which would protest thsse unhappy people.
 He called attention to the fact that Ismet Pasha had not mentioned ,the-al- lied plans for solving the dffSculties af tbe minorities in Turkey, but had de- voted himself to history and an at4acl, on the league of nations, which might be usefui to Turkey. In emphatie tones be denounced Ismet's demand that there be a forced exchange of Turkisl. and Greek populations and declared shat the minorities muat remain in both countries. =.
