As to Anthracite Facts

To the Editor Of The Tribune.

J. Golden. president United Mine
Workers. Anthracite District No. ., ap-

Mr. Golden made certain statements
which are. IN the article. summarized
as follows:
81. Steam size anthracite costing II

$50 . ton"
The facts are that steam size an

The Turkish Minorities

Much dust was stirred up at Lsu-
same over the rights Of minorities
in Turkey. Among the powers stir
ring Il up were some which at the
Paris peace conference declined 70
give guarantees Of this sort while
imposing them on other powers.
Turkey has never been unwilling
70 recognize the rights Of religious
and racial minorities. The policy Of
her earlier Sultans in this respect
was far more liberal than that prse-
ticed in the rest Of Europe. The
Angora Nationalist government is
doubly pledged 70 DO what its
representatives at Lausanne were
reported as refusing TO do. The
Angora pact drawn up at Sivas on
September 1s, 1919. and ratified by
the lower house Of the Turkish
Parliament on January %, 1920,
contains this article:
article v-The rights Of minori-
ties will be confirmed by US on the
same basis az is established in other
countries BY conventions hitherto
concluded between the powers Of the
Entente. their advertaries and GER
tain Of their associates. AZ the zane
time We hold the firm conviction that
the MoSlem minorities Of other eoun.
tries shall benefit from similar
guarantees"
The Nationalist Turks thus agreed
long ago 10 accept the same minority
codes that had been forced at Paris
on Austria. Hungary and Bulgaria,
and, In addition, on Poland, Czecho-
SlovalCia, Jugo-Slavis, Greece and
Rumania. They renewed their
promise at the Mudania conference.
In 1919 Lloyd George, Wilson, Gle
menceau and Orlando would not
consent to put their countries on a
parity with the minor Allies in this
respect, holding that such a grant
Of privileges 70 racial and religious
minorities would lower the dignity
Of the major states.
The real question at Lausanne
was, therefore, whether Turkey
should be grouped with the unre.
strained greater states or with the
restrained minor states. But Turkey
was perfectly satisfied 10 travel in
the latter company.
