was sound basis for cooperation.

was limited conference, with precise
and limited aims and practical pro-
gram.
This Government did not seek de-
bate. but action, not mere reports and
resolutions that limitation was desir-
able and might some day be had, but
the actual limitation of naval arma-
ment. The United States, with n just
pride in It's opportunity, led the way
by proposing mutual sacrifices. and
by an exact statement of the sacrifice
it was willing to make and Of the pro-
portionate sacrifices it expected of
others.
This was the anthitesis OF any at
tempt at self-aggrandizement and this
attitude at once dissipated suspicion
and created the atmosphere Of mutual
helpfulness. The principal of the pro-
posals made by this Government was
the simple one that naval strength
was a relative matter and that the
only way to end competition was to
stop it at once by making an agree
ment based on existing relative
strength fairly estimated.
National security was safeguarded,
while injurious and provocative ri
valry was abandoned.

DENOUNCED TURK CRUEL LTY
Made Vigorous Protests Against Inhumane Acts, but
More Aggressive Attitude Would Have Been Unfit

LOWELL, Mass, Oct. 3o.-Secretary
Hughes, in a letter to Representative
John Jacob Rogers dealing with recent
statements on the Governments attitude
toward the situation of the Christian
minorities in Turkey, wrote: This Gov
ernment has taken such action as in the
rapidly shifting circumstances has been
appropriate or feasible, both In aid of
the Christian minorities and to make
clear to the Turkish authorities the
strong feeling of the people Of this
country in regard to acts of cruelty and
oppression"
After referring 10 an announcement
by his department on July 81 that the
Government had agreed to 4 proposal
for an investigation by n neutral COM
mission of conditions in Anatola, Mr..
Hughes continued:
II may so further and tell you what
has not hitherto been announced, name

at the disposal of the International Red
Cross its quota of the sum which had
been indicated as necessary to meet the
expenses of the proposed commission.

Powers under mandates, had been dis

Government had made.
These rights we asserted with the
result that the acute difference which
had developed with respect to the
island in the North Pacific having
special advantages as a cable center
was satisfactorily adjusted by
treaty with Japan relating to that
island and the other islands held by
Japan under mandate, treaty to

which has been ratified

But while we have been justly

our power, in accordance with the
genius of our institutions. to promote
peaceful settlements and International
cooperation. The difficulties, how
ever. which lie In the way of that

those who look beyond mere forms

have favored, an international court

As We are not at war with Turkey
we are not appropriately parties TO tho
peace negotiations which are about to
take place. While we have American
interests TO protect. these are not as
ISOLATED with the political ambitions
of European Powers which have made
the Near East checkerboard for

We do not propose TO connect our
selves with these rivalrles. as such
connection would only confuse our
aims with those of others and obscure
our clear and simple purposes. What
we desire does NOT involve the slight
est injury to others or derogation of
the rights of others, and we claim
the protection of American interests
at every place from whatever SOW
ereignty may be In charge.
We trust that in the interest OF
freedom of opportunity there will be
no endeavor TO parcel out spheres of
special economic influence. If we
avoid the conflicting rivalries In which
we have no proper part and hold 10
