HARDING
ADDRESSES
CONGRESS
Intends to Invite Governors to
Conference

Washington, Dec 8.-President
Harding in addressing congress to-
day announced his intention to jn-
2yite governors to a conference
with the view Of adopting definite
policies for cooperation in enforc-
ing the prohibition law, which he
declared was unlikely to ever be
repealed. He asserted if statutory
enforcement was contrary to pub
lie opinion rigorous enforcement
would concentrate public attention
on the needed enforcement. He
proposed the adjustment of the
railroad labor board. creating a
labor division for the commerce
commission and said some step was
necessary to provide a tribunal
that could enforce decisions and
safeguard the puolc. He. urged
coordination of all transportation
facilities, railroad. water and mo-
tor trucks; more extended credits
to farmers and, registration of
aliens and strict examination OF
emigrants, and constitutional
amendments giving congress au-
thority over child labor and re-
stricting the issue. of tax exempt
securities. He said American for
eign relations were without a
threatening cloud.

REBUILD SUMTER
CAMDEN ROAD

Camden. Dec. 8.-The county
board of commissioners at their
meeting Tuesday. let a contract for
building 40 miles of sand clay
road leading from L. w. Boykin's g
land to connect with the hard sur
face road from Sumter county
soon to be built This road will be
of sand clay construction and will
cost s10.95S. the county to pay one
half the cost and the federal aid
to take care of the other half.
Thomas E. Hook of New Brook
land was awarded the contract.
Work will commence about the
first of the year.
A new bridge of creosoted timber
will be erected over Swift creek on
the same stretch of road. 1t is to
be 112 feet in length and the cost
to be s2.S00. The contract for this
work was awarded to Kershaw
county. This road. and bridge have
long been bad spot to travellers to
and from Sumter and the letting
of this contract will be good news
to parties using this roadway.
At the same meeting the board
of commissioners ordered the open
ing of the old road leading from
Camden out York street. where it
intersects with the new Bishopville
road distance of about one mile
from the city limits. This will
give travel from Bishopville two
roads into Camden. one entering
the lower section of Main street
and another the eastern end of
Dekalb street.

right Of search in case she was at
war. Lord curzon said the allies
were agreed. While the British
foreign minister said the allies be-
lieved the Sea of Marnora coulo
not de definitely excluded from the
demilitarized zone. as Ismet Pasha
desired. because the sea is a
geographical continuation Of the
straits. it was quite possible with
out interfering with the right OF
free passage for the defense of the
Sea of Marmore within certain
limits and this question doubtless
could be worked out by the experts.
Replying to Ismet Pasha's con-
tention that the demilitarized zone
was too large. Lord Curzon SAID II
might be possible to make changes
in it in the vicinity of Constant
nopie. The allies. he added. would
grant the request Of the Turks that
Turkish troops he permitted 10
cross from one side of the demiiitar
ized zone to another it they were III
transit. AS to Isnet Pasha'S srg-
gestion that Turkey must have ar
senals in the demilitarized zone
Lord Curzon declared this ques-
ton would not be difficult to settle
but that it could naturally better
be considered when the military
and naval clauses Of the treaty
were reached.

TURKEYS PLAN
CONTROL OF
DARDANELLE
Amounts to Exclusion
Of Other Nations at
Will of the Constan-
tinople Government

Lausanne, Dec. S.-Turkey today
presented counter suggestions for
control of the Dardanelles and Bos-
,phorus to the Near East peace con-
ference. They asked guarantees
against surprise attacks; limitation
of naval forces; interdiction upon
maintenance of warships in Black
sea and the free passage for nler-
.chantmen in peace and war: forti-
.fcations around Bosphorus: right
to move troops from one part of
the country to other through neu-
tral zones. After hearing Fsnaet
Pasha make the suggestions the
conference adjourned until after
noon to give the allied leaders
time to consider the proposals
Russian Foreign Minister Tchit-
cherin again insisted that the
straits be closed to all except
Turkish warships.

miers' meeting. The question is
asked, will America play some
important part behind the scenes
or openly during the conference.
So far as can be ascertained in
Paris the American ambassadors
are not in London at the sugges-
ton of the state department. but
it is believed they would not meet
just prior to the allied conference
without the consent of the Amer
ican government.
Ambassador Harvey's recent ref
erence to the premier's meeting as
the most important since the ar
nlistice also is regarded as signifi-
cant in official circles.
The participation of Premier
Mussolini of Italy adds a note of
uncertainty in the opinion of Off
Gals since he has announced he
will demand greater share of the
German indemnity for Italy.
The respite given Germany on
August 81 last expires January -,
when she is scheduled to pay 500.-
600, 600 geld marks. One thing APP
pears certain. namely. that if no
agreement is reached in London
France will never consent to fur
ther relief for Germany without
the definite guarantees already
suggested
There is the slight hope that
Chancellor Hugo SHINES may pro-
duce some satisfactory plan at the
last moment to prevent the occu-
patton of the Ruhr but no indica-
ton of such a plan has yet been

new COTTON
FUTURES Law
INTRODUCED
Con gressn1an Steven
son Introduces Bill
to Enable Buyers to
Get What They Buy

Washington, Dec. IA bill to
amend the cotton futures act to
enable buyers of contracts to de-
n,and delivery of grades Of cotton
they desire for use in manufacture
was introduced today by Represen-
tative Stevenson (Democrat) of
South Carolina. j,
The bill would divide contracts
into three classes. ga" "B," and
&c" Class, A. would include mid
ding fair. strict good middling,
good middling and strict mid
ding. Glass B would include strict
nnddling. middhng. strict low mid
ding and good middling yellow
tinged. Class c would call for
strict low middling. low middling,
strict middling yellow tinsed and
good middling yellow tinged.
UHder the bill a trader would
stipulate the class of his contract
and the grade of cotton wanted.
Delivery of one-third of the con-
tract would be required in that
grade and the remainder permitted
in the two grades next in order.
Mr.. Stevenson said passage of
the bin would tend to equalize the
price level as between the futures
market and the actual value Of the
cotton. which he said had worked
to the disadvantage of the actual
product. It also would save the
spinners and others the necessity
of an extra transaction, he added,
when delivery oethem on contracts
included cotton they could not use.

TURKS PLAN
TO EXPEL ALL
The GREEKS
Proposal Meets With
Strong Opposition
from American Rep
resentatives at the
Lausanne P e a c e
Conference

Lausanne, Dec. Z (By the ASSo-
ciated Press).-True to its tradi-
tional humanitarian policy, the
United States government took a
strong position at the Near East
err peace conference today in pro-
testing against expulsion of the
Greek population from CONSTANT
nople. Apprehensions that the
Turks would insist on depcrdng all
the Greeks from their sacred city
proved to be vel founded when
at meeting this afternoon of the
subcommission on the exchange OF
populations a Turkish representa-
tive arose and announced def
nitely that departure Of all the
Greeks was one of the features Of
their program concerning the adj
justment of populations.
The American representative
then took. the floor and read the
following statement:
The American delegation is not
in accord with the proposals for
new compulsory movements Of pop
ulations unless it is clearly shown
that good purposes will be served,
as might be the case in the ex-
change of prisoners or of popula-
tons where exchange is necessary
to serve humanitarian ends.
Without discrimination between
the parties to the negotiations for
exchange, the American delegation
lis unable to approve the movement
from Constantinople of the, Greek
population Of that city. particularly
under conditions which will send
an urban people. used to partisan
ship and commerce, to a rural dis
trict.
eve Will not hesitate to express.
in pursuance OF our legitimate hu-
manitarian interests, our protest at
any such dis1odgment of human
beings
Subsequently the representa-
tives of France. England and Italy
joined in the discussion and strong
! ly advised the. Turkish delegates
! to change their minds about send
ing the Greeks away from Con-
stan:inople; they urged the Turks
to reflect and not act harshly on
this important question. They
pointed out that Turkish insistence
on such deportation would en-
danger the entire negotiations rel
ative to the exchange of popula-
tions and prisoners of war.
The former Greek premier
iyenizeIos. declared he would not
lsign any agreement whereby his
fellow citizens would be obliged tc
leave the city where they had re-
sided for centuries and had done
lso much for the prosperity of all
He made it clear that the Greeks
would accept the exchange plans
only on condition that the Greek
residents were permitted to remain
in Constantinople.
The Greek delegation issued a
statement that the holy sees ap-
peal in behalf Of the Christians in
Constantinople was not based on
Grecian information but on OBJ
servatiens by vatican represents
tives that the Greeks were being
! mistreated.
