True, he is there seen in greatness,

feels himself the burning focus OF IN

BERLIN. June 29.-Chancellor Cuno
told the Rhenish Westphalian diet, at
Barmen, yesterday, that 1t was for
Germany to declare openly that her
quick and final release from foreign
oppression" was a moral duty
He expressed the hope that "the
weapon of passive resistance. will
bring us to a settlement" He gave
warning, however, that the German
people must keep "discreetly within
the realms of passive resistance" and
that they must use their only weapon,
that of spirit, against force, until a
good conclusion results"
Referring to the reparations letter
of Pope Plus. the chancellor said:

says, the weightiest goals of our pol
icy aim at justice and a willingness
for a final and just solution of the

ACCORD BY ALLIES
HITS i. S. IN TURKEY
Gives French Pre-War Con-
ceSsion Advantage Over
Chester Project.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LAUSANNE, June 29.-The issues
between the United States and the
allies on concessions in Turkey be-
came more sharply defined today
when 1t was learned that the allies
had reached an accord on a protocol
covering the concessions issue. one
clause of which the Americans object
to as a matter of principle. This
clause declares that all contracts and
accords on which before the war all
formalities had not been accomplish
ed. will nevertheless be deemed valid.
and be maintained If by common
agreement they have been partly eX-
ecuted or were the object of an ar
rangement between Turky and the
foreign government involved which
brought advantage to Turkey.
The United States, IL is asserted OBJ
jects to this provision as involving a
dangerous principle. because it might
cover all sorts of arrangements, in
cluding contracts on which nothing
had been done to obtain legaliZation.
The Americans also feel that 1t gives
pre-war contracts a better status than
they previously had.
Turkish Stand Uncertain.
The Turkish attitude on this proto-
col, which the allies plan to insert in
the peace treaty is uncertain, but
probably hinges upon the disposing of
the Ottoman debt question and evacu-
alton Of Constantinople.
The allied representatives said, in
connection with the American attI-
tude. that they considered it reces-
sary. after the long war and great
political changes in Turkey, to framo
. regulations for protection O: allied
nationals who before the war had in
vested considerable capital in enter
prises calculated to develop Turkey.
The clause which inspired the Amer
lean protest clearly covers the French
concession for the construction of the
Samsun- -Sivas railroad. which the
Turks have asserted had been nullified
because II was not legally ratified.
This concession conflicts with the
Chester project.

ARGENTINA DRY LAW
BY the Associated Press.

BUENOS AIRES, June 29.--The ex-
ecutive branch of the government is
considering semi-dry law for Ar
gentina, says La Razon. The news
paper asserts that the home tax de-
partment and national chemistry Of
flee now are engaged upon a pre-
liminary study of the question. A
bill will be submitted to congress
soon.
The newspaper says it is proposed
to establish progressive tax upon
liquors in proportion to their alco-
holic content. Thus liquors having
a high percentage of alcohol would
have to be sold at prices nearly pro-
hibitive to the general public.
