NTANGLEMENTS
ARE AVOIDED

The people of the United States
have Just witnessed one more demon
stration of the wisdom of their lead
ers in international diplomacy. By
keeping its head and proceeding in a
careful and dignified manner, the
Harding administration avoided SER
ious entanglements in the quarrels
of the Near East.
Less than a year ago the Turks
turned on the Greek army in Asia
Minor, threw it out of the country,
and captured Smyrna. The civilian
Greeks in the Near East found them
selves in such a plight that the Unit
ed States was urged to send ships
and soldiers to hold the Turks in
check. The alleged horrible condi-
ton of so-called christian minori-
ties" became the theme of interna-
tionalists, pacifists, and ill-advised
but well meaning ministers of the
gospel, and petitions poured in on
President Ha,d ding, demanding that
he use &N the power Of the United
States to turn back the terrible Turk
and ave the Door christians" from
his clutches. To his everlasting cred
it be it said Mr.. Harding refused to
rush into war at the behest of some
of u h~ysterical citizens. A number
of warships were dispatched to the
Near East to maintain American
rights, but there was no deviation
from the American policy of no for
eign entanglements.
Subsequent events have proved the
wisdom of the presidents course. A
treaty has been signed between Tur-
key on the one hand and Great Brit
ain, France, Italy, Japan, Roumania
and Greece on the other, which estab-
fishes peace in the Near East. Its
terms reveal the complete unconceni
of those countries for the Christian
minorities," that is, the Greeks il
Turkey. They are to be removed
foreibly if need be, from their homes
and returned to Greece. Europe ha:
little sympathy for those people now
: and had little last year when thu
l Turkish army was pressing them
The real object of all tn eagitatiol
for the United States to rescue then
was to draw this country into tn,
European maelstrom. NumerOu
other schemes had failed, but if W
could be induced to send an army an
r navy against the Turks, for the pur
pose of aiding the Christians in Ash
Minor, we would not only pull som
British, French and Grecian chestnut
out of the fire, but would become in
extricably involved in old world di
n plomacy and would be called upon t
bear further and greater burdens.
President Harding sensed the stu
alton accurately, and it is due to hi
judgment and foresight that billion
have not been added to the nations
debt, and thousands of lives sacrificed
The United States has been kept FIRE
from being a party to the recer
n treaty concluded at Lausanne, wit
all the obligations it entails upon il
signers.
g The United States owes a debt
Warren G. Harding in this matte
which it can never repay.

WOULD MAKE NATIONAL
PLAYGROUND AT OURAY

A concerted move is on foot by var
ious Elk lodges of the slope to have
portion of land near Ouray in the
San Juan range, set aside and desig-
mated National Game Reserve.
The object of this move is to care
for the specie elk and other wild
game, and for the creation of a
great playground and reserve for the
membership of Elks' lodges, as well
as their families.
The territory selected IS slightly
larger than the Ouray Game Preserve
established in the last legislature, and
it is said, will amply accommodate
1000 elk without interfering with ex-
listing stock interests.
This feature of the plan will be un-
der the q. S. Forest Service, and as
Mr.. T. J. Watkins of this city is
member of that large organization, as
well as a Ouray Elk, he will keep in
