British Statesman Says Worlds
IA Million Jews Have
Bravely Endured
Persecution.
Holy L a n d Is Refuge
BY DAVID LLOYD GEORGE.

London, July 14-Of all the bi
gotries that savage the human temper
there is none so stupid as the antise.
metic. II has no basis in reason, il
fs not rooted in faith, It aspires to
no IDEAL, it is just one of those dank
and unwholesome weeds that grow
in the morass OF racial hatred.
How utterly devoid Of reason II is
may be gathered from the fact that
IL is almost confined TO nations who
worship the Jewish prophets and
apostles and revere the national liter
ature Of the Hebrews as the only in
spired message delivered by the Deity
to mankind. and whose only hope OF
salvation rests on the precepts and
promises of the great teachers of
Judaism.
Still, in the sight of these fanatics.
Jews Of today can do nothing right.
II they are rich they are birds Of
prey. II they are poor they are YER
min. II they are in favor Of a war,
that is because they want 10 exploit
the bloody feuds Of Gentiles to their
own profit. II they are anxious for
peace they are either instructive cow
ards or traitors. II they give gener-
ously. and there are no more liberal
givers than the Jews, they are doing
it for some selfish purpose Of their
own. II they don't give. then what
would one expect Of Jew?
If labor is oppressed by great capi-
tai, the greed Of the jew is held re-
sponsible. II labor revolts against
eapital-as IL did in Russia-the jew
is blamed for that also. II he lives
in a strange land he must be perse-
euted and pogrommed out Of II. II
he wants to go back to his own he
must be prevented. Through the cen
turtles. in every land. whatever he
does or intends or fails 70 do. he has
been pursued by the echo OF the hru-
tai cry Of the rabble of Jerusalem
against the greatest OF all Jews

that cracifed Jews. II Is poor and
pusillanimous sport, lacking all true

Peace Meeting
at Lausanne Runs
Up Against Snag
Turkish Delegate Holds Allies
Demand for Preferential
Rights Blow at Open
Door Policy.

Lausanne, July 1.-THE allies de
mand for preferential rights for their
companies in future contracts made
with Turkey constitutes a blow al
the principle OF the open door. DR.
Ria Nour Bey, of the Turkish dele
cation. declared today in discussing
the present deadlock in the near
east peace conference where each
side is waiting for the other to move
first.
DIR. Ria Nour said Turkey de.
sired TO be uMettered economically
and that It looked upon the allied de.
mand as threatening it's economic de
yelopment. 1t also believed any pref.
erential system might incidentally be
harmful to the concessions held by
the American synicate headed by
Rear Admiral Chester.
The clause in the draft treaty
granting preferential rights. he in.
sisted, had been added by the allied
experts after the accord in principle
was reached last Monday. He added
that THE concession to the Turkish
Petroleum company. which the
British were seeking to uphold. had
been given merely in the form Of a
letter by the grand yizier to the
British ambassador before the war.
and that its validity was in dispute.
The Turkish delegation had pro-
posed to submit the question to arbi-
tration, preferably by the permanent
court court Of international justice,
but the allies had declined.
As for the difficulty over the with.
drawal of the allied warsmps from
Turkish waters, the Turkish delegate
said:
I'VE reached an accord in principle
on evacuation. but to our consterna-
ton learned later that the allies did
not intend to apply IL to the war
ships, which. with the armies and air
planes. certainly are an element in
the occupation of Turkish territory.
The allies demand for each to main
tain two warships in the straights is
unacceptable. We want the regime
established by the straits conven.
tion to become operative after gen
eral evacuation"

Price of Milk
Takes Rise of
Cent a Quart
Hot Weather Cuts Down Sup
ply, Explanation Given by
Diaries Operating in
Omaha.

Milk has been advanced l cent q
quart in Omaha. according to an
nouncement yesterday by dealers.
The general explanation is that al
this time OF year. when the supply Is
at low ebb and the demand large
the farmers demand a higher price
J. r. Roberts of the Roberts SAM
tary Dairy stated that the price oi
milk is out of proportion to the prices
Of other commodities.
Wages Increased.
"The farmer is not being paid much
more for his milk than he received
before the war and We know that
nearly everything has been ad
vanced." Mr.. Roberts said. 1T is my
opinion that the farmer is going to oe
paid more for milk. We are paying
for wages twice what we paid before
the war. And at this time of the year
the law of supply and demand oper
ates to increase the price Of milk"
The Atlantic Dairy company stated
that they have discontinued the sale
OF their 11-cent milk, which they
claim was of an inferior quality tc
meet competition, and are now selling
their lowest price milk at IL cents and
of a quality superior to the milk that
has been sold at IL cents.
No Explanation.
The Roberts company advised Gus
toners of an increase from II to Il
cents per quart without any qualify
ing explanation as to difference In
quality.
