CRITICAL TURN IN THE
NEAR EAST CONFERENCE
Lord Curzon to Send Mosul Dispute
to League Of Nations
Council.

Observation-Disclosures as Is the
general European situation at the
present moment, it suddenly took a
more menacing turn owing to critical
developments in the near eastern con
ference. Turkey refused to accept the
British proposal TO refer the Mosul
dispute to the league OF nations Tor
settlement, and Great Britain declined
to accede to Turkish counter sugges-
tions that the question be settled by
a plebiscite in the contested district.
Lord Curzon then declared that as
foreign secretary OF the British EN-
pire he would take the responsibility
of addressing a letter to the council
OF the league OF nations setting forth
that a situation had arisen which was
liable to disturb international peace
and asking that the matter be dealt
with under the covenant, which pro-
vides that the league can act when
there is war or any threat Of war in
the world, and take steps to restore
or to insure the maintenance OF peace.
An important feature OF the dra.
matte meeting was a statement read
by Ambassador Child, outlining the
position of the United States. Mr..
kChild said that the British govern
ment would hold aloof as far as pos
siblen from making concessions in
Mesopotamia, otherwise called Irak,
the subject of diplomatic interest, and
he had declared his belief in the
principle. that large factors in the
worlds resources should not become
the subject of monopolistic develop
ments.
The American representatives were
glad TO associate themselves with the
intent of Lord Curzon's remarks on
this subject; they had expressed their
governments policy, but neither the
statement nor adherence had refer
ence to any particular resource or
field of economic activity. Only those
who wiifully perverted these declara
tions had read into them meanings
which suited their w political ends
Ambassador Child continued:
THE American representatives fee
it their duty to refer to Lord Curzon's
specific mention of the validity Of the
claims of the Turkish Petroleum com
pany and to remind the conference
that, without seeking special privilege
or favor, the government Of the Unit
ed States has not assented to the
principle that ii may be ASSOCIATED in
the rights of peace from the usual
consequences of association in war
nor in other cases where another
principle is involved vii. it abandon
it's policy Of the open door.
I'VE refer to the substantial CORE
spondence our government has al
ready accumulated under two success
i've administrations in the United
States. So far as a means to furnish
protection to legitimate American in
~terests is at their hands it does not
affect the duty Of the American rep
resentatives whether the identity OF
American rights is associated with a
commercial or any other American
interest"

A MOVE is LAUNCHED TO
STAMP OUT kUkLUx KHAN
An "AiI Nations Rally" VIII &c
Held in City Of Chicago on
February &c.

Cbicayo.-An "all nations rally" TO
form the basis OF q national organiza'
ton to oppose the kuklux khan and
kindred organizations will be held at
the coliseum here, beginning Feb
'ruary 26 and containing for one week,
Patrick II. O'Donnell, chairman OF
the American Unity league,
ed. Gov. John NJ. Parker OF Louisiana,
has accepted an invitation to MAKE
the opening address at the rally on
February &c and Gov. Al Smith, OF
New York, is expected to speak, along
with other prominent speakers, Mr..
O'Donnell announced.
This is expected to mark the be-
ginning OF a national movement he
said, ito harmonic all races and
religious in the common purpose OF
breaking down the kuklux khan and
kindred organizations that undertake
to overthrow the separation OF church
and state, freedom OF conscience,
equality before the law and the free
dom of man to act"
Following the meetings here Mr.,
O'Donnell declared that similar meet
ings would be held in other principal
cities of the country, and that a ma
tioaal organization opposing what he
termed the reasonable principles" OF
the khan will result. Gov. Parker's let
ter accepting an invitation to address
the all nations rally said:
I'm my Judgment every right think
Ing man owrs a patriotic duty te
awaken the people OF this nation tC
the dangers which confront then
when any invisible empire seeks tt
Mise supreme to our laws and is en-
gagged in an earnest effort to mix
politics and religion, raise friction
and bitterness between those OF diff
ferent religions and tear down the
civilization that it has taken us
centuries to build up"
Sheds Light on Greed.
Chicago.-Kuklux klansmen have
no right to take the law into theil
own hands, Hiram Wesley Evans, i'm
perial wizard of the organization, who
also In a statement charged Gov
Parker, of Louisiana, with political o.
other motives instigating the Me-
Rouge investigation of the deaths o.
Watt Daniel and T. +. Richard, de
cIared.
Asked IL the khan would defend any
men who may be arrested or indicted
in connection with the Louisiana case
Evans said:
1T would depend entirely upon the
condition of the klansman. IL he was
unable to provide defense for himself
we would most certainly see that his
rights as a klansman were looked
after and that he got justice. We
would not use any effort anywhere
to prevent Q man from paying the
just penalty foI a crime committed"
