KEMAL DECLARED
SUPREME IN TURKEY
DEGREES Never Questioned,
London Editor Writes.
FeZ Not Seen.
By the Associated Press.


LONDON, January 8.-For the mo-
ment Mustapha kemal Pasha is every
thing and everybody in Turkey, says j.
A. Spender, editor of the Westminster
Gazette in another of the special arti
cles he is contributing to his paper
from Turkey.
Whatever the Turks may privately
think of the westerniZation policy In
troduced by the President, Mr.. Spender
writes, nobody dreams of rejecting on
or questioning MuStapha kemals de-
crees or of doubling his greatness or
wisdom in this or any other manner.
His courage, firmness and insight are
compared daily with the weakness,
vacil!ation and blindness of the old
regime.
In citing the spread of Western
methods the editor points out that not
one fez is to be seen in Constantinople
nowadays. Hats have been imported
in bulk by every ship and every train
for months past to meet the demand
created in Kemal's decree against the
feZ
Mr.. Spender asserts that while ii
would be untrue to say that the Mos
lem religion is being prosecuted in
Turkey, it is a fact that among the
younger Turks the fashion is more and
more to speak of the MoSlem faith a
obsolete and fanatical.
