UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Turkey must not be cut into
small pieces!"
mat is what Mustafa Kemal said,
and he acted to defend his country.
Instead Of telling the Turkish SOL
diers in Anatolia to give up their
weapons, he formed them into an
army OF his own. In a telegram to
the sultan at Constantinople, he
resigned his office in the Turkish
Army. What he really meant was
that he was, from that time onward.
free agent, the general of an
army which he would lead where
he chose!
Mustafa was declared an outlaw.
but the Turks cheered him when
their country was struck by the next
blow. An army of Greeks started to
invade Turkey!
The Greeks wanted to conquer a
large section of Turkey. They knew
the Turks were weak as result of
the World War, and hoped to win a
quick victory. Quite likely thev
would have succeeded if it had not
been for the iron will of blue-eyed
|Turk-Mustafa Kemal
With his army he met the shock
Of the Greek attack. After fierce
fighting the Greeks were driven
back. The Turks hailed Mustafa as
the savior of their land.
In 1923 peace conference was
held In Switzerland. Mainly as a
result OF the generals work, these
things were brought about:

Mustufu Saves Turkey

Their long, silken hair.
Mustafa Kemal added "Pasha" to
his name, and often has been called
by the simple name "Ataturk,"
meaning Great Turk" He was
chosen as the first president of the
Turkish republic and later was
elected time and again.
For centuries Turkish women had
been forced to wear wells over their
faces and to spend almost all their
time in their homes. Now, as a
result Of Mustafa's laws, they walk
freely about the streets of cities
and villages, with no wells. They even
wear hats Of western style"
Mustafa also ended the use of the
round red hat, or "fez," which all
Turkish men wore in past times.
He caused hundreds of new schools
to be built and added greatly to the
number Of Turks who can read and
write.

The Sultan gave up his throne and
Turkey became a republic. Anatolia
and other parts of Turkey were kept
in the country. Turkey was allowed
to hold its chief city, Constantinople,

taken away.
Mustafa changed the place of the

Constantinople to Angora. Angora

DIR. Paasikivi to Report.
Government spokesmen said Or.
Juho Kusti Paasikivi, head of the
Finnish delegation. would give a re-
port of the Moscow conferences on
his return here.
Reports circulating in the Finnish
capital said Russia was demanding
the right to establish naval bases
on Finnish islands in the Gulf of
Finland. concessions similar to those
obtained from Latvia, Lithuania and
Estonia.
A government source left little
doubt that the Soviet proposals made
in the first Moscow sessions were
more sweeping in their present form
than the Firms were prepared to
accept.
The temporary termination of the
talks coincided with increased
activity among Finland's reservists,
strengthening of the government by
cabinet changes and a stiffened front
among the Northern European
nations.
Helsingin Sanomat, Errko's news
paper, said in an editorial that
Sweden should have taken the initia-
tive in calling together such a con-
ference proves the interest which all
the rest of the northern nations
have in preventing endangering Fin
lands membership in the northern
bloc"
At least 100000 persons, one third
Of Helsinki's population, had fled
from the city last night as feverish
activities went forward in prepara-
ton for any possible national emer-
gency. A decree ordered civilians in
readiness to work directly or indi-
rectly for the national defense.
Regulations drawn up for a wartime
status were put into effect.

incidents on Border
Cloud Japan S Hope
For Breathing Spell
Boundary Negotiations
With Russians Still
Hanging Fire
By A. r. STEELE.

Chicago Daily News Foreisn Correspondent
PEIPING. Oct. l4-The Russians
are up to their old tricks again along
the Soviet et-Manchukuan frontier, ac-
cording to authoritative reports re-
layed through diplomatic channels.
The massing of Soviet troops in
the vicinity of Pogranitchnaya and
several minor outbreaks at other
points on the border are clouding
Japanese hopes for breathing spell
In the Russo-Japanese tension.
The opening of negotiations for
border demarcation as provided by
the recent Nomonhan truce is still
hanging fire. The Japanese want
Harbin as the meeting place and the
Soviets are insisting upon Manchuli,
at the Observation-Disclosures border
1t is tossup whether the Soviets are
really. desirous of reaching an agree
ment on border issues or are simply
teasing the Japanese, with the OBJ
= Ject of ultimately wrecking the par
leys.
Japanese Want Settlement.
The history of previous futile ne
gotiations offers no good promise
Whatever the Soviet view, it is OBJ
vious that the japanese want to
reach patchwork settlement which
would enable them to concentrate
their energies on their self-imposed
mission of cleaning up China. They
would like to postpone showdown
with Russia for future date.
AS evidence of their good inten-
tions the japanese have even gone
so far as to suppress their anti
Communist organ in Harbin and to
facilitate the reopening of several
Soviet consular and trade organs in
Japan and Manchukuo. The Japa-
nese do not want any more scares
such as they got in the final battle
on the Manchukuan-O Outer -Mongoli-
an border when ultramodern Rus
sian tanks, equipped with flame
throwers, proved superiority of me-
chanical equipment not superiority
OF morale, is the decisive factor of
modern warfare.
Big Job in China.
How big job the japanese army
is still facing in China is shown by
the failure of operations against
Changsha, capital of Human Prov
ince, which started with a great
blaring of trumpets but ended with
Japanese withdrawal from most of
the territory gained there. This
grand offensive" like the repeated
hOmbings Of Chungking. China S
temporary capital in Szechuan
Province, was intended to discourage
Chinese resistance and encourage
peace movement.
The actual effect was quite the
opposite. The result of this Chinese
success has been to stifyen Chung
kings determination to continue the
Sino-Japanese War.
Continued Soviet pressure on the
Manchukuan frontier has so far
made it impossible for the Japanese
to divert any large number of troops
from that area to China.

territorial concessions to establish

sistance pact similar to those with
Estonia and Latvia.
Russian Pact Recalled.
In a formal statement following
Erkko's broadcast, President Kyoesti
Kallio recalled the Finnish Russian
treaty and non-aggression pact of
1882 and an agreement concerning
t1e definition OF an aggressor in
1888 and asserted:
I'VE hope that even in the future
Russia will honor these agreements,
the principles of which she has
referred to emphatically at several
international conferences.
Russia has invited us to a con-
ference in Moscow" Kallio contin-
ued. This gives me reason to note
that our relations with that country
nave been normal on the basis of
the peace we made at Dorpat in
1920. That treaty we always have
honored.
Kallio asserted the Finnish people
were extremely grateful" for the
invitation of the Swedish King to
meet in Stockholm Wednesday "at
q time when the great European
powers are at war against each
other and when the economic devel-
opment and the relations of neutral
countries are endangered.
Gratitude for Americans.
The Foreign Minister said:
"A nations future and fate de-
pend In the end on its own will
to defend its elementary rights and
freedom against all aggression.
Il cannot refrain from availing
myself this opportunity to give an
expression OF the sincere gratitude
felt by the people of Finland to
the people of the United States
as whole and to President Roose-
welt, head of your State and your
Government. for the friendship and
moral support you have shown us
which we understand were intended
to create circumstances on the
basis of which in the present sit
uation could be found a peaceful
moderate solution"
Erkko said the Finnish people had
"taken a calm attitude toward world
events, trying to concentrate oul
efforts toward keeping our economic
rights in normal action during
the present crisis"
He said Finland had taken pre-
cautionary measures only because
we wish to feel We have at least
that security which we ourselves
can provide under the present diff
cult conditions"

elons, the Foreign Minister asserted
the Soviet had suggested the con.
