Young of North Dakota has again declared his be- lief that farmers must limit their acreage to a point where the market ; will absorb their products. ‘He op- poses the growing of a surplus for exportation because he claims the price obtained for what is sold in the United States.

The friendly intervention of th American ambassador at the right moment has convinced the Turks of the immense strength of world opiu- ion-—particularly that of the United States—on the need for a settlement of the minority problem. Ismet said Turkey was ready to accord the same treatment to mino- rities as provided in the treaties ex- changed between the various Europ- ean countries. This, Ismet declared, was not be- cause of the menacing words of Lord Curzon, the British foreign secretary, as voiced yesterday, but because the Turkish national act re- uired it. The Turkish delegate said Turkey ted the granting of general y te political prisoners. She would decline, however, to establish a national home.for the Armenians. | Turkey said Ismet, likewise agreed in principle to the plan for her secking admittance to the League of Nations. .
