FRENCH REPRISAL | INLEVANT POLICY Failure to Back British Blow | for Reparations Action, Say Tardieu. HOPE IN U. S. ELECTIONS Finds Comfort in Voters’ Apparent Displeasure at Govern- ment’s Policy. BY ANDRE TARDIEU, Former French High Commissioner to the United States. Special Cable Dispatch to The Star. PARIS, November 11.—It is not my fault that T am compelled to repeat for the third time that internal poli- tics everywhere are taking prece- dence over external. This week it Is the American electlons following on the heels of Lloyd George's fall and the facistit triumphs which accent- uated French political unrest. You dom't ask me to cable you every week about American affairs. Moreover, [ myself, know you too well not to realize that even the friendly foreigner Who criticizes American internal matters risks Seeming to be indiscreet. People Want Something New. Therefore I will confine myself to noting the general effect produced here by your elections, namely, that with you as with us, rightly or wrong- 1y there is a s‘rong current of opinion against the government policies pur- sued since the peace. And, returning in this connection to European mat- ters, I may say that vour election lanndstide, Which renews the personnel of your houses and the fate of many governorships, canit help encouraging those who, like myself, want a change here The people want something new everywhere. What? Will it be bet- ter than the old? but I will suggest that what has happened in England, Italy and the United tes will hasten the French ministerial crisis which I have been predicting for several weeks. An Eye for an Eye. ‘Will you excuse me also mention- ing my predictlons concerning the orfental crt They have unfortu- nately been confirmed. I showed how France and Italy on the banks of the Dardanelles had applied toward Eng- land the law of an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Abandoned by the British on the western question of we abandoned them ‘on eastern problem. I that these policies are )t 1 perilous. In both cases no- body could Dbenefit but yesterday's cnemies, the Germans and the Turks. and the only one general result would be the breakdown of justice and the loss of the fruits of victory. Turks Raised Vell Just as the successive conferences encouraged the Germans to organize their own bankruptcy, so the allied differences at Chanak and their weak- nesses at Mudania incited the Turks to raise the veil and unmask their real purposes. Today the Turkish peril is at our gates. The abrogatior of the capitu- lations protecting foreigners, the raid on the banks, the forbidding of teach- tng of French, increasing of tariffs which had been twice repealed, the demand for the evacuation of Con- stantinople, imposition of the _er- sonal tax on Christians. Increasing violations of the neutral zone at Mudania, dismissal of employes con- nected with the Ottoman debt closing and mob rule at Constantinople, all are fruits of the confidence given to Mustapha Kemal Pasha by his im- Srudent friends. Demands Reunite Allfes. Of course I realize that the excessive demands of the Turks have reunited the allies, but it is rather late, for Tur- ish cannon are being gradually intro- duced into the neutral zone and now command the Ottoman capital. French ouinion, after belng misled into support of the government. now wonders where this is leading. In October the cham- ber gave a cold reception to Deputy S~ulier, who drew attention to these dangers, but only two weeks later opinion of Wednesday hap- helps toward the Franco-Brit- ish rapprochement, but there must bea complete understanding on all points. All will sit at the table at Lausanne without advance preparation. It will then be seen that Hughes’ demand for guarantees in favor of Christians ‘n “urkey was absoutely necessary. Unfortunately for us, the Angora agreement of September, 1911, puts our Byrian mandate entirely at the mercy of the Kemalists. We, therefore, will tions faced with a difficult, perhap. & dramatic dilemma.

Bpecial Cable Dispatch to The Star. VEVEY, Switserland, November 11. +—George Washington’s immortal sout must rejoice as his dearest chilc, de- mocracy, is marching triumplantly throughout the world. A distant November tumbled from his throne the white czar, god of all in another November two central European kaisers fell, up- setting two dogen kings and num- berless dukes, great and small, and agaln, this November, Sultan Mehmed, padishah and caliph of all believers, follows them. China 1s a republic, Turkey soon is to be one! The dragon banner and the half-moon flag now are to fly over self-governing peoples! Could such rapid progress of demo- cratic ideals ever have been fore: een? Men and peoples no longer are linded with animosity and envy, but eem to seek and find each other fra- ernally. 5 z In Berlin the Germans and French negotiating to secure for the vic- rs their indemnity and a sati: ory economig,setilement for the van- uished. In London 2 new premier is romising to end nolsy drum-major iplomacy and follow the good ex- mple of the United States in-a . pol- cy of disinterestedness in continental ffairs. And in this same November near east peace is to be discussed and concluded at the ancient Ouchy Castle, now a hotel, in Lacleman har- bor at Lausanne. The bells of Lausanne's Gothic ca- thedral, wherein the Swiss count, Ru- dolph von Hapsburg, once swore on the cross to liberate the grave of the Savior from the power.of Islam, will I am no prophet ity, and spreading democratic pacifi- cation into Asia Minor. Turks Made Great Power. But what does it all mean? ‘Anomer crusade has ended in making !the Turks a great power with equal rights. Wili the twentleth century find Christians suffering even -more tragically ‘than in the nineteenth? Kemal, the bold and brave patriot who was outlawed by the sultan, created a great natipnal assembly, with a government apphrently"many~ sided, but really subject only to him- self, and with France's strategic and firancial help drove the Greeks from Asia Minor. Europe permits Greece, from whence continental culture came, and for whose liberation from the Turkish yoke, ti.ousands, includ- ing Lord Byron, shed noble blood, to sink in an abyss, while the powers vie with one another to flatter the Mussulman victors as, after Russia’s disastrous Manchurian defeat, they flattered the Japanese to the detri- ment of white prestige. To regain Thrace for a European foothold and |abolish the capitulations designed to safeguard the rights of foreigners, Kemal is pretending that Turkey is to be a democratic republic, deposes the_ sultan and proclaims that the chaliph must be elected. Turkey a democracy! Since it got Constantinople in 1453 it always has been a nation of warlike hordes. The fertilest lands in Europe and Asla Minor have withered under Islamic militarism mixed with corruption. It has done nothing for civilization, culture, increasing prosperity or higher morals, but, with the most cunning cruelty, has persecuted all Christians within reach, enslaved and tried to exterminate them. It can't Go otherwise, for its belief orders It to desplse all other creeds and fight against the Christian dogs. who can be tolerated only when converted to Islam. The spirit of Mohammed will never make an honest peace with the gentle gospel of Jesus Chirst. A people who for centuries were re- duced to servitude by the moods of a sultan and whose highest digni- taries ‘and generals only yesterday were obliged to run like dogs be- hind the padisshah's carriage are supposed to have become over night, ready for self government! Lesson for France. France, so ready to mock camou- flage, and which in 1914 saw the Turks pocket billions of a French loan and then declare war against her, surely cannot believe that any state of this sort is ready for prudent constitu- tionalism. The caliph heads millions of Mussulmans where of the Turks are only a smal] part. All Islam obevs his slightest wishes and when he un- furis the green flag rushes into holy war against all unbelievers. And now this caliph is to be elected by ithe national assembly from the de {throned Ottoman family! In Rome the Pope is elected, but by all cardinal and not alone by Italians. Is Islam’s| Pope to be elected by the Turks only and himself a Turk* although the caliphate really belongs to the Arabs, from whom the Turks stole it. The national assembly will elect the most easily influenced Ottoman prince, thus obtaining predominance over the pan-Islam movement which threatens = three continents and, combined with the yellow fanatics and imperialists Jof east a may soon threaten America and Australia. Doesn't Eng- land, which forced Llovd George to; resign on account of his near eas policy, see what danger threatens Al fesopotamia, Persia, Afghan- Bellochistan, Punjab, Bur £ it allows Mussulman unity to be subject to the Turkish scimitar?; Has petroleum spoiled Jokn nose so that for the first time he fails to scent where his interest lies? | Democratic ideals are racing through | the world In a Ford car, but with! Trotsky, Kemal, Mussolini or high tories as chauffeurs the best tires won't prevent a serious blow-out. The Lausanne conference must answer questions of race, creed, culture far more Important than control of the stralts. Only the echo of the crustad- ing spirit from the cathedral can help. Washington's favorite child must not be wantonly crippled or misused for purposes of deceptive imposture. (Copyright, 1922.) SLEEP OR DANGE' ISSUE IN BRITAI Singular Election Contest Is Likened to a Street Fight. | istan, n I | BY A. G. GARDINER, | England’s Greatest Liberal Editor. i i By Cable to The Star. LONDON, November 11.—The fourth anniversary of the armistice finds England on the eve of the most sin- gular general election in her history. It s not so much a straight fight as a street fight, in which everybody hits anybody. But the main interest centers in the growing antagonism among the leaders of the late coall- tion government. The attempt to maintain civil relations is breaking down under the stress of the battle and recriminations become hotter as the polling day nears. As Lady Bonham Carter wittily sa; The choice is_between the sleep- ing sic-ness of Bonar Law and the St. Vitus dance of Lloyd George.” Blames Lloyd George. Law throws responsibility for the fallure of the coalition on Lloyd George. The latter claims Law equally responsible with him for the coalition policies or lack of them. He scoffs at the new minlstry as greenhorns. _ Birkenhead, hitting right and left, suggests that Lord Derby is no statesman. Derby re- tallates by suggesting that Birken- head {s no gentleman. 'Perhaps both | are right. Meanwhile Churchill, last of the thres musketeers of politics, still is out of the battle line owing to an operation for appendicitis. He has written denouncing the government and renewing allegiance to Lloyd George. Law, replying, politely sug- gests his astonishment that Churchill | could be loyal to anybody, and the public shares that astonishment. There Is a widespread opinion that Churchill was himself only a short time ago favorable to the overthrow of Lloyd George. Lieyd George's Stock Falling. The stock of the latter is still fall- | ing as the result of the public wash- ing of dirty linen.” Curzon has turned on him, declaring that Lloyd Georg did not consult him as foreign minis ter before issuing his near east co- lonial empire manifesto on September 16. It now is clear that his only confederates in that amaszing per- formance were Birkenhead and Churchill, who are accused of having been the war party in the old coali tion cabinet. Nevertheless, Lloyd George contin at_the polle. Meanwhile, as the civil war rage among the fragments of the machine, of the lzte coalition the liberals, un der Asquith, are making progress. They now anticipate that they will win something in the neighborhocd of 100 seats. Labor, on the other hand, | has commj of a levy on capital in order to re duce the national debt. b 2 This has aroused a great hue and ed war on private enterprise. La. bor is staggering under the fury of the assault, which was quite unex- pected, as until very lately many lib- erals, and even Bonar Law himself, had treated the capital levy as an|= arguable alternative to the present excessive income tax. In the circum- stances it is improbable that labor will carry more 130 seats. Lloyd George will have fifty personal fol- 35¢c. .
