NOTHIRD PARTY. IS PROGRESSIVE VOTE Measure Is Turned Down at Clog- ing of Cleveland Conention Cleveland, Dec, 18 (By Anoclutcd’ Press) —Delegates to the second con- ference for progressive political ac- ton were leaving for thelr homes to- day to perfect state organizations for fhe nomination and election of can- didates either through “primaries of old partles” or by “independent po- litical action as set forth in the pro- gram of organization adopted at the two-day convention here. Formation of a third party was defeated at the closing session last night after a prolonged debate in which many speakers characterized the republican and democratic par- tles as “owned and financed by Wall street.” A feature of the report of the resolutions committee as adopted by the conference as a leading factor in securing the election of progressive United States senators and members of the house request such members to act as a people’s bloc and to work for the people's progressive program and that the chairman and the sec- Jretary of this conference call such progressive members together as soon &8s the new congress convenes to or- ganize them for effective action,” Discussion of the third party ques- tion came after a day devoted to the discussion and adoption of 2 pro- gram for future political action and a platform in which was demanded repeal of the Esch-Cummins law; public control of waterpower; direct election of president and vice presi- dent; that congress end practice of |courts in declaring legislation uncon- stitutional; enactment of the Norris- Sinclair bill; payment of a soldier (bonus by taxes on excess incomes, iand legislation providing minimum standards of employment for women. PASHAIS TAKING . DETERMINED STAND Objects to Minorities Being Wri- ten Into Treaty Lausanne, Dec. 13. (By Associated Press—The Angora delegates to the Near East conference are vigorously combatting the plan of the powers to write the question of minorities into the treaty which it is hoped will be drawn up here. Ismet Pasha and his associates, fearful that international regulations will be imposed upon Tur- key which will oblige her to protect foreign nationals residing within her borders, believe that such conditions would be an infringement of Turkish sovereignty and a slight to her honor. Pasha Is Aggressive. Ismet Pasha Hhas néver been so ag- gressive as in his attitude on this issue, which in the session yesterday challenged the attention of the world when Ismet declared that Turkey could not allow the league of nations to look after ‘the affairs of the .mi- norities. The Turkish statesmen contend that the Armenians in Turkey would be perfectly happy if agitators in other countries would only let them alone and if they would keep out of politics. Ismet made it clear that Turkey would always be a haven for non-Turkish races which behaved themselves and subscribed to Ottoman laws and ideals. He also asserted that the Greeks in Constantinople would be allowed to remain there if they were born in that city and if they would become Turkish subjects. It is estimated that only about 50,000 of the 400,000 Greeks in Constan- tinople have retatined their Greek citizenship and it is hoped here that a ‘great many of the Greek colony which is so useful in the commercial life of the city will be allowed to re- main. a Allies Are Displeased. The determined Turkish stand on the minority question is displeasing to the allies. The powers would like to see some definite understanding on this troublesome ‘question formulated at the Lausanna conference 8o that as Ambassador Child said yesterday the populations and races which are now living in fear may feel the pres- ence of protective guarantees for their future safety. Ambassador Child, in his address on the minorities question, said that the representatives of the United States believed the ends to be sought were ‘‘prevention,” rather than mere relief, and guarantees of .safety for minorities, rather than mere succor to their misery and permanence of joint action, rather than mere spas- modic separate activity.” “In this purpose,” the ambassador declared, “the people of my country, though far removed by distance, have a profound interest and will continue to stand ready with their contribu- tions.” a NEW RULE AT SYRACUSE Syracuse, N.

MILLION POUNDS TO House of Commons Agrees Amount After Lengthy Session —Much Bitterness London, Deé. 13.. (By Associated Press)—A supplementary estimate for one million pounds sterling for the relief of unemployment was agreed to by the house of commons early to- day toward the close of a 16 hour session prolonged by the tactics of the labor party. The laborites had agreed yesterday to try to keep the house in session until it is prorogued Friday night, in an effort to force the government to take further steps toward the allevia- tion of unemployment. Members of the party endeavored to get the issue discussed at every available oppor- tunity during the session but a mo- tion for closure made by Stanley Baldwin, chancellor of the exchequer, at about 6:30 o'clock this morning was carried by a substantial major- ity. The motion was hailed with cries of ‘“shame,” *“gag,”” and ‘*scandal” while epithets of a more personal character swere hurled at the occu- rants of the treasury bench. 3 The session which adjourned at 6:30 o'clock was tinged with humor and bitterness. “Is this a new game of patience we are learning?” asked a labor member of the speaker in the early morning hours. “No, it's quite an old game,” re- plied the speaker with a laugh.
