THAT NATION LARGELY TO BLAME It Has Steadfastly Refused to Make Naturalization Treaty. SYRIANS ARE OF WHITE RACE Experts of Smithsonian Institute Contradiet Ruling of Richard K. Campbell that They Are Mongolians. WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.—The question of granting naturalization to Turkish subjects determination of competent courts. “This is the attitude of the State department as defined in a statement ls- sued today and Is taken to Indlcate that the department is not prepared to accept without question the conclusion of the bu- reau of naturalization of tne Department of Commerce and Labor that Turkish sub- Jects are not entitled to naturalization. The recent ruling of Chief Richard K. of naturalization that Syrians and thelr racial kindred, who subjects, were vellow, not white, and that they were barred, there- fore, from naturalization under existing laws, called forth a protest from the Otto- man charge d'affalres a few days ago. The State department's view is that Tur- key is responsible in large measure for the situation that has arisen. The department's statement is as follows: “For a quarter of a century the govern- ment of the nited States has sought, and today continues to seek, to negotiate with the Ottoman government a naturalization convention to provide for the recognition by that government of the expatriation of Turklsh subjects duly naturalized as Amer- ican citizens, This well filustrates the fact that there has been absolutely no change _Jin the policy or views of the Department of State on the subject of the naturaliza- tion of Turkish subjects. Courts Will Determine. The basis of recent press reports upon this question have recently come to the notice of the Department of State. Insofar as such reports may have been discussed a: affecting the question of naturalization, it is hardly necessary to state that they are without effect upon the above policy or upon the question of granting naturaliza- tion—a question which now, as in the past, is for the determination of the competent courts, “As further illustration of the policy above indleated, it may be added that the government of -the United States by ‘the issuance of passports and By the good ofices of the forelgn service has always sought to give to American citizens of Turkish origin precisely the sagpe protec- tion afforded to all other citizens of the United States in forelgn countries According to the view held by the race experts of the Smithsonlan institution, the Syrians, a large portion of the Armenian; the Arabs, Semitics and dwellers of north- ern Africa, such as the Egyptians, notwith- | | standing the fact that the hot sun in that climate has tanned their skins, are as much a part of the white race as any blond white man can be. Views of Scientists. Dr. Justin 8. Kirreh of New York, who has been upturning available stone in Washington recently in his effort to over- throw Mr. Campbell's ruling, has appealed to the Smithsonian experts with results which he regards as highly satisfactory. He came out tonight with the statement that Dr. Hrdlicka of the institute's division of physical anthropology has entirely con- | firmed his contention that the Syrians and their racial kindred, sought by Mr. Camp- bell to be excluded, are indisputably of the white race. No officlal utterance on the subject has been made by the Smithsonian institute, which shows no disposition to enter the controversy in any formal way in absence of an official request. Dr. Kirreh said that Dr. Hrdlicka eon- firmed him in the lew that so far were the Syrians from being of the yellow race that they never had any dealings or connection whatsoever with the Mongols. “Prof. Walter Hoff, director of the bureau sald Dr. Kirreh, “also laughed at the idea of consigning the Syrians to the yellow race, as did Dr. Holmes, director of the bureau of American ethnology, who placed before me three standard works on the subject to proe that the Syrians are In eery sense of the word whites, GREEK REBELS ARE CAUGHT Ringleaders in Recent Revolt to Be Surrosnded by Troops.
