THE OTAGO DAILY TIMES FRIDAY, MAY 14, 1920. THE TERMS FOR TURKEY.

! One of the outstanding questions which demanded the attention of the Supreme Council of the Allids at the recent conference at San Remo was that of the settlement with Turkey. The decision upon this question has been embodied in the treaty which has now been presented for signature to the delegates at Versailles. The brief summary of the terms of the document* contained in the cabled messages confirms what wo have already been told respecting the determination of the Supreme Council upon the principal points. There is no surprise, theroforo, in the fact'that the treaty makes no demand for the expulsion of the Turk from Europe, Alone .among the heads of the Allied Governments President Wilson has latterly persisted in this demand, and the United States, by virtue of her anomalous position, in relation to the Peace Treaty, was not represented at the San Remo Conference. Really all that ve have been told respecting the decision not to turn the Sultan out of

Constantinople is that it lias been basod Upon reasons of high policy that woro convincing to the majority of tho Allies. Consequently tho Turkish Government will remain at Constantinople. Possibly the consideration has weighed with tho Allies that so long as tho Ottoman Government resides in its ancient capital, instead of being immured in Asia, far removed from naval or .military force, pressure can bo most readily and effectively exercised upon it. Tho terms of tho treaty relativo to tho delimitation of tho Turkish frontiers'will disappoint the Turk if ho imagined that tho long delay in tho promulgation of the Allies' proposals, coupled with his .own returning braggadocio, boded well for the prospect of his escaping lightly tho conscquonces of the part played by liis country in tho "war. Upon tho European side the Turkish territory, is to bo curtailed by tho assignment to Greece of Eastern Thrace approximately to the Chatalja linos, in which respect M. Vcnizolos seems to have done very well for his country. This decision, follow ing upon the loss by Turkey of the greater portion of her European provinces in tho Balkan war, means that tho Turkish Empire in Europo will beeoino little more than a shadow of its former self. As an Empire, indeqd, Turkey may be considered to cease to exist in tho light of tho more vital provisions of the treaty concerning what was formerly Asiatic Turkey. The application by tho Allies of the principle of self-determination, t,ho creation of new independent States, the extension of mandates .to Great Britain and France in respect to Syria, Mesopotamia, and Palestine, the endorsement of the Britisn Government's declaration in favour of a national home for the Jewish peoplo, and stipulations respecting the future of Armenia, Smyrna, and Khurdistan involve a crushing blow to the survival of the influence which Turkey grossly abused over subject populations. Of far-reaching importance is of course tho provision of the treaty tinder which Turkish control of the becomes a thing of the past, as was bound to bo the case, and the strait is placed under the authority of an. international commission. Tho terms of the treaty coincide in many respects with tho provisions of tho Covenant of the League of Nations. There is no occasion hero to consider to what extent failure on the part of the League would affect tho' treaty itself. This is a wide question by which nations other than Turkey are affected. Under the treaty the Turkish army is to be reduced to trifling dimensions, while provision is made for an act of belated justice in the trial by an Allied tribunal of Turkish war criminals and those responsible for the massacres with which the Turkish war record has been so darkly stained. Turkey is also called upon to make financial reparation, but we do not suppose" any of the Allied' Power's will be very sanguine about the fulfilment of this provision. The treaty includes a just and careful endeavour on the part of the Allies to do everything in their power to protect the Christians still under Turkish rule, and to solve the problems with which Turkey, with its, varied populations, has confronted the civilised and humane world for many generations. The conditions are fairly drastic, and it goes without saying that they will be received with a Turkish protest,, particularly no doubt in respect of the territorial concessions to Greece and. of the•"carving-up" process as a whole. It has been stated that the representatives of the Turkish Government will refuse to sign the treaty. We may certainly expect them to make difficulty over the matter. But the Allies have not proceeded without thought respecting the possibility of such a development and respecting the probable necessity of exercising coercion. Lord Curzon, speaking %on behalf of the British Government, has offered the assurance that the Allies have been min'dful of the governing principle that nothing should be ordered or undertakeu in respect to Turkey that could not be carried through.

A visitor to Australia who is of the calibre of General Booth was - hardly likely to escape an invitation to answer a pointed question on the controversial topic of prohibition. General Booth is an opponent of the trade in alcohol. For that reason he would, as he says, like to see Australia "dry." He confessed, at tho same time, that he is not sure whether the will of a section of -the people should be forced upon the others. There are many in Australia, as well a* in New Zealand, 'who will not find this statement very palatable. "' Many, also, with whose view we 'can sympathise, will find satisfaction in the careful deliberation of General Booth's judgment and in his refusal to commit himself to the extreme platform of the prohibitionists.- While he" is personally in favour of the abolition of the liquor traffic—total abstinence, it is to be remembered, is a rigid rule of the Salvation Army—General Booth is not prepared to agree that prohibition by compulsion is a just method of bringing the consummation to pass. A reference to prohibition conveys with it a general idea of compulsion. There is, however, such an expression as "voluntary prohibition," which is the kind of prohibition, we take it, that has General Booth's- support. The view which he has expressed is that taken by a great many persons of sober habits who have no liking for the liquor trade. The founder of the Salvation Army, the first General Booth, so far as we are aware never committed himself to a pronouncement in favour of the principle of compulsory prohibition, and his mn and successor scorns to draw the same reasonable line of discrimination.

Tiru popular tax has yet to be discovered, and the politician who can hit upon it and protect his rights in the discovery may be - , sure to live politically for over. An interesting letter, headed "A Farm Taxation Absurdity," in our insue of the 7th inst, expressed the objections of farmers to the present method of assessing income tax. It is clear that there are several anomalies in our system, and it may be hoped that these may be considered daring tho coming session. A recent debates in the Federal House ot Representatives on a motion affirming the opinion that " the fairest method of calculation, for purposes of the Federal income tax, as appliedto prinftry producers would be on the basis of five years' operations," is .interesting in this connection The following supposititious case, based on the assumption that <v merchant and a primary producer each earned £8000 in a period of, fivo years, was presented during the debate:—

Tho farmer's profits ami losses were , 1914-15, £4000. loss; 1915-16, £ICOO loss-' 1916-17, £3000 profit, on which he would pay a tax of Is 5 2-3 d in tho pound; 1917-18, £4000 profit, on which he would pay a tax of 2s skd in the pound; and 19J5-19, £6000 profit, on which ho would pay a tax of 3a s£d in the pound. Tho total tax on a net income of £8000 for fivo yeare would be £1746. A merchant earning in the same five years £13C0 £1900, £K00,£1300, and £1900 respectively' would pay a tax of Bd, Iβ, ll|d. Is Id,' and Iβ 4£d itr tho pound respectively, and the total amount he would have to pay in the fivo yoare, on an income of JB9OOO, would be £417, as compared, with. £2746 by.ihft primary producer.

Tho motion was eveutually carried unanimously, but tho possibility of departmental objections was hinted at by the Acting Treasurer.

In* the courao of a discussion on a Bill conecrninjj cojiiago tho Ciiancollor of \tho Exchequer flatly refused a request for tlio abolition of the threepenny-piece. Indeed, tho more idea scorns to havo moved liim to pained burpriso,— ; o3 well it rrifght, for what would st livrgo proportion of cliTrrch-gocra do without the blessedly convenient silver mite? What would the mildly playful dalesman do if, when disponsing change, he werro deprived of his time-honoured quip about " church money"? Mr Chamberlain emphatically declared th.it tho tkreepenny-pieco was " in immense demand," —■Iμ did not add "on Sundays." It is not we are dragging in the Sunday aspect, of the matter, for it was tho " fons et orig'o" of tho discussion. Tlio member who advosated the abolition appears to have boldly taken his stand on thp platform of ■aggrieved cliureh-wairdeaism. The three-peiuiy-bit ought to bo banished for the vert' reason that it is "tho irreducible minimum of respectable a.lmsgivlng." But might not such a drastic policy merely servo to bestow' new popularity .and dignity upon the hitherto (sn/vc for small childnen) non-ecclesiastical nenny? If the unappreciated " thrummer." on ceasing to bo a clnirch-goer, gives up his place to the plebeian " brown " —a third of tho value and a clumsy nuisances on the plate—how would anxious cliiirch-wardendom be advantaged? Tho threepenny-bit is likely to preserve its existence and its traditions. Thero was a clergyman who accidentally dropped one of the tiny coins. "Ah, vicar!" cried a privileged friend, "you've been dipping into the offeirtory." " What!" was the prompt reply, " do you recognise your own miserable contribution ?"

Tho Hon. J. O. Coates (Minister of Fubh'o Works) arrived in Dunedin by tho second express on Wednesday evening and left for the south yesterday morning. Mr Coatcs's tour will bo extensive, as, ho intends to visit tho West Coast and probably Nelson and Marlborough. ?,Jr Coates will rdoirn from tho south this evening.

Mr Massoy, addressing tho . Education Conference in Wellington yesterday (states a' Prose Association messago), said that nothing was moro important than education to tlio rising generation. The youngsters wero worthy of tho best education .tho country could give them. iho overseas visitors during tho Pnnco's -visit wero much jmpressed, not only with the physique, but tho intelligence of New Zealand children. Tho country was safe in their hands, when

they replaced tho present generation. Mr Maseey emphasised , tho importance of teaching history along the lines advocated by

Dr Newton, and said that ho hoped the day.would com© when it would not be necessary for young men' to go out of this country seeking bettor opportunities than woro available- here.* . They should load up to that in every possible way, •

Tho following applications for assistanco wero dealt witn at yesterday's meeting of tho Otago Distriot Kopatriation Board:— Business loans —Five application representing £720, woro received, four amounting to iJXJQ were approved, and one for £130 was declined. Furniture loans—Ten applications were received, of which nine wero approved and ono was declined. Three applications from apprentices were received and approved. Six soldiers unable to tollovv their pre-war occupation were placed in new trades and their wages subsidised. Eight applications for teclinioal and university training wero received, five wero approved, and three were held over. The Dunedin Horticulturaji Society, by re-

iinquishing its dates at the Art Gallery

in»lavour of the Overseas Cliib, so as to "enablo that body to hold an "At Homo" in honour of the Prince of Wales, is deserving of thanks for its ' puhlio-epirited-ness. It is to be hoped that' its enforced change of venue to 29 and 30.Octagon, in the building that formerly formed part of Herbert, Hayhee, and Oo.'s business premises, will not militate against the interests of tho society, and that tho public will accord tlio society that patronage it EO richly deserves at its ohrysanthenmim show next Wednesday and Thursday.

The Otago Education Board decided yesterday on the motion of Mr W. R. Brugh, seconded by the Hon. D. T. Fleming, that

a winter yacation of five days should be sanctioned, and that school committees 6hcnrld bo authorised to use as 'many of theso days as they think nt during the week of the Prince's visit. Tho reluctance of the Prince of Wales to sign autograph albums recalle a story which went tho rounds a good many years ago when Queen Victoria was alive and a grandmother. There were at Etpn several Princes of the Royal blood, and one of them, like many other little boys, ran short of pocket money. Hβ wrote to his Queen grandmother asking for some slight assistance, and received in reply a just rebuke, tollirg him that little boys should keep withyn their allowance, • and that be must wait until tho next remittance becamo due. The undaunted Prince trafficked in that letter, and shortly afterwards sent tho Queen a letter something like the following: "My Dear Grandmamma, —I am sure you will, be glad to Ifriow that I need not trouble you for any money just now, for I Bold your last letter to another boy here for 305."

Tho civil eittings of tile Supremo Court will commence on Monday. The following cases are set down for hearing:—Kate Hey v. James William Mayall (taxi oab proprietor), claim £1503 damages for a motor car accident which resulted in the death of plaintiff's husband (before the judge and a jury); Publio Trustee v. Arthur Edward Gladstone, claim £275 and interest on a promissory note; Perpetual Trustees, Estate, and Agency Company and others v. Alice 'Margaret Robinson Jones, claim for partition of lands. t The following petitions for dissolution of marriage will come up for hearing:—Janet Worthley v. James" Summerfield Worthley (desertion); Elizabeth Monk v. John Frederick Monk (adultery); Aanio Paton Griffith v. Hugh Griffith (desertion) ; Leslie WiEiam David Jolfs v. Gladys Edna Peters (petition for nullity of ma.rri.igo); 'Jessie Harriet Susanna jHollond v. Patrick John Holland; Ada Steele v. John William Cunningham Steele (adultery) ; Barbara Perry v. George Phillip* llippor Perry (desertion); Gertrude Ingham v. Tom Ingham (desertion).

Tore-bits, back-bits, V-shaped bits, Ushaped bits, near car, off ear, black point, bluo point, red paint, etc., wcro words which foil lilco tho leaves of Vallambrosa on tho oars of tho jurymen who wore empanelled to bear, the chargo of sheep-steal-ing brought against Adam Murdoch M'Dona.ld at tho Supremo Court yesterday It was all most confusing.' His Honor took occasion, to remark during of tho case that it was absolutely unintelligible to use the words foro-brte ayd back-bits— it was like Greek or Dutch to the jury. Hβ thought something should have been put before them to enable them to follow the evidence. Ho was quite sure that tho unfortunate jury were not in a position to intelligently follow the oaso. He said he remembered that in a case at Timaru where a man was tried for sheep-stealing, the police had produced in court a number of diagrams. Tho Crown Prosecutor remarked that charts would bo submitted by one of the witnesses for the Crown, Mr Manning, and this prompted his Honor to remark, ""Well, why wasn't he called first? However, it is not my concern." Later in tho hearing his Honor said the word "defaced" was being loosely used. There was a difference between ■ a sheep's ear whioh hud been defaced and ono in which one oar-mark had had another mark superimposed upon it. Subsequently, when Mr Manning was giving 'ovidenco, his Honor said each juryman should have nad a chart similar to that which witness used to explain tho different ear-marks to tho jury. It was quito impossible for the ■jurymen tr> follow tho evidonoe unless they had charts beforo them. The carpenters and joiners' award has now been filed by tho Arbitration' Court. Two separata applications were beforo tho court, but the award has been made for tho whole of the Otago and Southland district. Tho weekly <nuir*ber of hours in tho new award is etill fixed* at 44. The wagee are 2s Id an hotrr with a bonus of 3d. The award will come into foroe en the 24th J- Hi.

A menibor of tho Aucflbnd City Council has informed the Now Zealand Herald that tlio general imprmsion that membora of fclio council travel on frc« tickets on the corporation tramways is erroneous. Though U>o suggestion was mode that Uio privileges of froo passoa previously enjoyed by the directors of tho Auckland Tramway* CornpnJiy should bo extended to tho city conncilJors, no notion was takon, ns it waa pointed out that thero wna no power to voto free tickets for tramwayn, any more than thero waa to grant free fish from tho municipal fish market

'J 'ho romains of the late Gunner E. J. Gibson were interred at tho Anderson's Bay Cemetery yesterday morning. Gunner Gibson saw considerable service. Ho went away with tho advance party to Samoa, and afterwards left with tho 9th Reinforcements for Franco. Hβ was gased and returned to New Zealand invalided, and <li«l on 'I'ucsday. Tho Central Battery provided tho gun carriage, and \ tho military party was in charge of Lieutenant W. A. GustafBugler Napier sounded tho Last Post. The burial service at tho grave wne conducted by Oaptain-ohaplain Bryan King. Deceased was a member of Lodge Ivanhoe, U.A.0.D., which body was well represented at tho funeral.

The hearing of tho typographical dispute before tho Conciliation Council has been mado a fixture for June 10.

A gentleman connected with many cheese f.ictories in tho Wairara.pa states that tho lilting of tho Imperial coraraandocr on cheese will ca'tainly bo responsible for a rise in tho price of butter-fat next season. Although manufacturers will bo given an open market, this retail prico in Great Britain has been fixed not to exceed Is 8d per lb, which will moan that tho cheeso factories will receive approximately Is Id per ib, in lieu of 10J,d. What can be exported, to outside countries depends entirely on tho shipping facilities. Ho predicts that local retailers will havo to pay moro for thoir cheeee, although ho does not think tlie prico to tho consumers will be increased. At' present the retailers pay IOJd per lb, and pass it over to their customers at Is 3d. The profit, he thinks, can stand a fair reduction.

The directors of the Bank of New Zealand havo granted a general bonus of 10 per cent, to all members of the staff, and an additional 5 per cent, to' all married men drawing £400 per annum and under. Mr W. Martin, of Papatowai, has received a letter from Sir l"hoinss Mackenzie, in which lie states that he had asked Admiral IleJsey, of the Renown, to liro off a gun or two when ho was passing off the coast at Papatowai, and that ho had just received a reply to 'tho effect that the admiral would bo only too happy to do so. Tho .letter continues: "It»will not be long before I seo you. I hope to leave hero in August. I shall regret leaving many friends on this side, yet I shall bo gJad to be relieved of tho work, v.tiich has boon jpretty heavy. during a good part of tho time. lam looking forward to mooting- old friends in New Zealand once more."

in order that telephonio communication bo available at night time between tho city and Port Chalmers, the Postal Department has given tho Mayor of Port Chalmers an undertaking that a slot telephone at 6d per ring will bo instai/td at -Port Chahners at an early date. Tliie slot which will be" available during the day as well as at night time, is regarded as an earnest of better things to como telophonically between the city and the Port. The commonwealth immigration laws, as they relate to the entry of aliens into Australia, aro to be tightened up very considerably in til© near future (says tho M<Jbomrne Ago). The Federal Government introduced a Bill for 'this purpose in the last Parliament, "but, owing to the dissolution, the measure lapsed. On Friday, April 23, however, the Bill was reintroduced, and read a first timo in the Senate. It provides that every alien already resident in i.he commonwealth shall, imkaa otherwise exempted,, register as an alien, in accordance with the Act. The penalty for non-compliance with this provision is fixed at £100, or in default six montlis' imprisonment. Every alien who enters tie commonwealth as a passenger in, or as a member of tho crow of, any vessel, will be required to register immediately after arrival of the vessel at the first port of tall in the oommonweaWi, while every child of an alien registered in the commonwealth, who is not by birth a natural-born British subject, must register uncter the Act within one month after attaining the age of 16 years. Aliens will be required to report immediately any change of their place of abode, and will not , be allowed to change , their names without first notifying the authorities. All hotolkeepera and boardinghouse-keepors will be required to keep a register giving particulars of all aliens using their pre-mises, the date of their arrival, time of departure and destination on departure. Employers will also be required to Keep a register she-wing tho names of all aliesie in their employ.

The house of a well-known resident of Akaroa might easily have been burnt down the other afternoon ■while he. was busy at bia office, as a result of a mysterious fire (says the Qhristchurch Press). A lady of tho household, the only inmato at tho time, thought she smelt smoke. She traced this to an upstairs bedroom, one that had not been used for # some time, the rest of the family being away in the oountry. Here she discovered one or two articles of furniture, a patch of carpet on tho floor, and some woollen material on Uio dressing , table all smouldering. When these had been put out and the man of the house summoned by telephone, investigation showed that a mirror had been, tho cause. The bedroom is on the sunny side of tho house, and the mirror, with a convex surface, happened to be so placid that at this season of the year it caught the full rays qf the afternoon sun. The "burning glass," as tho children like to "call' it, .soon did the mischief.

"Thero is a marked tendency in these days to consider only tho practical side of education," Mr C. S. Howard said at the meeting of the Canterbury Education Board en Friday. " I feel that, when we have a chance, wo should gr<{e full prominence to tho aesthetic side. It ia a good thing for boys and girls to know tho texme applied to different parts of a rose, for instance. It is something that they will never forget, but will carry with them through life." The remarks were made when the board considered a decision by the Education Department not to recognise in the echool syllabus agriculture as a handwork subject in grade I schools. Mr T. Hughes spoke of the good influence of school gardens on the children. The board decided to protest against the department's decision (says the Lyttelton Times), and to inform the department that it believes that tho step is a retrograde one,' and does not conform to flbe spirit of a discussion at a recent conference between the deportment and representatives of tho New Zealand University, Education Boards, the Agricultural Department, and tho Agriciil- ' tural College at Lincoln. "It does not appear to tho board," the letter adds, " that tho substitution of cardboard modelling , for agriculture will have the same effect as agriculture has had in bringing school life into touch witih the home life of a district" Mr Wm. Blyth, of Opunakc, has just 'returned from a nine months' tour of America with the Chautauqua Speaking to an Opamake Times reporter, Mt Blyth said that prices of commodities in America were sky high-. Sugar was being retailed in New York in March last at 8d per lb, and in Vancouver at Is per lb. Meat also was very dear and of not nearly as good quality as tho New Zealand article. An ordinary tailor-made suit of clothes coet from £17 upwards, whilst foodstuffs of all descriptions were mweh dearer than in New Zealand. Despite tho tremendous coet of living- tho people seemed to have plenty of money to spend on amusements and dress. This, of course, was accounted for by the high wages prevailing. As elsewhere, the housing problem in America was a most acute one, it being estimated tJiat in tie ciiy of New York alone there wero 75,000 houses short of requirements "Thoro ia in America at the present time," said Mr Blyth, " strong evidence of bad feeling between tho American people and tho British, the farmer regarding Britain as a bankrupt nation. This hostile feeling is being greatly engendered by the Hearst newspapers. The radical papers all over America aro extremely liostilo to Britain. They desire that New York bo regarded as the financial hub of the world and are, in this connection, vary jealous of London."

An Jinprosaivo warning to bis fellow workers was given by Mr T. Richards, M.P., general secretary of the Slouth Wales Miners' Federation, in a. recent speech. Ho said the working classes wore daily growing rnoro powerful, and there was a temptation, to two that power; in other works, to re.sort to measures they condemned -Airing the war, that might was right, Paci/lcisla who during the war •would not shed the blood of -a German becaueo they hold (hat fighting , was wrong, wore- to-day heading a movement calculated to end in revolution and oreato bloodshed among out« kith and Inn. Direct action talk was fostered by those so-called pacificists. He did not call them pacificists, but hypooritee. Let them compare the British Constitution with what they liked; it was fcho finest, most glorious, and best tho world had over scon. "Boys, it's worth' saving," said Mr Richards. "Take America, if you like, imd compare it. Take any other nation, and- still tho British working main, with all his grumbles, is the freest subject under God's sun."

Present-day land values were referred to at tho public dinner at Inglewood by Mr Newton King, in the eoi:rso of his reply to tho toast of "Fanning Interests of Taranaki" (states the Stratford Post). He said some care should bo exercised in the land boom going on, and, in saying that, ho remarked that ho was not a pcssimi&t by any means, lie knew of farms havicg been eold at a high figure , which were not v;orth tie money. It wns a question of whoro a safe investment finished and speculation camo in. Some wore buying farms that they never intended to go on if they could help it, .but with the object of turning them over at an advance. Land booms vt'ere dangerous, and clwaye had a following e-ifect. He admitted that ]a:u! had to rise, because the products were now of very much higher value than in tho past. It appeared to him that the people v.ero going too far in some respects, jfe desired to. call their attention to this state of affairs, so that they might consider it more fully; and because they all knew ho was not a pessimist he believed his warning might have soino effect. The Education Department has written, to tho Canterbury Education Board stating that it is not legal to grant a retiring head master leave- for longer than seven daye, and tliat it has no intention to alter its regulations in order to entitle teachers to special leave on retirement. In explanation of its decision ths department reminds the that wliilo a public school teacher is granted annual holidays amounting approximately to 10 weeks, irrespective o'f\ length of service/ and of any sick leave already granted, a public servant is granted three weeks' annual leave if he lias over 10 years' sendee, subject to the deduction of all sick and special leave exceeding four days. "It will bo sean, therefore-," tho department states, "that the public school teacher is very liberally treated in tho matter of leave." Tho board at its last meeting expressed regret at the department's" action.
