(By Associated Press.)
Lausanne, Dec. 14. —Turkey will
join the League of Nations as soon am
peace is signed at Lausanne,
Pasha announced at the Near
conference today. As the League •
('crises genera! supervision nveJuf'j*
ority populations Isinet’s :>ml'
ment was interpreted as
that Turkey accept
supervision over tin '
pies of Turkey.
Ismet said Turkey to
accord the same treatment to minor
ities as Provided in the treaties ex
changed between the various Euro
pean countries. This, Ismet declared,
tvas not because of the
words of lord ('union. the* ‘,j
'foreign secretary, as voiced
day. but because the Turkish natnmM
pact required it. The Turkish dele
gate said Turkey accepted the
TTanting of general amnesty to po
litical prisoners. She would decline,
however, to establish a national home
for the Armenians.
Turkey, said Ismet, is likewise
agreed in principle to the plan for
her seeking admittance to the League
of Nations. She refuses, however,
the demand for the creation of a Da
tioual home for the Armenians and
the exemption of members of the mi
norities from military service.

Governor ScotLof Oregon Char
acterized Klan as National
Menace at Conference of
Governors Yesterday.
(By Associated Press A
White Sulphur Springs, Va., Dec.
14.—Prohibition and the Ku Klux
Klan were considered prominently in
the fourteenth annual conference of
governors a tthe sessions today and
tonight.
Governor Parker, of Louisiana, de
clared that prohibition had been a
flat failure and denounced the Ku
Klux Klan.
Governor Scott, of Oregon, charac
terized the Ku Klux as a national
menace.
Numerous questions of ’ national
and state importance were discussed
in addresses by state executives here
for the open session. Activities of
the Ku Klux Klan formed one of the
questions for discussion, while Gov
ernor Parker of Louisiana had an
nounced that he desired to inject into
the conference all the questions of
prohibition enforcement, despite its
absence from the list of subjects.
Following on the program the ad
dress of welcome by Governor Mor
gan of West Virginia and the re
sponse by Governor Hardee of Flor
ida were addresses by Governor Mc-
Kelvie of Nebraska on “Legislation
and the Farmer;” by Governor Hart
ness of Vermont on the “Industrial
Code and Human Economics;” and a
discussion by Governor Preuss of I
Minnesota, from the viewpoint of the
West, of the proposed St. Lawrenqy
waterway. Governors Campbell o M
Arizona and Ritchie of Maryland also*
were on today’s program for speeches
on na’tional and state subjects. Ques
tions of taxation and Mgkwgy con
struction were among
duled in ci.me up during
conference. J
The subject of tre Ku
propably will be the first broached,
when Governor Olcott or Oregon, dis
cusses it In an open address at tomor
row’s session on “America Adrift.”
There wa s a possibility, however that
Governor Parker, who has indicated
lie would touch on this question also,
would take the floor on the first day.
He was scheduled to speak Saturday,
but will be forced to leave Friday
night.
Governor Parker indicated on his
arrival for the c.onfenence that he
was prepared to offer suggestion,, for
curbing what he termed the “ITn-
Americanism” of the Klan, and mad e
it plain that, he intended to confer on
the question with Governor Olcott
and Governor Allen, of Kansas. The
latter is listed to addres s th e con
ference on “The Ku Klux Klan; The
Problem it Attacks and the Problem
it Creates.”
In regard to the question of Pro
hibition enforcemlene, Governor
Parker, referring to President Hard
ing’s intention to summon a meeting
of the governors in Washington next
month to discu Ss it, said he believed
the executives should take it up at
this opportunity in view of the pos
sibility of the meeting of state legis
latures preventing the attendance of
many of them at a later conference.
