THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1922 3 AMERICA CAWT USE IS, BORAH LEAVES WASHINGTON FOR REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN Plea of Bishop to Halt Turk Atrocities Answered. ALL POSSIBLE HELD DONE Secretary Informs Dr. James Cannon Jr., in Paris That 17. S. Sentiment Is Known. WASHINGTON. J). C, Oct 2. Secretary Hughes declared tonight in a cable message to Dr. James Can. non Jr., bishop of the Methodist Episcopal church South, who is in Paris, that the American govern ment, in reference to the near-eastern situation, "has not failed in any way to make the sentiment of the American people understood and to take every appropriate action. "The executive," Mr. Hughes added, "has no authority to go beyond this and there has been no action by congress which would justify this government in an attempt by armed forces to pacify the near east, or to engage in acts of war in orcrer to accomplish the results you aesire with respect to the inhabitants of that territory and to determine the problems which have vexfcd Europe for generations. Bishop's Mciuge Annvrrrd. The message was- in reply to one from Bishop Cannon under date of September 30, 'in which he declared his personal belief that "Christian America will insist the government of the United States co-operate and actively protect all Christians in Asia Minor, not only diplomatically, but, if necessary, with army and navy to obtain this result. "Prominent definite demands," Bishop Cannon continued, "sup ported if necessary by American naval units present, would prob ably have prevented, certainly greatly minimized the Smyrna fires and massacres. I believe Almighty God will hold the government re sponsible for inaction while thou sands were murdered and deported, and for failure to protect against the definite, heartless, brutal Kemalist announcement that all refugees not removed by today (Saturday) would be deported, which deportation, means thousands more added to the dead of previous Turkish deportations. Responsibility Is Cited. "Will not our government real ize its opportunity and responsibil ity as a great Christian nation, politically disinterested, to demand that burnings, outrages and mas sacres cease and thus effectively ' prevent" probable repetition in Con stantinople and Thrace of 1915 Samsoun and Smyrna horrors? 1 believe world-wide humanity would tremendously approve. Who would dare condemn prohibition of fur ther such horror. -Shall America have the condemnation of Meroz Judges 6:23?" In his reply. Secretary Hughes said: "Your telegram of September 30 reached me this morning. In the present situation, which has resulted from the clash of arms, the defeat of the Greek forces, the incidents of the retreat and the reprisals affected, not only have we done all that is possible for relief and in aid of the refugees, but we have ex acted in an appropriate manner our influence against all acts of cruelty and oppression. American Feeling Voiced. "On September 8, before the burn ing of Smyrna, the American high commissioner at Constantinople voiced this country's feeling in earnestly impressing upon the Turk ish nationalist authorities the im portance of taking the most ener getic steps to insure the population of the occupied territory 'against reprisals. Instructions have been .sent to continue and urge these representations and to emphasize the importance of immediate peace ful settlement in the interest of humanity. I have stated this gov ernment's unequivocal approval of the allied proposals to insure effec tively the protection of the Christian minorities and the freedom of the straits. American officials have intervened to secure the prolonga tion of the time limit for the evacuation of the refugees from Smyrna and thousands have been evacuated as the result of American initiative. "You will also recall that in June last we agreed to join in an inquiry which we hoped would place re sponsibility and prevent the recur rence of atrocities. Sentiment Made Known. "Keenly alive to every humani tarian interest involved, this gov ernment has not failed in any way to make the sentiment of the Amer ican people understood and to take every appropriate action. It is ihardly necessary to add that we have taken proper measures for the protection of American inter ests.

IDEA THOUGHT GROWING Mark Sullivan Declares That If Wilson Were In Good Health Issue W'ould Be Raised. BY MARK SULLIVAN. (Copyright by the New York Evening Post, Inc. Published by Arrangement.) v WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 2. The administration is being made aware that there is an impressive body of sentiment in America which demands something more than our government has yet done about the near east. As to just what should be done these demands are usually vague and occasionally impossible. A resolution, adopted by the na tional association of local preachers of the Methodist church, "protests against the continuance at the Turkish government under present and past executive administrations and that either the league of na tions end at once such administra tion or that the righteous nations of the world take the matter at once under proper supervision and make a new human Turkey or wipe it forever off the map of the world." Interest in Near East. This is the typical sort of thing that is being said formally and in formally by all sorts of-church or ganizations and by all sorts of per sons. The near east is what the country is interested in, and the politicians in both parties know it. So far there is no evidence that the administration has any inten tion of taking notice of these de mands for larger action on the part of our government. It is always possible to take refuge in the reply that these de mands are vague as well as violent and that the church organizations who adopt these resolutions are not as fully informed of the facts as our state department is. But to say that, or by silence to. imply is a policy of mere negation. It is Indeed not very distant from a , policy based on fear to accept re- sponsiouity. General Sentiment Expressed. The church organizations do not have any specification in mind. They merely express the very gen erally held sentiment that America ought to do something affirmative and something in proportion to its responsibilities. , In this situation there is material for a real political issue. Both parties, however, are disposed to dodge it. The democrats, after a few tenta tive motions, decided it would be better not to raise the issue of our foreign relations in the present campaign. Within a week after they had made that decision the crisis developed which wouid have provided them with an ideal oppor tunity for stirring up an immense league of nations sentiment that is always latent among the church people of the country. There need not be much doubt that if Woodrow Wilson were in good health the near east crisis would be thrown into the campaign and the question of our foreign re lations as a whole would become the chief issue. For the lack of any such leadership as this among the democrats. the republicans thank the stars that help them. By this lack they are spared any pub lic exploitation of the embarrass ment which the near east crisis brings upon them.
