VOLUME 2
BOARDMAN, OREGON, FRIDAY, DEC. 8, 1922
NUMBER 44
CONGRESSMAN KELLER
Oscar E. Keller, congressman from
Minnesota, who filed charges of im
peachment against Attorney-General
Daugherty.
AMERICA OPPOSES
TURKISH DEMANDS
Lausanne. America and Japan both
lined up with Great Britain i,nd Italy
when they took their stand against
Isnvet Pasha's contention that Turkey
had wiped out all th i capitulation cr
extra territorial rights for foreigners,
by declaring them null in October,
1914.
Richard Washburn Child, spokes
man for the United States, said that
if any legal dispute should arise, the
Washington government would be ob
liged, to take the same position as the
allied powers.
Baron Hayashi for Japan said he
had great sympathy with Turkey's
dislike for the capitulations, because
his government once labored under
the same system. Japan, however,
had taken 20 years to build up a legal
system satisfactory to the foreign
powers, and Turkey, he believed, would
require the same time for the same
work.
Ismet told the delegates that Turk
ey's resentment against the capitula
tion system was beyond the compre
hension of foreigners. These special
rights, he said, were no longer neces
sary, as the nationals of other coun
tries receive adequate protection from
the Turkish courts and other institu
tions and should not expect different
treatment from that accorded Turkish
subjects.
