Coiistantiiie Says
Greeks and Turks
Cannot Asree
-
Grecian Kin Declares He
Does Not Regard Pfational
,ist Leader as Person Worthy
; to Be Dealt With.
Athens. Feb. 2. (By The Asso
ciated Fress) Direct ' negotiations
for the settlement of near eastern
problems between the Greek and
Turkish nationalists are impossible,
said King Coiistantiiie today. He
indicated he was not averse to con
versations between Greek represcn-
tatives 4nd delegates chosen by the
sultan's government, if such proce
dure was dictated by the interests of
Greece '
Whether this attitude ou the part
of the Greek kinp would have any
hcarinpf on 'the near east conference
to be hela in London late this
month, was not disclosed by Cony
stantine, but he made it evident his
government would refuse to recog
nize Mustapha Kemal Pasha, head
of the furkish nationalists, or his
delegates. .
' Constantine declared he would
make no overtures to former Pre
mier Veni?elos, who is at iresent in
France, stating M. Venizelos must
take the initiative,
I Doesn't Recognize Kemal ,
"I do not reTognize Mustapha
Jvetnal as aperson vvortfry to be
dealt with," said the king. "Why
does Europe make all this fuss over
an outlaw? Mustapha v Kemal is
only a big bluff: a big bubble, and
w e could blow hhn off the map as
we would blow a fly off the table.
If it seems wise after the London
conference for. Greece to enter into
negotiations with , the responsible
Tufki&li government in Constanti
nople, we will not hesitate to take
that step, but any' discussion must
take cognizance of our right to hold
Smyrna and Thrace. This is not an
imperialistic policy. It is our na
tional policy. We must protect our
people outside the home land."
M. Gounaris, minister of war, will
go io London as one of the Greek
delegates, as he is a leader of the
dominant political party, and King
Constantine asserted he did not see
how the allies could refuse to accept
the minister if he was the choice of
- the government and people.
' Hopes for "U. S. Recognition.
Constantine said he had no in
formation that the United States
would soon recognize him, but add-
cd he was naturally hopeful such
action would be taken. -He said he
was glad, to see that President-elect
Harding had expressed friendly
sentiments toward Greece, in a com
munication to a Greek-American re
publicans club. Reports that the
Greek army in Asia Minor had suf
fered a defeat in recent operations
'were denied by ConstaAtine, who
. said the Greeks had won a complete
victory. , -
"We have smashed the Turkish
nationalists everywhere we have met
; them,'" he asserted.
Constantine's trip to Smyrna and
Thrace has boen postponed until
after the London conference, v.:

Laborers Now Leaving
Chicago by Hundreds
Chicago Feb. 2. More than 100
Poles and Lithuanians, are quitting
Chicago every day. Every train tor
the south bears away negroes who
are unable to find employment here,
or what is more vital, they can find
no place to live.
An apartfnent building housing 60
negro families was s bombed and
burned this morning and the "home
less, ones have nowhere to turn ex
cept back to the south. ' ,
The '.Poles and Lithuanians are
leaving because of retrenchment in
the packing and steel industries.
They fear an era of hard. times, or
at bst a chiseling down in all work,
in which pYocess Americans and
men of families will have first chance
at whatever work is be had..

Reparation Plan
Only as a Basis
- ' - V
I 1 "
Filial Proposals Agreed Upon
by Allies Looked ; Upon
Merely as Working Scheme
, for Settlement,
Berlin, Feb. 2. Germany does not
consider the terms of reparation de
cided upon by the supreme allied
council at Paris last week as being
the final settlement of the Indemnity
question, but the basis of future
negotiations. This was indicated
by Dr. Walter pinions, foreign
minister, who spoke on the repara
tion questicu.before the Reichstag
yesterday. .
His address was viewed as a
cautious statement 4y party leaders
who were willing informaUy to dis
cuss' it. The prevalent opinion was
that Dr. Simons had not burned his
bridges behind him, and that "this
presentation of the Grman attitude
might enable him to gam important
time, both in anticipating the-, alti
tude of -the nc American ad
ministration and ii reaching a
definite settlement ol the fate of
uooer Silesia. " S
Rumors have been current that the
present German cabinet would re
sign, but they have been given little
credence. Only the communists
stand out as the opposition. The
opinion was also quite universally
expressed that the independent so
cialists could adopt no other atti
tude than one of stern opposition to
the reparation conditions, under
which the proletariat would be the
greatest sufferers. This view vas
promptly subscribed to by majoritv
socialists, who have made it knowR
they would stand by the present gov
ernment. "The reparation demands are
above all a blow at the German
workingman," Dr. ' Eduard David,
majority socialist leader and former
member of the ministry, declared in
talking with The Associated Press.

thousands of homes in Chicago," as
tenants have been barely able to
meet the exorbitant rentals. In many
cases tenants have suffered reduc

readjustment niw under way and the
further increaserfa this item of family
expense will -bo more than many of
them can carry. .
Som of the complaints, reaching
the Tenants' protective association
show thei nature 'of. the latest gouge.
Flats formerly renting for $20 to
$27.50, and that were boosted to $60
last May, will now cost $80, Flats
that formerly rented for $30 and, $35
and which were boosted to $65 and
$75 last May, will now cost $110.
The landlords say no new flats are
being built and that homeless people
are bidding against each other for
the available supply, so - that the
people themselves are really making

jection to the governments pro

ment of oil taxes was presented to
Adolfo de la Huerta, secretary of
the treasury, yesterday afternoon
by a committee representing the As
sociation of Producers of Petroleum
in Mexico., Assertion was made by
members of the committee that it
was the most energetic protest as

association,
The memorandum contained.
charges of "subterfuge" in the des

that "companies which export pe
troleum are subject to maneuvers
which can be arbitrary on the part
of officials or the employes of the
secretary of finance. '
It is alleged the projected legisla

wholly out, of proportion to the
value of the product. Declaration
by the government that the proposed
law would provide for a production
tax, was denied . by the protest
which asserted the only portion of
oil production affected by the tax

petroleum and its products exported
from Mexico. " ,
