TURKEY HAS THE WHIP HANDLE
Can ExpcI Her Ex-Citizens If She
Chooses to Do So.

Chooses to Do So.
Washington, Dec. 2S.-Owing to the
absence of naturalization treaty be-
tween the United States and Turkey,
our government, according to the State
Department, has no special authority
to interfere in behalf of naturalized
American citizens in Turkey against an
edict of expulsion. The reliance upon
broad principles of International law is
not strong, for the principle that a ma
ton may refuse to allow it's citizens to
change their nationality has been pref
ty well established. But admitting the
right of expulsion the United States
government has itself right to insist
that this shall not be attended by hard
ship, such as might result from the
allowance of the very limited period of
time for leaving Turkey. 1t Is probable
that Mr.. Eddy will take advanced
ground on that point If he cannot Sc
cure the abandonment Of the projected
order of expulsion.

over three miles and the Indepen-
dence nine and a half miles.
