Both Governments have been unable
to obtain from Turkey any satisfactory

The various capitulations originated.
Mr.. Straus said, in the twelfth century.
when Turkey was dominant Power
The Ottomans allowed foreigners after
1853 to continue their local self-govern-
ment and religious autonomies but in
later years and centuries. when Turkey
became less powerful. these grants of lib
eral!ty became Incorporated as rights In
treaties with foreign nations. These were
first made with France. Austria and Great
Britain and others followed.
In 1882" Mr. Straus said the United
States made its first treaty with Turkey.
This contained the favored nation clause.
We also obtained the same extra-terri-
. torial rights enjoyed by the great Euro
pean nations. But all the various stipu-
lations have not been peacefully enjoyed :.
the fact Is that some of the clauses in the
treaty OF 1892 referring to extra-terri-
torial rights have been the subject OF
dispute and negotiations TO- the sast ilfty
years.
With these capitulatiors n force Tur-
key was not sovereign In her own domin-
Ions. The older treaties permitted her TO
impose only an per cent. tariff on inn
ports. Shortly after the new regime that
is in 1909. Turkey succeeded. by giving a
consideration. in obtaining the consent OF
the Powers to raising duties 10 II per cent
Turkey would have been better able to
meet her bills had she been permitted to

mba ssa dor's statement.

This objective IL emphasized by the
Turkish Ambassador, who in an interview
said tonight:
These capitulations were restrictions
upon the sovereignty of Turkey acquired
by the great Powers Of Europe, in the
main. by Wrestling from the Ottoman
empire certain natural rights. Other
natural rights were voluntarily aban-
doned in former times in moments of
what I may call national unconsciou,-
ness in other words, " hen Turkey IN
her dealings with the great Powers went
to too great lengths in trying to he
magnanmous and gave too great proofs
OF her llb"rality.
These conventions, which have Civ, n
rise to all manner Of abuses have been
serious obstacles 10 the material and
moral progress of Turkey. For one thing
they made II very difficult for Turkey to
raise revenues according to the capacity
OF tho country and We're the causc of
serious discrimination IN the economic
field In favor Of the foroign- and against
the natives Of the empire.
Turkey has entered into negotiations
with the beneficiary Powers with Ni'w
of abrogation OF these capitulations, but
was met I'm such mercantile spirit by
them that the negotiations had to he
abandoned. The present war has APP
pearcd to Turkey to he a good opportunity

she has taken being her natural rights

be one OF the most serious results affect

Turkish subjects from which they have
hitherto been exempt
Many go so far as to predict that the
life md property OF all foreigners in
Turkey will be SO endangered rs to compel
the state Department to advise Americans
TO leave the country as soon as possible.
This gloomy view is based largely upon
the anti-Christian and anti-foreiGn prop
agsnda which have for months been
spreading throughout the Turkish empire.
\ violent turn may be given 10 this agta-
tion by the ant!-foreign action of the
Government itself.
In other quarters. however it is de-
clared that the action of Turkey is based
chiefly upon her needs for larger reve-
nue.. The capitulations provide that the
Turkish customs dues cannot be raised or
lowered without the consent OF the
Powers Revocation Of these will leave
Turkey free to increase her tariff rates,
as she has long desired to do.

side as we'll. If he succeeds in landing
the additional job, he will work ten
hours a day, and draw 5000 month,
which is not bad considering that he
is taught the work of running the
elevators, and paid in full while he is
being instructed.
When congress adjourns, if he is
successful in landing the additional
place, he will get 5000 month for
nothing at all until December 1, when
the two houses will reconvene. Wheth-
er he lands the extra place or not, he
is drawing 500 month for five hours
