Constantinople, Sept "a banker oil
considerable prominence in CONSTANT.
lnople has given the Associated Press cor.
respondent some idea of what may be
accomplished in Turkey in event Of the
war having favorable outcome for the
Turks. Although the banker stipulated
that his name should not be used at this
time, his position and knowledge OF the
country are such that his statements,
even appearing anonymously, may be
considered as Of unusual Importance.
Discussing the essentials that would
make Turkey a strong and self-contained
political unit after the war, he said at
the outset that what Turkey needed to-
| day most was an economic policy that
would leave something for coming gen
erations. In other words, exploitation
would have to cease.
"The undeveloped resources Of the OF.
toman empire are enormous he contin-
ued. Turkey. for instance, could meet
the entire grain shortage Of Europe, II
its soil were adequately titled and mar
keting facilities provided. Turkey could
supply all OF Europe with fruit, and ship
fully one half Of the meat now imported

land. The intelligent cultivation Of cot
ton would place Turkey nexs 60 the
United States AZ producer Of the sta.
pie. The olive oil industry could be in
creased ! 900 times. More wool could be
exported. Ports Of Anatolis and Syria
are especially suited for the raising Of
plants Of great medicinal value Even
coal Of fair value could be shipped 10 the
Mediterranean countries"
Before any Of these things could Be
made possible, however. said the bank
er, the Ottoman government would have
to realize that a stable economic policy
was necessary. Some Of the Young Turks
had already arrived at such a conclu. /
sion. but little had been done even hy 1
