GERMAN EXPLOITATION
OF TURKEY AFTER WAR


Gently organized for the economic
study of the Near East has begun a
course of lectures at the University
Of Berlin, which is one of many in
dicaticns that the economic exploita-
tion of Turkey after the war Is al
ready engaging much attention here.
The first lecture was given by R.
Junge who has spent many years in
study of economic conditions in the
Near East and who has Just pub
lished a book under the title of "The
Europeanization Of Oriental Busi-
ness Life
The society referred to is made up
of a number of university professors,
students of economics, and business
men interested in the development
of Turkey. 1t appears, however, that
there is some disagreement among
the various authorities on the sub
ject as to whether Germany will find
as great an opportunity for trade in
Turkey as some of the more optimis-
tic writer's expect. Prof. C. II.
Becker. of the University of Bonn, in
an article In the Cologne Gazette
notes the large number of young
men who are taking up the study
of Turkish and Arabic in the hope Of
putting their knowledge to good ac-
coun. when the war is over. and he
says that German hopes in this re-
gard are not only exaggerated but
childless.
Prof. Junge's book, which Is the
first of a series to be brought about
by tho society that is studying the
eastern economic situation, also
contains warning against exces-
sive optimism on the part of Ger
many. Prof. Junge spent five years
investigating the Russian attempt to
Europeanize Turkestan and he warns
the Germans against repeating the
methods which Russia tried in that
part Of the Near East. The Russians.
be declared, had taken only Q AsF.
chants view of the opportunities
presented. They had worked the
market for all it was worth without
looking to the future. Occidental
fashions were introduced in order to
increase the demand for European
goods, and similarly, imports were
forced by other means. Long cred
it's we're extended that involved the
Russian merchant in the fate of the
native buying firms and he was fin
ally Obliged to squeeze the latter
for payment, with the result that
ruined. Valuable Oriental goods o.
artistic design were initiated by Eu-
ropean factories and sent into Tur-
kestan to displace the home product
In suggesting a commercial policy
for Germany in Turkey, Prof. Jung,
declared that Turkish business life
should be allowed to remain Turkish
instead of being made German. Ger
many, he said. should indulge in no
thought of making Turkey part Of
the German economic system. He
even favored a protective policy in
Turkeys behalf which should act
against imports from Germany as
well as those from other countries.
In making a number Of recommen-
dations for the reiuvenation OF Tr-
key economically, he said that one
essential was a far-sighted credit
system, with special reference to the
needs of farmers and other small
borrowers. Railways and highways
must be built extensively, agricul-
ture nationally reformed by means Of
experiment stations and model
farms. A typographical survey of all

Electoral College System Also Crit
cised by Newspapers.

New York. Nov. 1o.-The New York
Herald. in commenting today on the
Reelection OF President Wilson, said
that the result was decided by the
women voters in California. The edi-
torial continues:
TT is a national scandal that women
should be allowed to vote in some
States and not in others-that the Sc
lection of a President should be COM
mitted into the hand Of women voters
in one State or group of States when
women in other States are denied the
voting privilege"
Extracts from other editorials on the
election result follow:
American-"If the cumbersome and
antiquated electoral college were abol-
ished and the people voted directly
for Presidential candidates there
would be no prolonged uncertainty
about election results"
Times-"It was altogether and pure
ly an American choice. made for Amer
lean reasons upon considerations that
concern our affairs only"
World-"Again the American popIe
have received an impressive warning
that the electoral college is a menace
to the political stability OF the, United
States"
Tribune-"1t is relatively a minor
thing when the few hundred votes that
will decide the elecoral votes of Cali
fornia and Minnesota fall to Mr. Will
son or Mr.. Hughes The very fact
that these great Republican States
have been in doubt to this moment in
dicates the extent of the failure of
the Republican candidate and his
party and not less clearly the amazing
triumph Of Mr. Wilson"
