SALONIKI PEOPLE
CURIOUS MIXTURE
The City Is Literally Melting-Pot of
Humanity-The Market Place Is
Babel of Tongues.

Saloniki, April Is Correspondence of
the Associated Pressl The American
visitor finds here an extraordinary mix
ture of races, tongues, beliefs and Gus
toms. Saloniki is literally a melting
pot of humanity. No other city in the
world, unless it be one of the great
American centers, is so thoroughly eos.
mopolitan. Greeks, Mongols, Turks,
Slavs, Teutons, Italians and Europeans
mingle and each understands the Ian
guage of the other. The market place is
babel of tongues. The lowliest street
peddler speaks at least four languages
But these diverse races associate to-
gether only for business purposes. In
their religious beliefs, aspirations and
sentiments great gulf separates them.
Each has different ideal and distinct
viewpoint of life. In Macedonia all re-
ligions are tolerated Saloniki, or Thes-
saloniea, as it was called in early times
is said to have been the door by which
Christianity entered Europe. Indeed, de-
vout residents relate with pride that it
was here the Apostle Paul, after having
evangelical Syria and Asia Minor, came
to preach the gospel to the unbelievers
of Macedonia.
The money changer has been a fixture
in Saloniki from time immemorial. Dur
ing the war he reaped rich harvest on
the fluctuating value of the currency Of
the war-affected countries. The Amer
lean dollar was the only currency that
he could not buy at a profit 1t resisted
all the vicissitudes and varying fortunes
of the war and held steadily at 100 cents
when all the other money of the world
was fuctuating.
Saloniki is essentially Jewish city,
for there are more than 100000 Jews
who make their homes here. They con.
troll the bulk of the business. About so
per cent of them are Spanish Hebrews
whose ancestors were driven from Spain
by Ferdinand and Isabella in the 18th
century. To indicate the wide diversity
of other races, however, it is sufficient
only TO say that there are five Greek
newspapers, seven Spanish Hebrew, four
French, three Serbian, one Turkish and
one English, The lone English news
paper is published by the British army
for the use of its men in the Levant.

to the Thessalonians gospel of cleanli.

Of Self Determination I'm

FITNESS TO GOVERN

Manuel l.. Quezon, President
of the Philippine Senate,
Makes Statement

New York, April l9.--lmmediate in
dependence for the Philippines on the
double ground of the islands fitness fol
self government and their right to this
status under the United States war pol
icy guaranteeing the liberties of small
nations, was urged by Manuel L. Quezon
president of the Philippine Senate and
chairman OF the territory's mission tc
this country.
How could America give its recogni
ton, even it's assistance and cooperation
to the independence of Czecho-S lovakia
Poland and other submerged national
tiles, the senator asked, and withhold il
from Philippines He called attention
to his eountry's six years of self-rule
pronounced successful by supervising
American officials, comparing it will
the total lack of experience of some Of
the liberated republics.
Mr. Quezon voiced the Philippines zen
thusiastic approval" Of the league Of ma
tions, not only because of the need of al
international agency to curb militarisn
and protect peace-loving peoples, but be
cause Of his country's experience under
some of its features. He described as a
proud precedent" for the mandatory
idea contained in the league covenant
the unprecedented progress" of the Fill
pins under American suzerainty, an ad
ministration free from exploitation
This magnanimous treatment" he
continued, ''has made America what it !,
to-day in the eyes of the weak and
struggling peoples--the champion Of
their rights, the redeemer of their bond
age"
He saw no way open TO the United
States, consistent with her information
ally advocated principles, but to crown
with Philippine republic "the wonder
ful work" accomplished in the islands.
When America assumed trusteeship OF
the Philippines, "for humanity and civil
ization," Senator Quezon said, estab
lishment of a stable government was
made prerequisite to independence
This state had been accomplished, h,
said, in an archipelago governed in prac
tice wholly by native officials He cited
development of the educational system
by which within six years every child OF
school age would be given an opportu
nifty to study in classrooms where Eng
lish is the legal language the expansion
of foreign and domestic commerce anG
the increase in wealth. He mentioned
also the islands loyal support Of the
United States in the war, which he d,
clared was inspired by the same motiv,
belief in the principle of self-determi
nation-that had led Filipinos after tn,
defeat Of Spain to wage an unequal wal
rather than submit Internationally t.
American sovereignty"
With the Filipino people ready for in
dependence, the senator said the com
mission which he headed had been sent
to America in confidence that it would
be able to win for the country "a share
of the fruits of democracy's victory"
