TO her why the good way, the sweet

BY MILTON BRoNNER

CONSTANT1NOPLE-One OF the
great political, commercial and eco
nomical grab games of the world is
being played in this city by the var
ious European powers.
The nation which is trusted by the
Turks is the United States, and the
one man who is insisting upon the
open door. with equal rights for all
and special privileges for none, is
Rear Admiral Mark L. Bristol,
American high commissioner here,
also in command of the United States
naval forces in the Near East.
Under the treaty of peace with
Turkey, the allied powers are in
charge of Constantinople until its
fate is finally decided. This means
that the representatives of Britain,
France and Italy virtually rule the
place.
The allies have about 16,0 troops
here. to say nothing of considerable
naval forces in the waters around

police he left this city about mid
night Saturday to drive to Washing

two young white men, apparently
not over 80 years old. walking along
the road, he said. They asked for
a ride. and not suspecting anything

says, and ordered him to throw up
his hands. The other man quickly

To come into Constantinople you
have to have a visa on your pass
port from one of these three nations.
You have to report to them upon
your arrival and you have to have
their visa in order to leave.
But that is only a small matter.
The big matter is that they are try
ing to sew up for their nations all
the commercial good things in the
way Of mining. oil, banking and rail-
road concessions, not only here
abouts. but also in the possessions
that still remain to Turkey. And
there is keen rivalry between them.
Amid this welter Of conflicting and
selfish interests. Admiral Bristol
stands firm. From the material
standpoint, he only has a small force
six destroyers and a few submarine
chasers-but he has made himself
felt by his insistence upon the Amer
lean viewpoint.
Bristol was sent here by the Will
son administration. but. singularly
enough. here in "Constan." as the
Europeans here call it, our high
commissioner worked out and pro-
claimed the very policy that Presi-
dent Harding's administration has
enunciated. Bristol said we were
not at war with T turkey and that the
other allied powers had acquired
neither before nor since the armi-
stice any special privileges which ths
United States would recognize, II
those privileges sought to interfere
with the previous rights and oppor
/ tunities Of our business men.
He would agree to nothing an'
sanction nothing which sought t
confer special rights upon Britons
Frenchmen and Italians. but Away
has made a strong reservation ol
behalf Of our country.
Not only are the Turks grateful
for this attitude. but they remembe
that before the war Americans wer
chiefly interested here in educationa
and philanthropic work. American
dollars are still being poured in her
for those purposes.

Also said the director he was de
lighted to see the cordial relations

a laugh from those who recalled
