SEES DOOM OF TURK
UNLESS HE IS AIDED
Former Bulgarian Minister Says
He Has Been DisIodged
From Europe

By Associated Press to Every Evening.
Willianstown. Mass. Aug. fG.--Not
only is Turkey i'm Europe thing OF
the past but Turkey In Asia will share
the same fate unless the Turks
pocket their national pride and allow
foreigners 10 assist them in the work

former Bulgarian minister 10 the
United States. said in lecture before
the Institute of Politics at williams
College todLfy.
After tracing attempts made by the
Turks themselves to bring about re-
forms NJ. panaretoff said:
Whatever notifications may be
made In the actually exciting terri
torial arrangements of what was for
meriy called European Turkey, IL is
not to be presumed that the Turkish
authority will be re-estabIisbed there.
.in Asia Minor there is still quite
a large area of territory left to the
Turks where their authority will be
maintained. In this territory there
will be considerable number of
Christians who need to be protected
against misruie and arbitrariness and
their civil and political interests safe
guarded.
If the Turks, taught by the catas-
trophe that has befalien their empire.
wish really TO preserve within their
power what is left Of ii, they should
frankly and sincerely apply TO Europe
for help 10 reorganize. For them TO
imagine they will be able to work out
a Turkish civilization or a Turkish
reformation on Pan-Islamic or PAN
Turanian principles is deIusion."
Angora, Anatolia, Aug. 16.-The
Turkish Nationalists have accepted
the revised agreement with France,
subject to certain slight alterations. it
was announced today. The text of the
agreement was not made public.
fThe Turkish Nationalist assembly
