 Opportunities Are Great.
 "Constantinople now has an made quate system to provide substantial harbOr craft for use in the waters around COnstantinople. People living on the other side of the BOsphorus lack sufficient facilities for committing to Constantinople.
 'The development of roadways on the European side of the BosphoruS is another matter for business enter prise. If the BosphOrus is not the most beautiful body of water in the world, I should like to know where it is to be found. A proper driveway along the shores of the Bosphorus would rather tax the memory of world-trav- eler to recall anything more charm ing.
 Opportunities foRr rhousebuilding and  other forms of construction are open in the other cities of the Levant as well as in COnstantinople. There is widespread need for railroad construc- ton and rehabilitation while at the seaports modern docks and wharves and up-to-date freight handling equip ment must be provided.
 "The Levant should become a grow ing market for American machinery and manufactures of all kinds. I'm portations from the Levant must be stimulated, too, in order to improve the exchange and credit situation so that the Near East can buy more from America. Tobacco, licorice, valonia, altar of roses, raisins, entrants. dates figs, goatskins, hides, furs olive oil. long-staple cotton, rugs, carpets, and oriental Objets dart are among the imports coming into the United States from the Levant. It will be the aim of the American chamber of commerce for the Levant to help establish trade connections between responsible mer- chants on either side of the ocean, and to furnish all possible informa- tion and assistance to those engaging in trade in this field"
