TURKISH SUICIDE

The greatest and cruelest exodus of modern times
is in progress in Turkey. Greeks and Armenans are
fleeing by the hundreds of thousands, to seaports OF
the BLACK and Aegean Seas into Syria and Mesopotah-
Ia and Persia and across the Caucasus Mountains.
They go hurredy, with what few belongings they can
carry hungry cold povertystricken, sick and nope
less.
1t is a substitute for the usual Turkish massacre.
The Turks in a fit of extreme natonalsm are eXll-
ing them to make Turkey 100 cent Turkish lgnor-
ing the fact that the ancestors of many OF these
exes were there before the Turks themselves arrived
It is deed of indefensible barbarty, but 1t car
ries its own penalty. The Turks, primitive race OF
peasants and soldiers hate and envy these other races
because the latter highly developed mental
Nv and more successful in business and IN the arts ana
professions Nearly all of the business and profession
al life in Turkey has been in the hands of the Armen-
ians and Greeks.
The Turks, in their centuries of occupation, nave
never developed into really civilized peoples They
have merely governed by military despotlsm Ar
menians and Greeks, though subject peoples have
maintained an economic government OF mental SUI
premacy. -
When these people are gone, then, there will GER
tainy be great slump in Turkish life and prosperity
1T is nconcevabe that the Turks get along econ
omically without them. Turkey is booming herself to
"a tribal reverson by this very act of eliminating her
most useful residents
This deliberate suicide of the Turkish nation may
furnish some slight comfort to the martyred eXes as
they drag themselves away.

OF 5000 citizens of the United States who visited
Geneva last summer, 1000 visited the League head
quarters Many of them amazed to find how
many American experts in various fields engaged
in League of Nations business.
The time may not yet be ripe for official co-opera
