\ Pertinent Question

a CCORD1NG to figures obtained from
4 Turkish representative at Paris Kamcl
has under arms more than 100000 troops.
This estimate is scaled down slightly by
various other persons possessing some ia
miliarity with the strength of the National
lists. hut even the most conservative guesses
place the total at approximately 100000.
This is not recently recruited army Per-
laps II Is larger now than before. but the
Nationalist chief has been directing a for
midable, seasoned--and well-equipped-
army for at least two years. Moreuvcr. that
army has been in action, engaged in an
expensive campaign
ADram Elkus. former ambassador to Tur-
Key. raises Il pertinent question In this con-
heciion. 1T would be matter OF interest
to know who is behind the Turks" he rc-
marks When left Turkey" MIR. Elkus
continued. 1T was in state Of financial
rum ana collapse. II had no revenue
worthy of the name. II anything the con
dtion Is worse now" He places little
credence in the suggestion that Russia has
been the source OF very material aid. and
ventures this comment: We'll may Senator
Borah demand that the allies who are ask
ing us to cancel thei- debts to America
cease supplying armies ,t.h the necessary
funds with which to wa.a war before they
nave right to ask us for this relief"
Mr.. Elkus Calls no names. but il Is not
nara to guess the identity of the powers he
mas In mind. 1t is very easy to identify ono
country articularly-France-as party
10 one OF the darkest and most dangerous
transactions OF recent times Nothing Is
palmer than that Turkey has been en-
couraged and substantially aided In this
war against Greece. Whether that aid is
now to he withdrawn, is quite another ques-
ton. The campaign for Turkish recovery
mas thus far been financed from the out
side, and the suggestion of Mr.. Elkus that
IL might be question for the league OF
nations to investigate" is timely

Virginia until after the session of the Cen
eral Assembly in 1924.
In the first place there could be no i'm
propriety In such action. A Democratic
state convention in 1901 made the conven-
zion then proposed a party issue. and 1t
was accordingly carried at the polls. In
vacation Of the State convention, the com
mittee is expected to outline the party
policies.

Victions at the polls In November. The
adoption of the resolution would simply be

present General Assembly. if called into
extraordinary session by the Governor and
IN the event the chief executive should
transmit to that body favorable vote on
the proposition in the November election,
to defer any action thereon until tho next
regular session. This would accord with
the understanding everybody had when the
Dill Tor submission was passed last spring
Ihird. the committee must realize that
the state is not ready for a convention, al
though important amendments to the Con-
stifution are needed The newspapers and
the public men OF Virginia are to all ap-
pearances profoundly Indifferent to the
proposition. Practically no one expresses
any opinion; there has been no discussion
OF this most important question The pub
nc mind Is in state OF unrest and shows
no indication OF that settled Judgment and
conviction on fundamental questions so
requisite for formation of government
