Robert E. Speer, Missionary,
Says People of Near East
Show Great Friendliness
to Visitors From L. S.

Robert Elliott spcer, author ard mis-
sionary secretary, with large expert
cnce in Far Eastern missionary work,
arrived here last night from the Levant
on the steamship Constantinople, Of the
Greek Line. He left New York last
summer to observe the missionary work
in India and Persia and the affairs Of
the Near East Relief in the Caucasus
He was accompanied by Russell Carter
and Henry H. Welles, who returned
with him yesterday.
Mr.. Spcer, who went over virtually
the same field twenty-five years ago
said that he had observed great
changes in the peoples and conditions
generally. He expressed unusual in
tcrest in Persia, where, he said, a great
opportunity awaited Americans who de-
sired to help Persia develop her re
sources.
"Wherever we went in The East and
especially in Persia and the Caucasus" :"
he said, 1--WE found an attitude of en-
traordinary good will and friendship
toward America. Persia is eager to en-
llst American interests in developing
It's resources. There is a great eager
ness that the Standard Oil Company
should accept the concession which the
Persian Parliament has offered it for
the development of all oil fields in the
i've northern provinces.
II was often supposed that we must
be representatives of the Standard Oil.

repeatedly what the standard Oil Com
pany intended to do and were uroed 70

clal and industrial enterprises TO come
to Persia"
Mr.. Speer said that Persia's natural
resources have hardly been touched
and from the oil wells that have
oecn opened in southwestern Persia the
Ahg'o-fefsian Oh Company has drawn
immense profits.
Ihere has been remarkable growth
OF religious federation since | was in
Persia twenty-five years ago" he said
due in part to the influence of the
PERSIAN constitution adopted in 1906,
IN part to the growing intercourse be-
tween Persia and Continental Europe
IN part to the general seepage Of lib
eral ideas throughout the world and
due IN large part also to the influence
OF the American missions, through
their churches, hospitals and schools
twenty-five years ago churches and
schools hardly touched the Mahome-
tan population of Persia at all Now
there are churches made up entirely OF
Christian converts from Mahometan-
ism, and more than half of the boys
and nearly half of the girls in the mis-
sion schools. which are the leading
schools in Persia. are from the most
influential Mahometan homes"
