A NEW TURKEY

England should realize, as the rest
of the world, that from the ruins OF
the Near East has emerged a new
Turkey. Like phoenix reborn from
come to life on the ash-covered plains
of Anatolia. Turkey has proved her
stamina. nation that can produce
q Mustapha Renal Pasha has the
same right to live as a nation that
can produce a George Washington.
And 1t can produce also, when need
ed, Monroe. The Turkey Of toda,
Is the Turkey of the real Turkish peo
pie, the simple peasants Of Anatolia
Nothing can prevent Turkey from
continuing on her road of progress.
The National government OF Angora
is a government Of the people. In the
midst of untold sufferings and diff
culties Turkey has organized new
form Of government, more democratic
than that OF any In the world. Even
the executive powers are In the hand
of the national assembly, whose mem
bers are elected by the people.
We have no animosity, no hard
feelings towards any one. If foreign
nations restrict their activities in our
country to the pursuit of commercial
and economic enterprises alone they
will better serve their own interests
than by following policy of greedy
Imperialism.
Let the foreign nations develop,
without any ultimate political or re-
ligious purposes, the economic re-
sources of the Near East; let them
develop these resources strictly on
business lines, and their cooperation
will be welcomed. But let them rec
ognize, once for all, that we have as
much right as any other nation in the
world to political, economic and spir-
itual Independence.
Let 1t be realized, finally, that only
when we remain the undisputed mas
ters of our own home will the Near
East become once more center OF
peace, civilization and culture.-From
