Although Senator King said he had
not yet decided as TO his future atti-

careful study Of the situation in An
CORA, COnstantinople. kOnia and
smyrna have persuaded him that the
courts of law established by the Turk
ish government, under the provisions
of the Lausanne treaty, are similar
to the Cheka Courts in Russia and
that the terms of the treaty are not
being complied with in many other
ways.
Senator King said that it is evident
that all of the legations must move
from Constantinople 10 AngOra and
remain there, as Mustapha Kemals
government has abandoned COnstan-
tinople as definitely as the Soviet gov
ernment has abandoned LeninErad.

The opinion is quite general in the
Near East. according to Senator King.
that Russia and Turkey have secret
treaty relations which cause the
Kemal government to feel quite Sc
cure about the safety of the Black
Sea and the straits leading TO the
Mediterranean. Therefore the Turks
have no hesitancy about allowing the
city of Constantinople TO fall into de

The Germans are taking the lead in
the international bid for Turkish
trade, Senator King said. The Ameri-
cans are doing well in the tobacco
trade. but the Russians are endeavor-
ing to thwart the activities of Ameri-
can oil interests in Turkey.
In fact, Senator King said, Russian
influence is in evidence throughout
Turkey, and the Soviet government
apparently is extending its power
through commercial penetration. while
France, Great Britain and Italy
