At Smyrna last week fifteen Turks
We're hanged on the charge Of having
conspired to kill President Mustapha
Renal Pasha. Some of them were
well-known Turkish leaders of liberal
tendencies. Ii is asserted by Ameri-
cans and Europeans that some of
these executions We're, in fact, politi-
cal assassinations. More than 100
Turkish leaders are about to go on
trial on similar charges. 1t is signif-
cant that most Of these men have at
one time or another opposed the
Kemalist policies. There is a belief
in Constantinople that Renal IS
clearing a bloody path to unques-
toned dictatorship in Turkey and
that the old land of the Ottomans
will not be a republic, even in name,
for very long. kemal calls his policy
the policy of tranquilization." To
many Turks it is bringing the tran
guilty of the grave.

Late Afternoon, caroassonns


There are sheep in the meats
AS the sun goes down,
Grazing in the clover
With a peaceful sound.
Swallows in the white vests
Float among the towers,
The old walled sun dial
Has forgot the hours.
Out from the city wall
Down rocky way,
A ragged goose boy
Seeks the end Of day.
His grey geese chatter
And lift their heads high,
Over the battlements
Black bats fly.

Grazing in the clover
With a peaceful sound.
