MUSTAFA KEMAL
PARADOX, SAYS
HALIDE EDIB


epitomized the kind of government
he was setting up in 1920 in the
face of opposition from both Allies
and the Sultan, according to Madam
Halide Edib in her new volume Of
memoirs, 1.-THE Turkish Ordeal
which is published today by The
Century Co.
Halide Edib, who was closely as
ISOLATED with the present Turkish
dictator during the days when the
infant republic was struggling to
keep alive, says Eat Mustafa Kemal
openly avowed that in their position
there was no place for mercy, pity
and sentimental morality; that
scruples about breaking a promise
were a sign of weakness; and that
once you got hold of your enemies
there was but one thing to do
kill them. She expresses admiration
for his courage and inhexible lead
ership, but even in the days when
she was intimately associated with
him in defying the Allies, she says,
she perceivea the paradoXical ele-
ments in his character which later
led to the harsh dictatorship he later
established.
Mustafa Renal has peculiar
courage of his own, according 10
Madam Edib. He will stand up
right in the midst of firing when he
might easily take shelter, and he
has the dash and insouciance Of a
subaltern, yet he lacks the courage
to face mob. His is the kind of
courage which cannot survive with
out gallery. Halide Edib thus
characterizes the Turkish Mussolini.
"Mustafa Renal Pasha must be
considered as one of those human
beings who are abnormal morally.
Immoral he certainly was not; he
was merely amora. Those people
who professed moral ideals o.
claimed to adhere to austere stand
ards were to him either hypocrites
or, if there were a few who were
genuine and consistent, then they
were just fools. Although his Gym
impossible not to admire the en-
phatic way in which he attacked
shams. But the man was a paradox.
The very next moment one saw him
trying to establish other shams
which happened to suit his tempera-
ment better than the ones he had
displaced. But perhaps the most
characteristic element in Mustafa
Renal Pasha's makeup was his
complete lack of heart Pity, af-
lection, sacrifice were to him use
less weaknesses. Intelligence and
self-interest were what mattered i'm
the intricate scheme of human life.
But here again paradox. Mustafa
Renal Pasha was superstitious. He
ws deeply affected by omens. He
was constantly telling of the dreams
of his followers.
Mustafa Kemal's ascendancy is
due to his unbounded vitality more
than to any qualities of mind or
heart, says Madam Edb. zone
knew all the time that there were
men around him who were greatly
his superior in intellect and moral
backbone, and far above him in cul-
ture and education. But not one of
them could possibly cope with his
vitality. 1t was this alone that made
him the dominant figure. Take any
man from the street who is shrewd,
selfish, and utterly INSCRIPTIONS.
give him the insistence and histrion-
les of hysterical woman who is
willing to employ and vile to satisfy
her inexhaustible desire, then view
him through the LARGEST mapuifvinV

CLINTWOOD TO HAVE
ORCHESTRA.

Mr.. E. C. Smith, D. M. II. S.
Agriculture Instructor, has an
nounced his intention Of organlz
ing in C1intwood, school orches
ira. A number of local musicians
have already offered their ser
vices, and others who do not play
are securing instruments and get
ting down to work, striving to
learn to play them by January
list, the date set for the organic
alton of the orchestra.
Mr.. Smith has been very sue
cessful elsewhere in organizing
school bands and orchestras, and
we are sure he will succeed here.
An orchestra would mean a lot
to Clintwood, These little Satur-
day night dances, so popular
everywhere, could then be pos
sible in Clintwood, without hav.
ing to engage the services OF
some out-of-town musicians, and
the dramatic performances, fire.
ouently given by the school Wou-
ID certainly be lots more interes
ting with the addition OF some
high-class muse. The citizens OF
orr fair city would, without dou-
bt. turn out en- nasse to witness
a,-parformance when the orchest-
:
ra is home-talellt.
Everyone, regardless Of sex or
station, who plays an Instrument
or wishes to play one, is urged
to see Mr.. Smith at once, and lets
all of us back this ENTERPRISE anc
make it a real ClintWood success.

his coming with the utmost
pleasure. Dick Lewis and his
players will always find a wei
