LONDON.-For almost 10 years
Turkish youth has been keeping
watch along the frontiers. For
four Of those years Turkey has
been under the strain of a war of
nerves waged upon her by a for
mer ally. Nevertheless, in a re-
cent visit to that country this
writer heard no talk of defeatism,
nor of exaggerated self-assurance
Peace is far away and uncer-
tain; war is far away and inevi-
table" This remark of the For
eign Minister, Necmettin Sadak,
summarizes the general Turkish
views Of the international situa-
ton. The Turks seem convinced
that in any new war the Middle
East would inevitably be a battle
field. If attacked they would
fight. and they believe that, al
though for the time being it has
not been possible to add Medi-
terranean pact to the Atlantic
one, the great Western powers
would rally to their help in good
time.
| Courage and faith, however, are
not enough. To be capable of re-
sistance Turkey needs modern
armed forces. Adequately reor-
ganized, re-equipped and retrained,
the Turkish army would be the
most effective means of keeping
peace In an area where so far no
other country can pretend to be
q military power. Today every
Turk over 20 is liable for military
service which, since 1887, has been

of the Nations cobalt supply,
important to the production OF
steel alloys and for gas turbine

livian tin exported to this
country totaled 83.5 per cent
in 1916. Almost all of the Ma

extended to three years. AS the
ANNUAL contingent numbers about
100 900 men At for military serv-
ice, the normal peace establish
ment Of the armed forces would
be about 100000. But since 1889
the Turkish Army has been par
TALLY modified: during World
War II it was believed to be 900,-
900 strong.
Theoretically the army consists
of 10 army corps Of three divisions
each.
| Foreign observers believe that
today the Turkish armed forces
number about 100000.
Even this is a heavy charge for
the Turkish budget, as more than
36 per cent of the national rev.
enue, which for 1949 is estimated
at $460, ,000. 900. is allocated to de-
fense; and the mobilization Of
able bodied men hampers agri-
cultural and industrial production
in a country which. although
three times larger than. Great
Britain. has only 19,000,000 in
habitants.
AS President Ismet Inonu re-
Gently stated, "All the damage
and exhaustion of armed conflict
are implied in war of nerves,
except the loss of life and destruc-
ton Of buildings" There is no
doubt that the cold war against
Turkey is also aimed at the i'm
poverishment of the country and
the creation of social unrest.

To this day the search for
Capt. Kidd's hidden treas
ure" has continued. Pirates
had no banks. They had to
cache their plunder in caves
or in the ground. Sometimes
they themselves forgot where
they slowed their loot.
Superstitions Persist
The next few years are ex-
pected to witness the greatest
treasure hunts in history. New
scientific apparatus will be
brought to play in an effort to
solve ancient riddles. Those
who seek Capt. Kidd's gold
must not only find the hiding
places, but must overcome
superstitions as well.
Legend has it, for example.
that a big dog, Aziel. guards
Capt. Kidd's treasure Gf there
Is any on Oak Island, Nova
Scotia.
Superstitious folk say Aziel
is a demon who guards the
treasure for Satan. Repeated
attempts to reach Kidd's cache
have failed.
At his trial. Capt, Kidd .ad-
mitted he had buried some
chests at GARDENERS Island, of
the north shore of East Hamp-
ton. Long Island. This treas
ure was recovered and the spot
is designated by a small marble
marker. Edgar Allen Poe Is
believed to have dug for loot on
GARDENERS Island on two occa-
sions. His mystery tale. THE
Gold Bug" is based on these
treasure hunts.
Poe is supposed to have de-
coded the first seven digits Of a
number reportedly left by Capt.
Kidd. The number is 44106818,
according to one authority.
The Gardiner family. which has
owned the island since 1889, has
vetoed all further search for
Kidd's treasure-with or with
out the magic number.
A hoax that has had wide
circulation since 1894 has led
to many treasure hunts along
the coast Of Maine. This story
claims that the Astor fortune
was founded on the discovery
of buried gold deposited by
Capt. Kidd on Deer Isle, e
Penobscot Bay. No matter nc
often the report is denied, the
are still plenty of people who
refuse to believe it's false.
. Chances are the search for
Capt. Kidd's treasure will con-
tinue for many years, II not for
centuries to come.

Pirate or Privateer.
People Still Look
For His Hoard
By Dovid A. Stein

NEW YORK.-Was Capt.
Kidd a pirate-or wasn't he?
Did he bury millions in looted
treasure-or nothing?
Historians still seek the an
swers. But the balladeers who
made Capt. Kidd the most IA
nous pirate in American his
tory had no doubts. They made
his life story a scenario for .
full-color extravaganza.
It had everything. including
a news peg based on Capt.
Kidd's arrest in Boston just

was one of many songs which
celebrated his deeds. The words
dripped with blood and roared
with cannon thunder. Wander
ing trouba dors popularized
them throughout the Colonies.
The lines, II murdered William
Moore, and laid him in his
gore" became as famous as the
later Jesse James ballad OF
"The dirty little coward who
murdered Mr.. Howard"
Started Treasure Hunts
The Capt. Kidd legend is
classic pirate lore. Supersti-
ton, mystery, murder. intrigue
and plunder are its elements.
For centuries hopeful treasure
hunters have searched in vain,
from the West Indies to Nova
Scotia, for his doubloons and
pieces of eight.
Researchers who have dug
deep into sailors logs, letters
and musty documents wonder
whether the fabulous swash-
buckler ever swung a vicious
cutlass or made any one walk
the plank. Many say he was
the victim of a political frame
up and never crossed the mar
row dividing line between q
privateer and a pirate.
William Kidd was born in
Scotland about 1645, and is be-
lieved to have been the son of
a Calvinist minister. Well edu-
Gated, he prospered as an
honest seaman. Eventually he
came to New York, in command
of an English privateer. His
marriage license was issued to
William Kidd, gentleman"
and he lived in a good house
and raised a family.
Capt. Kidd might have led
an uneventful life. had he not
met the crafty Lord Bellomont
in 1895. The ambitious Cover
nor of Massachusetts and New
York, Bellomont needed an
honest. able sea captain to head
a pirate-chasing and privateer-
ing expedition. Capt. Kidd, it
appears. didn't want the job.
The Governor. however, could
refuse clearance papers to
Kidd's trading vessels. He held
the aces-and won.
Legalized Looting
A company which included
King william III and a num-
Der Of English aristocrats
bought q ship and equipment.
Letters Of marque were issued
to Capt. Kidd. legalizing his
seizure Of French ships and
cargoes. England and France
were at war; Captain and
crew were to work on q no
plunder-no-pay" basis. Bello-
mont and his fellow sharehold-
ers hoped to gain huge profits
from captured loot.
What followed after Capt.
Kidd set sail aboard the Ad-
venture Galley has been a mat
ter of debate for two centuries.
Some say the only ships he
plundered had French passes.
Others say he turned pirate and
fraternized with the freebooters
he was supposed to capture.
Kidd himself says his piratical
crew mutinied against him and
deserted the ship.
