have received similar citations
from many citizens.
The Administration postage
bill proposes to keep the pres
ent 1l2-cent differential be-
tween first and third-class
letter mail. I believe that we
should eliminate this differen-
tial by abolishing the third
class category. This should
be the first step in any postage
increase.
Frank e. Smith,
Representative From
Mississippi.
I appreciate the criticism
leveled at me by RS. in his
letter Of May /. He challenges
my statistics and conclusions
about the extent Of the di-
rect mail industry and the
probable effect Of the Sum-
merfield rate bill on hundreds
Of thousands Of small business
concerns which use third class
mail to advertise and sell their
products.
In a way. RS. has put his
finger on the heart Of the.
issue. Through default I have
become the expert on this
problem. When inform Con-
gress, the executive branch,
the press and others Of my
belief that a 1907 mail rate
increase will probably have
disastrous effects-based on a
study of thousands Of actual
case histories-there is no one
who can factually challenge
the belief.
At my request the House
Post Office Committee called
In the man who should have all
the answers - Secretary Of
Commerce Weeks-but that
spokesman for business in the
Cabinet had to admit his de-
partment had no data on the
subject. In fact, his answers
revealed that he was not aware
OF the existence Of this $l6-
billion sales medium.
II RS. or any other person.
IN or out Of the Government,
has better information on the
subject than this writer, the
House and Senate postal COM
mittees are anxious to receive
1t. Until such persons come
forward. the Congress must
choose between my informed
guesses and the unsupported
beliefs" Of the Postmaster
General.
Third class mail has existed
since 1863. Because 1t has be-
come such a successful adver-
tising-sales medium. news
papers have singled it out as
a whipping boy. hoping thereby
to eliminate a successful COM
petitor. RS. implies that third
class mail is subsidized but he
carefully avoids reference To
the department figures quoted
in my letter which shows this
category of mail making a
profit for the postal establish
ment.

Cyprus and the Turks
5NINGlON STAR

In your issue Of April %.
you carried an article by Metin
Ergin. a Turkish newspaper
man in the United States, CIV
ing his views on the Cyprus
problem.
While I have no desire to be
drawn into a public debate on
the merits OF Mr.. Ergin's argu-
ments, I would like to express
some disappointment at the
fact that the principle of self
determination, which is one
Of the cornerstones Of our
democracy, should be so We
hemently opposed by a repre-
sentative Of the public opinion
Of a country which prides it
self on being a democracy, and
which availedt itself to the
fullest extent Of this very
same principle in the case of
the Sanjak Of Alexandretta.
I should also like to indicate
that some of Mr.. Ergin's points
are either wholly irrelevant or
highly inaccurate.
Thus. his contention that
past ownership justifies the in
terest displayed by Turkey in
the future Of Cyprus seems to
me to carry very little weight
indeed If one considers the
fact that many independent
nations in the world, including
the United States. have been,
at one time or another, sub
jected to foreign or colonial
domination, some Of them for
longer periods than Cyprus.
The Turkish position is fur
ther weakened by the fact
that, in 1878. Turkey practi-
cally and actually sold her in
terest in Cyprus when she
coded possession and admins
tration Of the island to Great
Britain for an annual tribute
Of approximately $4,000
pounds in gold.
Mr.. Ergin further asserts
that 81 per cent Of the land
area in Cyprus is owned by
Turks. According to the an
nual report Of the British adj
ministration on Cyprus for the
year 1884. the total urban real
estate property was valued at
3.236.622 pounds sterling. Out
OF this total. the value of prop
erty held by Greek Cypriots
was 2,449.472. or 75.6 per cent;
and the value of Turkish prop
erty was els, $50 or 10 per cent.
On the other hand, the total
rural property had an esti-
mated value of l3.O7l,842
pounds sterling. OF this total,
Greek-held property was val
ued at l0.750.284. or 1922 per
cent. and Turkish-held prop
erty was estimated at 2,0l2,8l6,
or l5.4 per cent.
Finally. the 1916 census on
the distribution of farm hold
ings according to size-and
here again British figures are
being used-shows that 80 per
cent Of all arabic land was
owned by Greeks and only 20
per cent by all other national
tiles combined. including the
Turks. This leaves better than
AZ per cent Of Mr.. Ergin's
claim accountable to his mag
nation.
I can understand that, in
his desire to present a plausi-
BILE case for Turkey, Mr.. Ergin
should have succumbed to the
temptation Of stretching a
point or two. But utter disre-
gard for historical and statistic
cal truth, while perhaps indie
alive Of the writer's strong
convictions on the subject, has
never contributed in the least
to a serious discussion of in
ternational issues.

Greek Member Of Parliament
and Former Minister for FL

Mr.. Abel led the four OF dia-

At trick three he led another
