The commercial opportunities of new Turkey are em. bodied in the situation which is found here. If the new order in the empire i{s to succeed there will inevitably be | great changes in the life of the peo- tem.

Broadly speaking, the Asia Minor of today mirrors the times of the Bible. There has been little change in two thousand years. Upon great threshing floors, open to the sky, hand-reaped grain is threshed by oxen and flails, and winnowed by ‘tossing it into the air. Two women may still be seen grinding at a mill Instead of hotels the wayside khans are of the type which the beautiful Bethlehem story has made familiar to the world. About the roadside wells the herdsmen still gather their flocks, and women with jars draw the water. It is all primi- tive, pastoral, patriarchal. The next twenty-five years will transform the old order here, even as the like period of time has done in Japan. Why Americans Are Favored. Hitherto obligations and finances have gone hand in hand in Turkey's experience with foreigners. Conces- sions have had diplomatic significance. Simon-pure business has been kept out of the country to make way for the promoter who is supported by the offi- cialiom of some European govern- ment. New Turkey is tired of this. She must have money for internal de- velopment. Only by the inflow of for- eign capital and modern foreign meth- ods can the people be helped along the road which the government has planned for them. In their hour of need the officials are sincerely turn- ing toward America for help. 1 have been told directly by more than one cabinet minister as well as by minor officials, that since American capital- ists are not the forerunners of danger- ous governmental policies, they are the most welcome in this country. The Bagdad Railway. The Bagdad railway is an illustra tion of how business and diplomacy go hand in hand. The concession for this great highway has been secured by the Germans. It is a master stroke of policy. There is no exaggeration in declaring that this Bagdad railway is the most important bit of railway con- struction now under way anywhere on earth. It may be looked upon from several angles. Some persons see this line stretched from Berlin to Bagdad as a mailed fist shown in the face of India. Others regard it as an out- stretched hand for the golden com- merce of the far east. Others see in it only peril to the British and Rus- sian influence in Persia. The ordinary business man, who does not meddle with politics, is con- tent to note that it opens up the fer- tile plains of the Tigris and Euphrates to the German trader. Construction has already proceeded to Burgulu and’ before this winter is over it will be in operation well into the foot-hills of the Taurus mountains. There, engineering difficulties will Fold it for a few years but the Ciliclan end of the line is also being built. The maps of tomorrow will not ignore this new route over the mo# ancient highways of the world. But the railway is practically polit- ical, Germany says that if New Tur- key increases her taxes, as she means to do, the money must be applied to the building of the Bagdad railway. Great Britain and Russia declare that the taxes may not be raised if they are to be used for any such purpose. Between the contending forces of di- plomacy, poor Turkey is held at a standstill. Small wonder that she has looked favorably thus far upon the Chester railway project which is designed to open the eastern end of Asia Minor.

At this critical time there is danger that such abuses of the American name may injure the future of Ameri- can capital even as the infamous American railway concession in China brought the nation into a disrepute there from which it has only of late been recovering.
