THURSDAY, JANUARY 8, 192¢ | TURKEY VIEWED AS FUTURE HOPE OF COMMERCE J, P. Jackson Tells Rotarians of Significance of Reading and Roman Alphabet WORLD WAR AWAKENING Y Worker Has Leavened Mass | of Ignorant Coolies; Turk Learns By Latin ABC's In all the field of commerce and industry there is nothing so full of promise for American business as the adoption by China and Turkey of western ideals and education, J. P Jackson thought in his review—at the Rotary club luncheon, Wednesday—of 1928 in commercial lines. He espe- cially stressed the educational move- ment. started in the World war, by which Chinese coolies are being taught to read, and the adoption by Turkey“of the Roman alphabet, dis- carding the cumbersome Arabic script. ““I wish to digress from the more material things,” he said, “and speak of the great future that is opening for commerce and industry through the awakening of China and Turkey by giving these people the means by which their masses can express their ideas in simplified and intelligible Writing. “During the world war, when the ¥. M. C. A. called for volunteers to work in the Chinese labor battalions in France, a Chinese student at Yale university offered his services and was | consigned to a camp of 5,000 coolies at Toulon. Among the hard con- ditions that he confronted was the fact that these men were illiterate. This cut them off from receiving or sending any home news and it kept! them in ignorance of what was going on in France and the world. One Man Starts Big Thing “Young Yen when in his own land, had never worried over the fact that only about one-fifth of his fellow countrymen could read or write, but set in the midst of such dense ignor- ance, he realized its meaning and in the spirit of young China and Christ, he resolved to find 2 '. “From the 40,000 written characters which make up the Chinese , he selected a few hundred which ex- pressed the ideas and experiences of these laborers.

For them he pub- Mbhed a little camp newspaper, giv- ing home news and other items of interest. It was eagerly read. “Other Chinese Y secretaries intro- duced Jimmy Yen’s methods in other labor camps, until it was fully demon- strated that illiteracy could be routed by comparatively-simple methods. «= f° “With the need of the world ear, came an epoch-making idea, that what had been done in France could be done on an immensely large scale Capitol Theatre Mr. and Mrs. *.

Parker Gilbert, agent general for repara- tions, arriving today on the Beren- garia for his annual holiday visit, smilingly protested that “German criticism of his report on reparation payments must be based on a hasty and incomplete reading of the text.” “A German text of the report is not yet available,” he said. “If it had been, I believe, the comments in {the German press would have been different.” On all other subjecis having to do with his job as agent general for re- paration payments, the smiling young {man who is credited with having {more authority over German govern- mental financial policies than the Kaiser ever had, was consistently and genially uncommunicative.
