B areas OF 1TALIAN INFLUENCE [B) AREAS OF FRENCH INFLUENCE Italy's sun is rising rapidly over the eastern Mediterranean as a result of treaties among the Fascist State, Greece, Tur- key, and Russia. The Ilatest agreement, signed by Ismet Pasha (right), Premier of Tur- key, and Benito Mussolini, com- pletes an Italian chain of in- fluence which has drawn some criticism from French sources and caused misgivings in Paris. The map shows where French and Italian interests lie around the big inland sea. to conclude that Italy intended to use Turkey as go-between to Rus- sia, but the interpretation here is that Ttaly, Russia and Turkey are “getting together” commercial way. Pacifist money running soviet machines on Kemalist soil to pro- duce cotton, silk and coal for the benefit of all three regimes may be one of the political anomalies of this economic rapproachment. Turkey is not only an Asiatic and Mediterranean country but also is Balkan one. The treaty there- fore will assure Italio-Turkish col- laboration in the Balkans, whera Italy's political interest is acute. A further and equally important point is that of the eastern man- His Hat in Ring Aspiring to the seat of Governor Henry H. Horton. Lewis I.

SOVIET DRAWS HOARDED GOLD FROM CITIZENS By STANLEY P. RICHARDSON MOSCOW, July 19.—By exchang- ing its best export quality food and | merchandise for hoarded valuables the soviet government has found a way to get gold which in the pas! it could not obtain by force. In previous years, ft was a crime for any soviet citizen to have gold in his posession, particularly roubles of the czarist regime. But many persons, especially peasants, hid their precious metals. “Torgsin” Magic Word Faced in recent months with increasing demands for gold with which to meet foreign obligations, the government threw open the doors of “Torgsin” to all owners of the yellow metal O'Grady lived for a time in Cor- dova, Alaska, | “Torgsin” is a chain of stores (Continued on Page Three) especially in a | jdates and Musselman develop- |ment. Under Kemal Pasha Tur- \key sprang up from the bed of “the sick man of Europe™ The other Musselman states would like to do the same. Irak will soon have her inde- pendence. Syria, the French man- date, and Palestine and Trans- | Jordania, British wards, probably will have it eventually., Italy is warmly sympathetic with these as- | pirations. French newspapers say Ttaly {wants profit for herself at the ex- pense of Turkey. But spokesmen | here aver that Ttaly wants a strong Turkey with whom she can work in maintaining the peace of the eastern Mediterranean.
