Jwo Countries Striving to ake Business and Improv- § ing Armies and Navies. H BY A. R. DECKER. \‘rmpoldenm of Star and the Chicago 1ly News. CONSTANTINOPLE, Turkey, Octo- r 17.—Turkey and Greece are re- spming their old rivalry in the ar jast. Both countries are reorgani i8g their fleets and armies. Turk i4 purchasing submarines and is re fMting its fleet, sadly in need of re- pair after years of being made fast ng the docks. Turkey's army Is eady in good shape and well uipped. Duraluminium alrplanes e being purchased from France. his {s considered an error, as Tur- Yy has no means of making dur- afjuminium repairs. Greece has engaged a French mil- ifary expertl to reorganize its army, dpmoralized because of the frequent disturbances following the Anatolian dpfeat. Greece's small navy is in fair =Bape, but politics has so spread ong the officers that the real naval strength i{s not known. Neutral Area Maintained. $Apparently Turkey and Greece are ag friendly as could be expected con- sldering the ticklish matter of the efchange of populations which is Working havoe in both countries. 36-kilometer-deep no-man' #4 it is sald in Constantinople, will antee this neutral are er since Llovd George chose the ks as British standard bearers of trade in the Mediterranean defeat has accompanied every effort. Even Ith of the Constantinople nation and egonomic dominatio reece, de- feated in military campaigns, has aljvays beaten the Turks economically. The Turks are not business or ship- ping people. The Greeks are. Thus, when the million Greeks were driven from Smyrna and Asla Minor they 1qok with them the commerce in fruits and tobacco as well as the rug ustry. The refugees in Greece ade now making the rugs which for- mgrly meant much wealth to Turkey. : Take Shipping Industry. IThe Greeks also took the shipping fndustry with them when they left Censtantinople. The Turks made taxes 8o high and increased port cHarges to such an extent that ships sthp at Piraeus in Greece for cargo trpnsfers instead of at Constanti- ngple, which is fast sinking in im- pdrtance. Economic conditions are #d bad that even the Russians are Jefving. Part of this is due to the bdycott of Constantinople by the ent Turk government, which ishes to make Angora bloom in the desert. There are ill-founded rumors in Constantinople that Mustapha Kemal Pasha intends to try to capture Salo- nika from the Greeks, but the Turk- ish president declares he will not make war on Greece because his hqme happens to be in Salonika. It isitrue many of the leaders of the ndw Turkey come from Salonika and | itg vicinl Turkey seems satisfied is not impossible that the dream of domination will arise again. One of “We should have been in Co! nople long ago if Greece had republic.” But perhaps all this is forgotten. Greece will recover finan- clally from its defeat long before Turkey will be in shape. But as to defeating Turkey in the fleld, it is not probable that Greece, the repub- lic, will attempt what Qreece, the kingdom failed to do. (Copyright, 1924, by Chicago Daily News Co.)
