The chief reason is that ap parently she ucted her wars 1914 with the strictest ¢ Angora or National government, which has been fighting the Greeks and holding off the Allied P'owers since 1919 has resisted the temptation to print up any new money The total pre-war including the charges that against her at Lausanne peace to pay dam- | en an aetive has ¢ sines The present and war debt of Turkey may be set or in any treaty of nges to foreign nati 1o run harely above This sum is regarded ow when it is remembered that, by way of comparison Irance owes the United States a war debt of $3,400,. 000,000, and Germany owes the Alli approximately $34 Luropea From a European point of view the interest in Turkey is partly political especially in war times, and largely financial in peace times, American in- terest also has heen directed toward Turkey in the past few years with her tobacco crops, if nothing else, be- iug bought up by American firms An analysis of Turkey's finances | shows she became as ridiculously ministers had contracted unproductive foreign loans, In 1881 Abdul Hamid, in order to satisfy these loans, turned over the salt and other monopolies to an institution known as the Public Debt, to be directed by foreigners un- | til their debts should be paid. In one way or another Turkey owed abroad in 1914, 1 100,000 Turkish pounds. This unit a pre-war value of $4.46. Also she had a fund- ed debt of 000,000 Turkish pounds. Of the foreign debt, rough- ly the equivalent of $800,000,000, France held 60 per cent, Germany 21 per cent and Great Britain, Holland and Belgium about 19 per cent, Turkey's Expenses, Turkey's war debt expenses have been described as “the most amazing thing in the history of world war fi- nances.” She ran her war on a shoe- string. When the army needed any- thing, it scems to have been either requisitioned from the civil population or else the army simply went without it. And this army often numbered 1,- 000,000 men, In 1915, there was one internal loan of 18,000,000 Turkish pounds (about $79,000,000 at the ex- change of that time). Then there was| a paper money issue of 154,581,400 Turkish pounds, secured by German government treasury bonds, payable 15 years after the war. Certain sup- | plies in limited quantities were bought | in Germany. These figures have a distinet bearing on the future for those Americans, or others, who wish to live or do busi ness in Turkey. According to one American financial expert who has travelled all through Turkey, as rarely do the majority of foreign visitors, if Turkey secures a stable political government and if she frees herself from foreign control, there is no reason why she cannot| intensify her agriculture and prosper. Needs Few Loans Strange as it may seem to the casual observer of the course of post- war nations, this expert asserted that Turkey needs but little foreign money | | or loans. Her's is & problem rather of a sound domestic policy encourag- | §§ ing the creation of domestic capital through better banks the opportunity | for proper land mortgages, and pro- gressive agriculture. | Many Americans in Kurope are watching keenly the trend of politics leading to a peace with Turkey. If new Turkey gets the peace she damands and if the Angora men of the steady sort, such as Mustapha Kemal Pasha and General Ismet Pasha, keep con- trol, it is belicved Americans will do better in Turkey than any other na- tionality. These Turks take the point | of view that those who are not for them are against them, and they have been made to feel, during the four years that Admiral Mark L. Bristol | has been U. 8. High Commissioner in bankrupt in 1874,/ 8 after foolish Sultans and their corrupt | § Constantinople. that they were not friendless when dealing with Ameri- cans. The Turks of Angora have repeat edly declared they understood clearly | their future prosperity depended on agriculture, on the surface of the land, and the application of modern farming meethods. There are mines and foresk® in Asia Minor of consider- able prospective value, but these they feel can Wait.
