Constantinople, Dec. 4—Turkish

houses, avoiding commissions and
other expenses. Large quantities of
flour, foodstuffs, automobiles, agricul
ture machinery and various manufac
tured articles are Imported by Turkey
from the United States and the Turks
believe that prices to consumers can
be greatly lowered by the elimination
, of Greek and Armenian Jobbers and

At tho conclusion of the conference
a national association of business men
will be formed and steps taken to c»
