The allies pursued their policy of carrying out rotten treaties, the Moslems have seen the Uhristjan thieves quarreling over the war loot and now the final stage in the great poker game has been reached. “The allies have been bluffing. Turkey has called the bluff and the allies must hack down. “Veiled war between France and England has been going on in Asia Minor for months. Italy has played both ends against the middle. The l urk now has no respect or fear for the western powers. The Moham medan has seen that Christian thieves cannot stick together.” Stoddard went to a book-shelf and took down a copy of his “New World of Islam.” “Listen to this quotation from a speech by Lloyd George,” Stoddard said. “On .Jan. 5, 1915, the British prime minister made the following declaration; ‘nor are we fighting to deprive Turkey of its capital or of the rich and renowned lands in Thrace which are predominantly Turkish, in race.'” “That was the pledge of Lloyd George. In that same year, when allied, statesmen were talking about self-determination,’ they were draw ing up secret treaties dividing Tur key among the allied powers. “Now what is the situation? On one side we have the quarreling thieves. England, France and Italy are split by dissention. On the oth er side is Mustapha Kemal, shrewd and able, and surrounding him a body of capable men and women. “One of the important factors in Turk success has been Halide Han um, feminist leader of the national- USE THE OLD Onurr >ll Dn.»gßi«t«, or sent |»rr|mid by V Williams Mfg, Co.

If the nations of Western Europe continue to treat Turkey as they are now doing and have done, they will drive it into the arms of the Soviet—fa* they will drive Germany if France carries on her present tactics. “Neither Germany nor Turkey want to turn Bolshevik but the allies may force them to take the step. Islam doesn’t want to go over to Russia. It is fundamentally a sys tem of authority. .“As for America, I believe this na tion should mind its own affairs. We should interfere in no manner what soever. It is certainly most fortu nate that we did not take over a mandate for Asia Minor as many were urging at one time.” “Should Venizelos be restored to Power aS former Ambassador Oscar Straus urged?” “My suggestion is that we leave Greece alone. Other nations have been using Greece as a football long enough. Let the Greeks decide how and by whom they shall be ruled. The immediate cause of the disturb ance is that the allies put the Greeks into Smyrna. Greece had not a shred of right to be there.” C. &. O. MEN TO RETURN. RICHMOND.
