The article presents information on various political developments around the world. The U.S. President Thomas Woodrow Wilson has received a note from Turkey. But Wilson's lips have been sealed hitherto by consideration for the oppressed races exposed to wanton brutality of their Turkish rulers. The Taryba, or State Council of Lithuania, elected under the control of the German army of occupation, chose as King Duke William of Urach. But the German government has declared that Lithuania had no right to select kings without consulting Prussia, and that the Taryba had been improperly elected and did not represent the population.

One is hard put to catch the historical mood of the moment in a world in which the only quiet and unchanging spot is the no man's land between the Maginot and Siegfried lines. Even that may no longer be true after some time. Indeed, a great many things may be changed soon. But some things are certain: returning to Turkey after an absence that coincided with the outbreak of the war and the signature of the Anglo-French-Turkish pact, the article author finds that the country has taken a turn in a very definite direction. Turkey today is not neutral. It is, like Italy and will be perhaps for as long as Italy-non-belligerent. To one who has been following developments in Turkey during the past few years there is nothing startling in this fact, particularly when one remembers that Turkey is pro-Ally but not anti-Soviet Union. Interesting revelations of the new mood in Turkey are found in the daily press.

The article discusses the raging conflict between the Turkish journalists and Turkey's Premier Adnan Menderes following the latter's wrath when he was circumvented by the press against his administration.

The article presents information about political developments from various countries. The latest news from Paris has reached the outer world in a most extraordinary way. A member of the Government of National Defence M. Gambetta, was the bearer of it. A severe fight, south of Metz, took place on the 3rd, several brigades being engaged on both sides but the sortie accomplished nothing definite. The wounded French were left, intentionally, on the field. On the following days some fighting and cannonading was carried on around the northern fortifications. Stories of Prussian cruelty and depredations were for a while confined to the Paris papers, whose very extravagance and absurdity, however, rendered their charges harmless. Stories of Russia's preparing for an immediate attack on Turkey, which were put in circulation last week, have disappeared.

The article focuses on changes in the Ottoman Empire. Founders of the Turkish Empire were a mere fraction of a Turkish tribe that had left Central Asia on account of Mongolian invasions, and sought a new home in Asia Minor. These people, aggregating only a few hundreds, brought discipline and a sense of justice and safety into the small territory they acquired, while everything, both under Byzantine rule and under the rule of Mohammedan Seljuks in Asia Minor, at that time, was easy-going, corrupt, and unsafe. Furthermore, the Turkish rule afforded opportunities for the recognition and advancement of talent and merit in a very large measure. Talented people, men with ideas, were glad to gather under the Turkish flag to begin a new life.

This article focuses on the political and social developments in various parts of the world.

The violence began in its present form 130 years ago. The Turkish Commissioner has arrived in Egypt, the Sultan's efforts to have the conference given up before he went having failed. The Powers refuse to give up the conference, and the Commissioner is to do the best he can in the meantime.

This article focuses on political situation of Turkey. Renovation of the dictatorship into a republic began some time before American aid under the President of the United States, Harry S. Truman, Doctrine was announced. Turkish leaders apparently started to think seriously of instituting democracy when it became clear that Adolph Hitler, a dictator of Germany, was going down to defeat. But less cynical reasons for shifting to popular government also existed. War-time controls brought grumbling against the regime in circles which had long been indifferent.

The article reports that the Turkish government has broken all economic and diplomatic ties with Germany in spite of a long German propaganda. The propaganda did half the work of keeping Turkey out of the war. It failed utterly to influence Turkey to come in on the German side as it did in World War I. But it is doubtful if the propaganda would have succeeded even -as well as it did had it not been for the course of military events. As allied victories mounted and the military threat on three sides receded, and as our own propaganda improved, the Turks moved toward the break with Germany that was probably inevitable from the beginning.

This article presents the appeal that has been sent by the Macedonian students in Sofia to the president of the Slav Union of Students at Prague. You have more than once heard of the bloody tragedy played in the recent past in the center of the Balkan peninsula, the victim of which was the Macedonian population, namely the Bulgarians. Scarcely freed from the spiritual yoke of Greece, the Bulgarians of Macedonia, deprived of political life, systematically ruined by the Turkish Government and the big Turkish land-owners.

In February 1945, a conference of the Arab states was held and a covenant signed. The signatories were representatives of the governments of Egypt, Iraq, Transjordan, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen. Each country was given a single vote in the organization, and place was left for a representative of the Palestine Arabs.

Its position is that this shipment is exceptional and that the policy of including unoccupied France within the blockaded area must continue.

The article gives information on various socio-political issues related to different parts of the world. A remarkable apathy characterized the more independent and intelligent members of the Democratic party during the spring and early summer. The Cretan trouble was growing in gravity so rapidly that it alone threatened the Turkish Empire when the recent riots occurred in Constantinople. Perhaps there is no class in the community concerning whose attitude towards the free coinage of silver so much doubt is felt as in the case of the farmers.

The article presents information on political developments around the world. It is a delicate situation in Turkey, with the responsibility for a massacre and civil war that has ravaged Macedonia rests upon the Mussulman conscience or upon the conscience of Christian nations that have deliberately permitted Macedonia to be turned into a shamble. It is to be noted that, the occupation of a territory for some five hundred years constitutes a pretty just claim to sovereignty. The article also discusses a presidential message delivered by politician William Howard Taft to the U.S. Congress and suggests the need for shorter messages in future.

This article presents information about political developments around the world as of October 28, 1939. No week since the period of pre-war crisis has produced a bigger crop of guesses and contradictory rumors along with some open confessions of total confusion. Great Britain's diplomatic victory in Turkey threatens to be offset by a colossal blunder in British policy toward India. Under other circumstances, the story of the "secret letter" sent by Colonel Edward M. House to Lloyd George might be dismissed as a joke at the expense of the Honorable J. Thorkelson of Montana, General Moseicy's and the Bund's favorite Congressman.

The base uses to which party managers are capable of putting culture, when they get a secure hold of it, is well illustrated by Mr. Cabot Lodge's article in the volume issued for campaign purposes under the title, "The Republican Party-Its History and Policies." The contrast between Russia and Turkey in their railroad policy is strongly marked. While Turkey controls fertile districts in which there seems to be a fair prospect of profitable traffic, no effort is made to develop them. Russia, on the contrary, is rapidly reaching out into Central Asia, and is coming dangerously near the Indian frontier of England.

The conjuncture of events in Greece, Turkey and Iran, all of them indicating great social instability, is strikingly significant. For they are precisely the three countries in which the cold war began in 1946 and 1947. It was in Iran in 1945-46 that the United States first perfected its get tough policy and helped to force the Russians out; and it was in Greece and Turkey in 1947 that the United States charted its commitment to an anti-Communist Europe in its first military-aid crash program, the Truman Doctrine.

Truman, showing him, several times life-size, holding his great charter in his hand.

The presence of the Turkish consul-general at a Zionist mass meeting in this city may be indicative of the new fraternal feeling among the different races of Turkey that has come with the new regime, without meaning that the outlook of the success of the Zionist movement has changed for the better. The protest which the Swiss Democrats addressed to the Bunderat, calls attention to the most important problem now before international tribunals.

Mustafa Kemal Pasha, the Ghazi, has been dead for two and a half years. His portraits, like shrines, still hang in every house, every schoolroom, every office, every restaurant, night club and hotel. It is not unusual for adult men to weep when they mention his name or glance reverently at the steel-blue eyes looking down from hundreds of thousands of gilded frames throughout Turkey. The Ghazi dreamed of a democratic republic for his people, but lack of education and appreciation of such a Western idea made the hope illusory.

The article discusses issues related to world politics. It also focuses on a recent publication related to French General Baron Thiebault. A week ago the Eastern question seemed about to receive an answer, but no one is wiser as to the final solution. Letters from England say that the British Government was decided to go ahead even if alone, and force a solution securing the reforms and the safety of the Christians of Turkey. The question, however, which appears subject to an adjournment, is one of those, which must inevitably be answered. The Turks of today must expiate the victories of their fathers and restore to Christian Europe what the fathers took from it; so decides historical justice, and people believe that Turkey will for no long time sign protocols as a European Power. A protest must be made against the new fashion of publishing memoirs piecemeal, one volume after another, at intervals often so long that the reader has some difficulty in finding the thread, which he was obliged to abandon. This method may be advantageous to the publisher, but it is rather irritating to the reader. Who would have thought, when the first volume of the memoirs of General Thiebault appeared, that so many others would follow it?

This article presents information related to socio-political issues in various parts of the world. Greece seems destined, by the sword and by diplomacy, to lose most of the lands of her aspirations. Asia Minor and Thrace have no sooner "gone Turkish" than Italy, with no better apparent excuse than the weakness of Greece, denounces the Italo-Greek agreement of 1920, and announces that she will hold the Dodecanese Islands in the AElig;gean Sea. Meanwhile even England seems to have abandoned her erstwhile good intention of returning the Greek island of Cyprus to the Greeks.

This article focuses on several socio-political issues. At the close of the Near East conference at London, England in February Greece uttered a loud note of defiance to both Turkey and the Allies. The treaty of Sévres had been modified in the interests of peace in the Near East, but Greece would have none of compromise. The British Embassy is sure that the report of the American Commission on Ireland is biased and misleading, and the charge is echoed by some of our wiseacres of the daily press. "The New York Evening Post" feels, for instance, that the language of the report is not judicial and is too bitter.
