Show WANTS UPPER HAND IN THE BLACK SEA AMSTERDAM, July 27. "Turkish policy pol-icy is at present entirely dominated by a desire to possess the upper hand in the Black sea," writes the Balkan correspondent cor-respondent of the Xieuwe Rotterdamsche Courant," and practically nothing else is discussed in the Turkish press and leading lead-ing political circles. "The proposal that the Russian fieet captured at Odessa and Sebastopol shall be handed over to Turkey. is warmlv supported sup-ported by the whole press ot the capital. The grand vizier told a deputation recently re-cently that the Porte was busy negotiating negotiat-ing with Germany, with a view to the realization of this universal national desire, de-sire, and that every effort would be made to that end." |
