Show Unspeakable Turks No Match for Foreigners In Real Profiteering t By Associated Press.) CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 30. For-1 eigncrs. or so-called foreigners, are, enjoying great commercial prosperity I In Turkish cities, especially In Constantinople Con-stantinople Turkish officials have been asily corrupted. Business men, who were not too scrupulous In 'heir methods have found Turkej a proiita-, I ble field. In spite of all tho propaganda which j has bsen circulated about the appro-1 1 prlatlon of Christian property by Mo-, hammedans, the stubborn fact remains that Greeks and Armenians own a dls- proportionate part of the best business property on the prominent streets in. Constantinople and many of them have I been more successful at war profiteering profiteer-ing than Turks. The leading hotel of Constantinople is owned by a Greek who made a i great fortune selling supplies to the; German army. He has Invested his money in hotels In various parts of Europe The Constantinople hotel con him 8860,000 B year ago. In a slni,-l" year the hotel has paid for Itself. He charges $S a day for a small sin- ; gle room without bath and the cost, , of meals Is in proportion. The only; other hotel run on European lines Mi owned by an Armenian, and his prices' I arc equally high. 1 FIX PRK I s Turkish officials are not permitted! to regulate prices The Germans did It when they were In control of Con-j Btantlnople. Hut the entente hlsh' commissions make little attempt to ' check profiteering because such ef-1 forts only Intensify the friction which exists between the various missions. ; Constantinople is really a group of 1 religious principalities, which are more ! political than religious, and aeknowl-, edge the authority of no government, Greeks are under their patriarch, thej various religious faiths of the Armenians Ar-menians have their patriarchs, and tho Jews have a grand rabbi All those I races hate each other nearly as much apparently, as they do the Turks. Westerners are unable to comprehend the hatred In which the rival nationalities nation-alities of the Levant have stewed for centuries. Entente high commissioners commission-ers now have some appreciation of the task Turkish offlcias had in trying to administer such mixed popu ttlons M Y DIPI EK1 M ET1 FU HES Every nationally has to have Its own Churches, its own schools, orphanages and hospitals. Even small children of different nationalities cannot be put together without serious friction. American relief workers who have been trying to assist refugees of all races, regardless of religion, find the task almost impossible Armenians complain if Turks are fed. Greeks allege favoritism to Armenians and the relief committees of th various races and religious heads take up the walls of individuals and waste tho time of relief administrators In considering con-sidering petty quarrels. Broadly speaklnc, foielrtn relief workers have little to say for the adults of any race In Turkey, but pin their faith to tho children und uri;e child welfare work and education educa-tion as the most hopeful fields In this land of hate Foreign rollef workers who came to Turkey expecting to find gentle Christian minorities had a rudo awakening. The Greek and Armenian bandits and outlaws arc Just as wild as the Mohammedan bands Relief workers have learned that "Christian" means a man who is not a Moslem. It Is a political term, and does rot i i u ssarlly imply that the man sm dOS ignated practices the ten commandment command-ment v. |
