"We resent the purported interview v. i . ? eby i h Postmaster t louerai ? ? .-i id t o ha' - -';?!ed : 'Ii makes no difference to the farmer what time hi gets his mail.'

Not even a disastrous fire, which ' destroyed the right wing-; of the NC-1 anel part of the tail group of the NC-1, , will delay the start.

Nor will the fatal accident to a flying boat of the HS-1 type, which killeel two men within a few yards of Commander Towers, dampen the spirits of the transatlantic crews, or delay their, start.

Britain May Get Mandate Over Turkey Powerful Influences Seeking to Preserve Integrity of Constantinople I" n <1 e r Protectorate Like Egypt New York Tribu..* Special Cable. Service 'i'.-;? right. 1919, Sew Vorn Tribuno Inc.) PARIS, May 6.?Despite the desires of the Armenians that the United ; States assume a mandate over the district of the Armenian slate, ami i the wishes of Lloyd George, Balfour , and Sir Robert Cecil that the United States accept a mandate for the ter ! vitorics of the former Turkish Em? pire, there are powerful influence.? 1 behind the scenes of the peace con? ference at work to preserve the in? tegrity of Turkey and her position ns a European power, with a seat at Con? stantinople, under some form of Brit 1 ish protectorate similar to that of. Egypl before the war. It is fei: here by those who are in? teresting themselves it: the Near East: that these influences will have great weight in the determination of the ,' fate of Turkey in the treaty which the Allies will negotiate after the German treaty is off the boards. U. S. Experts in Dark American experts a' the peace con . ferer.ee, who ar-- studying the Near East problem, declare themselves ;.'. a loss to understand the exact nature i and motives of the combinations which are working toward the preservation of Turkey as a European power. As one of them stated to The Tribune correspondent: "There is a 'nigger' in the woodpile.'' Experts are inclined to thi beiii that the moving spirits are certaii British financial circles who are show , in;r a lively interest in the Turkish l public debt and the exploitation of the commercial and industrial op? portunities of Turkish territories, A big British companv has been form? d recently fo'' the exploitation of the ; Levant. This company has made its i voice heard in the matter of the con? trol of the Turkish public debt. American missionaries, who are gen? erally united in the support of Tur? key's cause, are also an important factor in the situation. Mr. Bliss, president of Beirut College, has be< ' in Paris and has had a confeTei ? with the American delegates. Mr. Bar? ton, another missionary in Turkey, is : coming to Paris in a few days to plead : the cause of the Turks. It is pointed out that these missionaries seek re? sults which ultimately w II be I i same as are desired by these British I financiers, who want the Turks under a British protectorate. Autonomy May Be Solution There is no question that the pres? ent British government is anxious for 1 America to help her in controlling and 1 governing the Near Eastern population. Premier Lloyd George, Mr. Balfour, Lord Robert Cecil and other farsighted British statesmen have shown on dif? ferent occasions at the peace confer? ence that they are relying on an Anglo American community of intt-res- for the preservation of world peace. America in Turkey and Great Britain in Egypt would be a combination of similar interests furthering such a". Anglo-American entente. Although it is believed President Wilson personally is favorable to the proposal that America should take a certain share of the responsibility for the Near East, it is understood that he is reluctant and, indeed, unwilling to make a move which he believe* would not be supported in America, and which, would involve a departure from American traditions of non-participa? tion in European affairs. The alterna? tive remaining to Great Britain i- that of insuring Turkey some sort of ? . tonomy, with the British predominant in the councils of the Sultan and the Turkish government. 1 ! u n n i n g count--.- * -, ? . ] : ? icy in the Near La-t is the Greek claim to the Asia Minor littoral on the .-'?yean Sea. as *eU as Greek aspira? tions toward Constantinople a:1 the seat of the Greek Patriarch in the ancient Byzantine capital.
