AMERICANS FIND
TURKEY STABLE
Constantinople, Nov. 30. (By The
Associated Press) American experts
who have investigated the financial
condition of the former Ottoman em
pire say they are convinced that it is
fundamentally sound. Several consid
erations are advanced to support this
conclusion.
First, it is stated that the popu
lar point of view that Turkey was
I bankrupt before the war was partly
'created artificially for the benefit of
foreign financial interests with the ob
ject of frightening other would be in
vestors and for political reasons of
establishing spheres of influence.
The fact that Turkey was always
able to secure loans is cited as evi
dence of her financial soundness,
though against this may be advanced
the observation that she was a politi
cal center coveted by many powers
who were' ployed, the one against the
other, and that financial considera
tions were sometimes subordinated to
political purposes.
It is pointed out that Turkey did not
default on her indebtedness, in recent
years, but funds for the payment of in
terest and amortization were continu-
i ally increasing, and doubling at the
rate every fifteen years.
The revenues of the country as a
whole were Increasing at the normal
natural rate of other prosperous coun
tries in Europe.
An enormous percentage of revenue
reached the treasury, the loss being
estimated by some as high as fifty
per cent. This was partly ascribed to
the system of farming out the taxes by
districts, collectors paying in advance '
a certain sum and then collecting what
they could.
For Americans who are considering
the mandate question or of doing bus
iness here under whatever government
is established, it Is pointed out that
the above facts show revenues already
adequate to conduct the old govern
ment and that with good government,
the old Ottoman empire would have
been financially strong. "
, Before the war foreign Investments
amounted to the equivalent of $1,078,
000,000 of which $783,200,000 was in the
public debt or loans to the government
and the difference in private enter
prises and concessions.
The bulk of these investments was
in loans to the governor below par so
that all of the money never reached
the treasury. Enormous commissions
are believed to have been paid to Euro
pean bankers and in "gratifications" to
various local ministers to get their
support for the loans. Sums that did
reach the treasury are said 1 to have
been squandered on palaces, harems,
and in other unproductive ways. r
So the loans did not, on the whole,
create sources of new revenue and
therefore the public debt continual
ly increased. It is to be noted that in
the late seventies and the early eighties
the government could, not pay interest
on its operations in recognition of the
doubtful manner in which most of the
loans had been made, and new issues
were put out with the old ones being
taken in at reduced face value.
Suggestion has been made here that
these facts may lead , the peace , con
ference to write off more of the na
tional debt.
The object of such loans, it is stated,
were partly with the political intent of
making Turkey default so interested
powers could take over her finances
and control the country, as was done
in 1881. This led to the creation of
loose spheres of . influence, Germany
taking Konla Plain,' the French, Syria,
with the Italians wanting the province
they at present occupy, and the Brit
ish and the Russians seeking Constan
tinople. In the council of administra
tion of the Ottoman public debt, which
continued! 'until the war and-has been
resumed in some fash ion," there was one
Englishman, one Frenchman, one Ger
man, one Austrian, and one, Italian,
with the presidency alternately occu
pied by an Englishman and a French
man. Of this public debt France own
ed sixty per cent, Britain fourteen per
cent, Germany twenty-one percent, and
four per cent was owned between the
Italians and 1 the Austrians. ' ;
-The conclusion of the investigators is
that if the investments had been made
for productive enterprise and had cre
ated sources for meeting interest and
the debt, it would have been child's
play to carry the debt and pay it off.
However, as the debt was lowered,' in
spite of the above ' attempts, - addi
tional loans were made. Not all of
the sums borrowed by the government
leading bone specialists in the south.
Each one of the little . fellows is being
treated without cost because his or
her parents could not afford the ex
pense of an operation and hospital
care. Given the care and attention of

EPISCOPALIANS
RAISE BUDGET
Atlanta, Dec. 7. Financial means to
equip , the Episcopal church for the
broader opportunities and responsi
bilities to which the nation-wide cam
paign has awakened it, are to-be ac
quired - by the "budget, of which ' the
quotas of the two Florida divisions
are as follows:
Diocese of Florida, Bishop E. G.
Wood, $24,665; missionary' district of
southern Florida, Bishop Cameron
Mann, $33,919.
The campaign closed Sunday, ex
cept in a few parishes where : longer
time will be taken, some until Febru
ary 8, -some probably ' until Palm
Sunday.
The . total nation-wide campaign
budget is $42,000,000 for the next three
years. Of this sum $14,000,000 covers
the usual parochial expenses. . The dif
ferences, $23,000,000, is the sum fixed
to cover activities and proposed ex
pansion in diocosan and general mis
sions. Thus,--the annual quota, of
slightly more than $9,000,000 over and
above these expenses, is the amount
the church must raise in addition "to
that which It has been raising. A great
deal of this $9,000,000 formerly has
been contributed to various agencies
which have been working independ
ently, but which are now to be co
ordinated through the nation-wide
campaign.
The .campaign, with a - relatively
small financial goal,- is not regarded
by members of the church as a "money
drive." No large gifts are sought, and
the Increased rontrihiitirtna sn ov
j pected through the weekly collections
rather than otherwise. The expansion
of the church to be made possible by
the nation-wide campaign budget is
expected to be a permanent condition,
as it is contemplated the budget will
be renewed every three years.

SMITHWICK BACK
AT HOUSE DESK
By George H. Manning.
Washington, D. C, Dec. 6 The
Florida senators and congressmen, with
exception of Mr. Sears, all got back
on the job last Monday, after the
short recess, for the regular session
of congress which is sure to run into
next July at the earliest.
Congressman J. H. Smithwick of the
Western Florida district, after mak
ing a hurried trip to his district during
the recess was on hand when the ses
sions opened and expects to remain
here until the final gavel falls. Staying
on the job from the opening to the
closing of the sessions each day that
congress meets, and attending to a
multiplicity of departmental matters
for his constituents during the morn
ing before the sessions open is a thing
that Mr. Smithwick has done since
March 4 last, in a manner that is
proving very gratifying to his friends,
and disconcerting to his few political
enemies in his district.
While observing the usual custom
for new members of being seen always
and seldom heard for their first term,
the Pensacola congressman stands very
well with the House leaders, watches
the legislation very closely and is ever
on the alert for the interests of the
people of his district.
IN POLICE CIRCLES.
Wholesale raids were made on several
gambling joints by the police Saturday
night and Sunday. Lieut. McClure, offi
cer Harper and officer Thorp took in
nine negroes for shooting crap at a North
Tarragona-8t. resort. The officers were
forced to break in the door in order to
make the arrests. The men were brought
to the police station where they made
bond for their appearance before Judge
Morey this morning.
" Another game of crap was pulled by
Lieut. McClure and officer Milford yes
terday. Four gamblers were taken in the
raid and made bond for their appearance
today.
The Crystal Pharmacy was broken into
shortly after midnight yesterday morn
ing and a quantity of Cocaine and other
narcotics were stolen. The robbery was
investigated by officer' Humphries and
Roberts, but no arrests so far have been
made. ;
