The population remaining in Anatolia does nos know how to -use improved agricul tural machinery. German masons, car pejiterß and paiUtters are appearing in Cojistentipple. M. Auguste Gauvain sap: “There remains only one fault for ps to commit—to lend the little cap ital which we still bate tp the Turks (n order that they may\bring in more Gerroali colonists. if we have not loot a]l sense and all shame we should promtply put an end to our anti-Greek policy aud re-establish our former con nections (profitable both materially and culturally) with our traditional clients in tjie Near East—with the Christians, who people our schools and make our commerce prosper."
