Turkoy lies like a broad bar lor between the Russian Empire and the troubled and vulnerable Middle East. Turkey is a stable and healthy State, with a vigorous will to independence and self-defence, and with a large, strong, and recently modernized army. She is now being weakened by the uncertainty of the situation in Persia, from where she could be outranked. She Is strengthened by her acces 'on to the North Atlantic Treaty, and she is cast for a key role in the new Middle East Command, in which It is hoped to associate the countries at her rear with an organization in which Britain and the Commonwealth, America and France will Join with Turkey in providing the nucleus of an effective regional defence force. modernization Tuna is coming along. The people are apathetic because they feel the state will take care of things. 'We pay our hospital Insurance,' they say." APATHY "There are some things the state can do better than voluntary organizations. The government has the money the people's money and It has the au thority to say, either you do, or don't and suffer.'" But, he claimed, voluntary organizations, most of which were motived by religion, did not care about money, and their main interest was to he;p people. "Most of these organizations are based on a religious foundation. Their motives are altruistic and lofty. They have no political motives and they require very little money. "What is going to happen when the work they do among the poor and needy goes Into the hands of the state? "It will dig into the pockets of the citizens. Their taxes will be higher," for the government would need money to operate. Major Poulton cited examples where most of the welfare work by the state.

AMERICAN PROPOSALS American delegates presented Canadian and Japanese representatives with a proposed treaty regulating North Pacific fishing and announced today they were not here to horse trade. The American plans calls for a two-point program to conserve fishing resources of the North Pacific. The three powers would: 1. Create a commission to con sider conservation problems and mediate any not covered by present agreements. 2. For conservation purposes, waive their rights to exploit the high seas fishery resources. (This would apply only under certain specified circumstances.) , 3., Signatories would not give up their rights to fish their own territorial or adjacent waters already being exploited, or other resources being worked "on a substantial scale."

Some observers say that British Columbia is threatening to upset precedent by being the first "host province" to force its own president.

Not Worried Over Canada Howe Sees No Need for Alam Over British Austerity Effects OTTAWA (CP) Rt. Hon. C. D. faowe, minister of trade and commerce, showed no concern yesterday regarding the United Kingdom's decision to slice im ports from doITar-area countries by almost $1,000,000,000 a year. As far as Canada is concerned, Mr. Howe told Commons there is no cause for "great alarm." Although the government has no details of the new British austerity plan there is nothing in the United Kingdom situation which leads him to believe that smaller amounts of goods "can be taten from Canada."
