OUTLINESPLAN
TO BLOCK HUN
FOREIGN TRADE
i
_ <
ROMK, Nov 18 (Correspondence of '
the Associated Press). David Babin,,'
American delegate to the Interna
tlnnnl Institute of Agriculture, has |
suggested to Italian and British gov- '
eminent officials and financiers a plan j'
to block Herman encroachments In [ '
foreign markets by teaching the back
ward neoples of the world how to man
ufacture their own goods. It is pro- '
posed to send a commission to the
United States to advocate the adop- '
tion of this method.
Mr. I.ubin's plan Is to organize an
International Industrial league which
would establish commercial bases In
zones of foreign trade and to tench 1
the people of those zoneR Important
methods of business and manufacture
It is pointed out that this would elim
inate the necessity for them to pur
chase manufactured articles either I
“At a first glance it would seem in- M
advisable for the English or Amoric•• n
exporter to heln build nn Industrie** ip
a foreign market.” said Mr. I,uWn
“Thov would feel that thov wore bv
teaching raw labor to become expert,
destroying tbelr own trade nnd even
running the risk of having that labor
return to compote In tbelr own homo 1
market T think refection will show
that there is really little to fear from
the legitimate competitor In fact,
the competitor is. as a rule, a cus
tomer. and the stronger the compe
tition the more valuable the custom
Tloth the United ‘^♦ate** and Croat ^
Ttrltaln r,rn romnoHtors but they are
also each other’s best customers.
Veltber ha« mneh to fear from Mo
rocco for Instance. as a competitor,
but likewise they lv*''o little to gain

i|f Morocco be convert o<l }»'tr> an
1 t
l Hu **-; .! renter It would become a cus- j
j toner. ^
"TTnder the present sample^runk
method of increasing business there
is no business worth while for any
body there, but if Morocco were
i taught to use her raw labor she would
; start to manufacture, and right off
could bo sold raw products and ma
chinery. There would also be a gain
j on financial investments, on banking
transactions, on hor increased volume
<
of exports and imports
“Also, once this intensive plan of
development were started, we would
have a block to the Cerman method
we have complained of. which whh al
ways dangerous because Herman bus! "
ness was accompanied by political
meddling in the country involved, and
her profits carried back homo to help
build up her armies, and her armies
i
| used to bulldoze the world."
“We are under the impression that
; we are living in the twentieth cen ,
turv. but from an industrial point of (
view' this is true of only a small part
of the world The backward conn*
! I
tric*s are still scratching the earth
with a pointed stick, sowing seed by
hand, reaping by sicgle. making shoes
and clothes by hand. Tho difference
between the old world of the* hand
and the new world of the machine is
seen right here in the basin of the
Mediterranean, where civilization was
horn, say two thousand years ago.
Muon of this immense territory is
j still where it was two thousand years
i ago. Why? Because it has not the
machines of Franco, England and the
United States.
"It is in the interest of the nations
arrayed against Germany to invade
her former fields and there set the
! machines at work, teach their leaders
business organization and their work
ers to heroine experts.”
STAKING MAIL TRAIL
ALONG THE YUKON
One of Alaska's worst (rails, that
between KaJtag, a lower Yukon river
town, and Unalakleet, a Norton sound
coast point between St. Michael and
Nome, is being given winter stake
markings. Stakea along the trad, it
is believed, will help the mail car
riers and their dog teams during the
winter.
Mail for Nome, St. Michael and
Seward peninsula points is carried
over the Koltag-Unalakleot trail dur
ing the winter. In the summer it runs
through a wilderness and is used by
only the most daring “mushors," who,
by taking the seventy five-mile trail,
can save a 250-milo trip through the
Yukon delta and across a strip of the
Boring sea lo St. Michael. In the
winter the trail is paekod by snow,
but in the summer It is boggy and
climbs over or goes around thousands
of "nigger-heads."

GREEKS OF ASIA MINOR
ON MISSION TO AMERICA
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6. A friendly
Mission which has come to this coun
ry in behalf of the unredeemed
'■reeks In Turkey includes among its
uembers Christoe Vassalikakl, mo ni
ter of the Greek parliament, and N. !
1. Ky Kyrlakides, a prominent ship
iwner and trader Both of these men
lave led busy lives In the world of
•ommerce and polities They have
ately interested themselves in the j
Ibcration of the Greeks of Asia Minor
lecause, as they say. they could not
emain indifferent observers of the
niffcrings and misery of their com
atriots. Although Mr. Vassalikakl
R a member of the Greek parliament
rom the island of Lesbos, he has
ived part of his life in Smyrna, and
s well acquainted with the Greek
leople who live east of the Aegean.
"In no district is the world struggle
letween autocracy and liberalism
nore clear-cut than between the
Porks and the Greeks in Asia Minor,"
ilr. Vassalikakl recently declared in
in Interview. "The Turks are the j
nest brilliant examples in history of I
loctrine that mieht milrnu rteht The
'■reeks were the earliest champions of
emorcarey. The conflict in Asia
linor Is a little replica of the larger
ombat between the rale of the people
ml the rule of kings which has
timed all of Europe into a bloody
>attleground.
Greeks Withstand Oppression
"It is probably hard for Americans
o realize the tragedy of the long
la very of the Astatic Greeks," Mr,
'assallkaki continued. "Since 1453
ho Turks have made every effort to
nnihilate them. In spite of Turkish
erocity, the Greeks have actually in
reused in numbers. Their vitality
ias been remarkable. There nre more
han 2,000,000 of them living today in
he peninsula of Aslp, Minor, and the
end's commerce and education are
erv largely in their hands.”
The number of Greek schools, as
dr. Yassalikaki explained, has some
what declined since the beg'nning of
h • war, but thousands of them have
(ept open notwithstanding the hos
illly of the Turk. According to the
atest obtainable figures the Greeks
inder Turkish yoke in Thrace and
Vi ia Minor have 3.276 schools and
■hurches, with 10,025 teachers and
liests and 276,110 pupils. They have
ilw.o in their hands about 65 per cent
if the export trade, 70 per cent of the
mport trade, 60 per cent of manufac
uring and industry, and 70 per cent
if the banking business. The most
mportant hospitals, orphanages,
ibraries, clubs and newspapers are
un and supported by the Greeks. He
ore the war they were spending about
5.000.000 earh year on public projects
ind charities.
A Day of Reckoning
The attitude of the Turks toward
'■reek enterprises has, of course, been
infriendly. The Turks are by dispo
ition a roving people, with no great
merest in business or government,
rho divine law, as written down in
he Koran, is the one code they sub
nit to, and their interpretation of the
voran has been considerably differ
■nt from that of the more intelligent
\rabs. There ia one particular sen
once in the Koran which, in Mr Yas
lallkaki's opinion, has colored the
vholo thought of the Turks in their
lenling with the Greeks. Enable to
leny the vigor and vitality of the
frocks, the prophet Mohammed
travely wrote down in the sacred Ku
an: "We have defeated the Greeks,
nit a time will come when they will
iefeat us also." It is this day of
frock triumph toward which all pious
1’urks have looked with apprehension,
n February, 1915. when they were
fold that a Greek army was ready to
and in tho Dardanelles, many Turks
fled from Constantinople, thinking
lhat the promised day of reckoning
had come.
With the Greeks it has been just
the reverse. Even in the dark days,
.vhen they had been defeated and ut
terly exhausted by the Turks, they did
not lose their faith in the future re
birth of their nation. Secretly they
aught their children to sing: “After
some years this country will again
aelong to us." In 1774. just one year
vefore our own revolutionary war. the
Crooks attempted their first revolt. It
,vas put down and the Greek spirit of
Independence waited until 1821 to try
again In 1821 hegan the series of
wars for freedom which won for
freeoe the ndmimtlon and assistance
>f the larger powers of Europe. The
iterary men as well as tho statesmen
Iterary men as well as tho statesmen
nterested themselves in behalf of
he struggling Hellenes. Among the
pore famous of them who wrote about
frock liberty or went to Greece to
aolp fight were Chateaubriand, pyron,
Motor Hugo and Alfred de Vigny. In
1829. with part of the Greek lands
•estored, the Greek government was
let up once more.
Greek* Aid in Macedonia
Today the hope of all the Greek
people is to behold the redemption
af those Greek lands and people
I-- —
which wore not saved from the Turk
in the early part of the nineteenth
century. In this hope the Greeks
of Asia Minor have stubbornly held
their ground in the face of massacre
and persecution, which have greatly
reduced their numbers. They have
been represented In the Greek army
lighting on the Serbian and Macedo
nian fronts. The brilliant successes
there have greatly heartened the
Greeks, at the same time increasing
the doubt and gloom among the Turk
ish ranks.
