ABOLISHING THE SULTAN
The world war which is blamed for
about all the later-day ills of Europe,
was not the motivation behind the
movement which has resulted in the
abolition of the Turkish caliphate, but
it was a contributing factor, and in
deed may be regarded as the final
straw which toppled the sultan and all
his works into permanent exile if not
lasting oblivion.
Some attention has been paid to de
velopments this week as a consequence
of the action of the Angora govern
ment in separating the church and the
state bf ousting the caliph, nephew to
the sultan, who was exiled less than
two years ago. and his nominal succes
sor—as the term caliph implies. The
“crown prince” was prevented from
fleeing into Egypt where, the nation
alists believed, he was planning to
take the jewels and other wealth sup
posed to be concealed in the caliphate.
Instead, he has been expelled to Swit
zerland, where the deposed sultan, a
feeble old man, has been living since
he was exiled in November, 1922.
The strength of the Turkish sultan,
who presumed to be the personal rep
resenattive of Alah on earth, and con
sequently the tempo) al ruler over the
Musulmun world, has been waning for
several years. Abdul Hamid, “the
damned,’ was the last sultan to enjoy
'’autocratic powers, <
When the world War gave rise to the
nationalist movement and Mustapha
Kemal, the nationalist leafier, dictator
who professes benevolent intentions,
came into authority, the sultan’s pow
er was further weakened. There has
been much talk in nationalist circles
of a republic, particularly since Mus
tapha and his legions won great popu
lar support by decimating the Greek
armies in Asia Minor and then suc
cessfully defied the allies on the field
of a threatened war and in the halls
of diplomacy. Kemal’s signal vic
tory in negotiating the allies out of
Constantinople after Turkey had been
reduced to subjection as a consequence
of its crushing defeat in the world
war and his maintenance of Turkish
claims for other Turkish teritory nat
uraly made him the national hero.
For 600 years the sultan of Turkey
united the temporal and spiritual head
ship of the Mohammedans in himself,
and consequently it is not surprising
that the whole Mohammedan world is
shaken by the Turkihs decision or that
the British government fears its ef
fects in India, where rGeat Britain has
seventy million Moslem subjects, and
many of whom are trying to throw off
the British “yoke.’ ’
A rather strange contrast is to be
observed in the incident. Mustapha
Kemal frankly confeses the levening
influence of the western world on mod
cm Turkish life. He apparently is
not awed by the elfects of religion and
tradition which have erected six huge
palaces for the caliph and sanctioned
his 800 concuoines and his multiple
>vives. On the other hand, the Brit
ish government which views with al
alarm the drastic movement in Turkey
and which may set up another sultan
ate elsewhere in hope of holding its
Moslem subjects in line, is a Christ
ian government and in the eyes of the
Mohammedans, is run by infidels. The
motives behind the British attitude are
i>f course, pol rieal and practical, rath
er than religiou?.
According to Harry Gong, who ar
rived in Seward last night, the pro
posed vegetable cannery at Matanuska
has received strong support from the
ranchers and business men of the dis
trict.
