AN UNBIASSED OPINION.
BY DIPLOMAT OF EXPERIENCE. TURKS NOT FIT TO GOVERN. (Press Association.—Copyright.) (Received 12.24 p.m.) Lndon, September 20. Henry Morgenthau, a former American Ambassador in Turkey, in a statement, said he was in complete agreement with the British policy of keeping the Dardanelles free and maintaining the neutral zone. He preferred not to offer an opinion regarding the Franco-British decision to allow the Turks' return to Constantinople, or on Moslem problems confronting Britain, but the question as to how far the Turks should be allowed the complete . control of Constantinople ought to be considered. Christian races could no longer close their eyes to Turkish deeds. Indeed, after the absolutely overwhelming evidence of the Smyrna atrocities, not only the Great Powers, but the whole world, should consider whether the Turks were fitted to rule anyone except themselves.
