DEVELOPMENT OF TURKEY.
GRANDIOSE AMERICAN PLANS
OUT FOR CONCESSIONS.
A. and N.Z. LONDON. March 20. The Constantinople correspondent of the Daily Express reports that a comprehensive American scheme for the reconstruction of Turkey includes the transformation of Angora into a dream city containing the outstanding features of London, Paris, New York, and Washington. The syndicate also proposes to run sugar refineries, engage in afforestation, build a network of railways, roads, bridges, canals, and irrigation works, establish schools of agriculture and engineering, and health centres and hotels under the direction of tourist travel companies. This is merely a summary of the allembracing trusts, the proposed tentacles reaching to the uttermost part* of Anatolia. The proposals indicate that though the United States is averse to sharing European political burdens, American business men are determined to share any concessions offering. A hundred and" fifty members of American chambers of commerce have arrived in Constantinople.
