and’ unquestionably one of the best in the world. This observation is based on my personal experience as a military commander in western

Asia th-World war I.

The Turk is a fearless and stubborn fighter. The morale of the 750,000 men who make up Turkey's present army is of the highest order.

In addition, the quality and general efficiency of modern Turkey's military organization equal that of any modern army, not excepting our own. Weakness Eliminated The only source of Turkey's military weakness in the first world war ~inadequacy and corruption in its supply services—has long disap-

This is due chiefly to the efforts of the Ja%e Kemal Ataturk, founder of the new Turkey. He probably was one of the greatest military organizers and leaders the world has ever seen. ©n the other hand, the Turkish navy has long been suffering from the country’s lack of funds. Its| few units are mostly obsolete. The | biggest warship, the “Sultan Selim,” was originally a German cruiser which fled to Turkish waters in the summer of 1914. . The equipment of the Turkish army of today which, with reserves, ean be brought up to a full million trained men, is generally good. Air Fleet Needed But In order to cope with.the problems of modern war, Turkey needs an air fleet and up-to-date

armored units. Once well pro vided with these, the Turkish army would be a very hard nut to crack even for a great military power. Moreover, the network of airflelds which the Turks have set up in both the European and Asiatic parts of thelr country is so situated that an air force operating from there could virtually control a vast area outside Turkey. This region includes the southern and southeastern part of European Russia, . Syria, Lebanon, Arabia, the Suez Canal, Iraq and Iran. Tt is precisely this unique strategic location that makes Turkey the highway between southeastern Europe and Russia on the one hand,’ and on the other, the entire Middle East almost as far as the Red Sea and the approaches to India. The Germans were fully aware of this long before Hitler's heyday.

Railroad Built for War The Kaiser's diplomats induced the Turkish Sultan, Abdul Hamid II, to grant the Reich the right to build the famed Baghdad railway across Asiatic Turkey. From the outset, Berlin viewed that railroad as a commercial. and military jumping board to Iraq, Iran and India. The Baghdad railway still is Turkey's principal military and commercial artery. e By contrast, good roads are few and far betw@en. A considerable part of the loan just granted Turkey by congress will probably be used for the construction of new roads. .

ers—such as Gen. Ismet Ineunu, who holds the presidency of the Turkish republic, and Gen. Assim Gunduz—are strategists of the first magnitude. These men, and a number of others, have gone through no less than four wars, and can be regarded as generals of exceptional ability and experience.
