, By ALBERT BRETON, V!ee-Preldnt Guaranty Trust Company of New York. THE establishing of a Constantinople branch of a big rew lork trust company Illustrates the growing Importance cf. the Near East to American foreign trada. Before the war the Cntted Statea was a negligible factor Id the business life of Constantinople. Today one will find four or five American liners la the Golden Horn at all times. .Then there are the Irregular visits of American tramp steamers. Today a lozen Important American corporations have permanent offlcea there and many other American concerns are represented by local agents. The Importance of Constantinople rests npon Its position as a center of yater transportation. Import! Into Constantinople lndade corn. Iron, timber, woolens. Bilks, Jewelry, furniture, coffee, sugar, petroleum, cottoa goods, machinery, etc. During the year ending December 81, 1919. American exports to Constantinople amounted to 514.16S.2S5 and her exports to the United States amounted to $20,390,204. The principal commod

ities Imported by this country were Taw skins, opium, wool, mohair, hazel

nuts, hazelnut kernels, tobacco, carpets and rugs, licorice, gum traga-

canth. raw furs, rose oil and aausage

casing.

. The future possibilities of Imports

from and exports to the Eastern Mediterranean, the Sea of Marmora and the Black Sea ports from the United States ara of almost unbelievable proportions. These entire sections must be fed, clothed and largely rehabilitated. The merchants of the Near East have valuable raw products to Bepd us In exchange for the goods so urgently needed boots and shoes, leather, rubber, outer and unier clothing for men and women, cutlery, cottonseed oil, sugar, bar and bnnd Iron, nalla, carpenters' and machinists tools, automobiles, jams and fata. The economic Ufo of Smyrna. In

Asia Minor, and the hinterland haa

been retarded by the war. At present there Is need of lumber, coal, machinery, cotton goods, clothing, shoes and

certain kinds- of canned goods. The market for lusher and machinery has not been developed extensively. Some

British coal la being Imported. In normal times tho chief exports from Smyrna are tobacco, opium, figs, car

pets, licorice root, emery stone, chrome

ore, vaionia, raisins, skins, olive, oil and nuts.

GRAZING COUIVTRY

OF ASIA. MJtMQA. tho major part of the small hardware trade In former Asiatic Turkey. Tcero is a big demand now for ail articles of the kind Germany and Austria-Hungary formerly supplied. American firms, however, muat expect keen competition ta vtew of the strengthened British Influence In the Levant,

The whole of Asia Minor la almost unexplored territory, as far as agricultural machinery is concerned, and the first comer in the market will have a decided advartage. Live stock has slmost disappeared, owing to war operations. As the draft animals remaining are mostly lightweight horses

and bullocks, the only type of agricultural machinery possible is lightweight machinery. American exports to Smyrna from September, 1918. to December, 1919, amounted to about $2.50,000 American Interests represented directly at Smyrna are concerned chiefly with the tobacco trade, although a number of American firms engaged in general Importing end exporting have their offices In the city. Anatolia Is practically a virgin field for all eorts of agricultural and mining machinery, forest exploitation, road making and all kinds of projects con-

ected with communications and municipal services. Including water supplies, electric light, etc. American traders are Just now becoming alive to the trade possibilities of the country, for Bulgaria needs many things which America can provide, snch as agricultural machinery, tools, hardware, textiles, clothing and leather goods. Eulgarla can export hides and skins, wool, tobneco and attar-of-roses. Exports amounting to $o.426,5S3 Tt-ere Invoiced at the American consulate of Sofia for the United States during the last quarter of 1919. Shipments of tobacco made up 56,157.ST.O of this totaL For the entire year of 1914 American Imports from Bulgaria amounted to only $440,000. The Roumanian oil fields constitute

one of the main resources of the coontry, second only to ain't culture. DurUoods in demand In RounoanU V textiles, clothing, glass, toilet articles, etc. The present Imports are largely the fulfillment of orders placed before the slump lu exchange. Roumanla Is badly In need of agricultural and engineering machinery, road vehicles, locomotives and freight cars. As a rule, buyers In Roumanla dewand long credit. In spite of the many difficulties of the moment, those in close touch with the Roumanian situation are very optimistic, "bullish arguments" for the future being based on the fertile soil, th great oil production and the extensile fcfesf.8. The merchants ar.l traders of America are finding another Near Eastern field of enterprise in Greece. In 1913 Greek exports to this country amounted to about $3,000,000. In 1918 "they

were valued at more than $1S,000.A . American exportt to Greece rose from $1,200,000 in 1913 to SSl.O-Xl.OOO In 191G. dropping to $2,500,000 In 1918, with the decline in war shipments of breadstuffs. Iron and steel and leather. The ports of northern Syria are Aleiandretta and Beirut. Parcel post facilities exist between the United States and Syria. Samples should be

sent when necessary, and prices ana discount should be mentioned. There is an increasing demand In Beirut for American-made products, as the people are growing mora accustomed to them. The American consul at Jerusalem sends the following Information regarding the trade outlook In the Holy Land : "Or.e of the Palestinian ports will In the future capture a larger rart of the trade of the Mediterranean and western Asia from the Hellespont to E:.b-EI-Mand?b. Railroads from naif.i traversing northern Galilee nml branching northward through Gi'b-Srrinn plain to the Bagdad railroad, "the Hedjas railway opening t',; fa--t of the Jord3n. parsing through the rich wheat fields of the Ilauran nnd one day to stretch forward through the rich territory limited by the Euphrates and Tigris, noways prohablv stretching along the oast of Africa from Cairo to the Cape, making it probable that Jerusalem may hemine the station loading to Calcutta ail tliis opens a prospeet for the possli,inti of Palestine that rests upon a

more o'.id foundation than the Imagination. Persia is another country of the Near East to which attention must now be paid. There are no factories or mines In Persia and only a fe-v light railways. The capitalistic class Is represented by, owners of villages, houses and shops;; labor is represented by the peasants, blacksmiths, tanners, masons, butchers, cotton workers and other artisans, and ordinary government workers form a small middle class. It cannot be too 6trongIy emphasized that If America Is to obtain her share of trade In the Near East she1 must establish herself now, otherwise the other Industrial rations will be so firmly Intrenched that the American trader will find serious difficulties In his path.

(General Eudenny's failure to talse Lumbers, when the liolsheviki mad'i he. August drive iifon AVarsaw, is attributed by Leniuo and Trotsky chiefly to tha fight against the Cossacks made by the Polish air forces under the command of Col. Fauntleroy. Before, sailingfor tn:erica, the commander of the Kiuadron was decorated by Chief of State, General Pilsudski, with the "Virtuti militarl," the highest military award of tho Polish government. Col. Faurtleroy went to Poland from France directly after the armistice, with the intention to pay back to Poland what Kosciuszko did for America in the time of her struggle for indeVendence. Col. I'nuntKroy made over 7,000 flights' tn 6.l'f'0 difforent typo machines. "I will go back to the front." said Co. Fauntleroy, "if the war starts anew in spring, and now 1 nant to help Poland in what is of fercatest importance, the appropriation. The war-torn Poland faces this wint'T starvation as she has only 40 per tent of foodstufls absolutely necessary.

POLICE CHECK

CRIME WAVE

V.'uh only one report of a robbery, East Chicago, during the week-end ex-pori.-nc.-d one of the iuietest Saturdays ant .Sunday on record. Much credit is due to Chief of Police Ed. O'Lxmnell, for the manner of his check jm; the crime wave, which swept East Chicago a month or two ago, and which at the present time poems to be terrorizing tho entire country. In Indnr.a Harbor especially, starting Saturday evening. Chief O'Donnell with four of Irs best men. combed the Harbor and E.t.t Chicago for su.-pic-uous characters. Every man found on the streets after r: ( lock, midnight SalWday, was stopped, and those who could not give a g"od account of themselves were searched f'r weapons. Tho result of this attention to duty on the part of the police is shown that since Saturday morning and continuing until Monday noon, no arrests or no serious trouble has been reported. The police have also been paying great attention to automobilists and during the past week no accidents ot mishaps have happened within our boundaries. The crusada started by the j oiice department against motorists, who park their auicmnbiioj.n the side treits without bearing lights and which has been the. cause of many accidents, has borne fruit. Criminals, who have been making Chicago their headquarters, are keeping awayfrom East Chicago, upon finding the measures being taken by the East Chicago police. The only rebbery reported to the police during the past 72 hours is that of John Ter.keiy of MoCook and Chicago ave.. who reports that his office was entered and that the lock on his safe had been broken off. The robbers getting only $4 in cash and a suit of clothes belonging to one of his drivers.
