Hypocrisy on So-called
'Food Ships' Immunity'
CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 6.--
The Turkish deputy, Zeki Messouli, writing in a popular paper, attacks Hoover's hypocritical claim of "immunity for food ships" in war, and says:
"By a brilliant gesture having a humanitarian appearance, the United States is trying to put her commerce on a well-based guarantee even during a war when America is neutral. During the World War, America protested the blockade of the central powers, but when America became a combatant, it helped to blockade Germany.
"Are the European nations going to let America, which is a great power in blockades, influence their affairs whether it is in a war or not?"
In this stand of Turkish capitalism, Turkey, of course, reflects the antagonism of England, and the imperialist rivalry of England against the United States at present, rather than the old alliance with Germany.
