Admiring Klein
Back to Istanbul (Constantinople) last week went Dr. Julius Klein, U. S. Assistant Secretary of Commerce, bubbling with optimism. He had spent two days in Angora, inspected the new Turkish Government buildings and the model experimental farm of Dictator Mustafa Kemal Pasha.* Said Dr. Klein:
