TO THE EDITOR OF THE “DAILY NEWS.”

Sir,—It is evident that England is about to be committed more deeply than ever to the regeneration of Turkey. After having shed torrents of her best blood, lavished an enormous sum of public money, and added five millions to her public debt under the name of a guarantee, in the cause of the Turks, she is now about, under the same auspices, to embark an immense amount of private capital in the same cause. She is in fact adding to her dominions and responsibilities the Protectorate of the Ottoman Empire.

The Prime Minister takes the unusual course of recommending capitalists to invest their money in the Turkish funds. He is confident that Turkey will revive. Hitherto, he admits, the symptoms of revival have not been great. “It is well known,” he says, “that for some time past, from various circumstances, the finances of Turkey have been in the greatest possible confusion and disorder. Troops have been for months without pay, public servants have received no salary, engagements of all sorts have been contracted which there have been no means of fulfilling: and the evil had increased to such an extent that the Turkish Government had become most anxious to have matters placed on a fair footing; and Her Majesty's Government felt that till that was done there was no solid foundation for the stability and prosperity of the Turkish Empire.”
