Such were words spoken last week in Constantinople by the great Tewfik Rushdi Bey, perhaps the most wholesomely feared and respected Near Eastern statesman. As he talked, the slender, expressive hands of Tewfik Rushdi Bey seemed to articulate his meaning almost more effectively than his precise, somewhat mincing words. As always, the eyes of the Turkish Foreign Minister seemed abnormally large and penetrating by reason of the thick, magnifying lenses of his glasses...
Rear Admiral Mark Lambert Bristol has a businesslike way of getting along with Turks. The State Department published, last week, some notes exchanged between the Admiral, as High Commissioner to Turkey, and the Turkish Foreign Minister, oily, wiley, bespectacled Tewfik Rushdi Bey. The notes continue, by avowed mutual consent, the modus vivendi between the U. S. and Turkish State Departments which has to be patched up from time to time, because the U. S. Senate refuses (TIME, Jan. 24) to ratify the treaty of Lausanne which would affirm U. S. recognition of the Turkish Government...
Tchitcherin Travels. The "T. and T. Conference" at Odessa (TIME, Nov. 22) between Turkish Foreign Minister Tewfik Rushdi Bey and Soviet Foreign Minister Georg Tchitcherin came to a most amiable close last week amid continued, portentous secrecy. As he took ship to sail across the Black Sea to Constantinople, the swarthy dandified Tewfik Rushdi Bey assured newsgatherers that Turkey and the Soviets are now in diplomatic concord, adding darkly: "Turkey does not favor any Western state to the detriment of any Eastern state. . . ." With Tewfik Rushdi Bey gone, M. Tchitcherin, still less communicative, tarried not in Odessa. Bundled...
...cemented, India would be so seriously threatened that the continuance of British dominance there would be out of the question. Obviously, the British Isles without India are a factory robbed of its best market and source of raw materials. Therefore it was at London that the doings of Ministers Tewfik and Tchitcherin were watched most anxiously last week. In England it was felt that the understandings known to have been arrived at by British agents with the Shah of Persia would prove a bulwark in that quarter...
...Britons made haste to nickname MM. Tewfik and Tchitcherin are among the last surviving exponents of "classical diplomacy. " Minister Tchitcherin is a pre-War Tsarol diplomatic underling who has flowered into a notable intrigant in the Bolshevist hothouse. Minister Tewfik is that famed fisher in troubled waters who almost succeeded in embroiling the League of Nations, the World Court and the principal Powers in an inextricable tangle over the issue of Mosul (TIME, Sept. 28, 1925). When two such "classic diplomats" foregather with their secretaries the cause of their journeying to a tryst on the shore of the inhospitable Black...
