ASIATIC LEAGUE
“A DREAM AND AN ILLUSION” DECLARATION OF TEWFIK BEY Constantinople, November 18. “It is a dream and an illusion,” said Tewfik Rushdi Bey, in denying the reported formation of a League of Asiatic Powers. When asked why Tchitcherin, whom, it is declared, is anxious to visit Turkey, did not wear civilian clothes, Tewfik Rushdi Bey replied that all Soviet Commissars ranked as FieldMarshals. Tchitcherin had a special predilection for uniforms. [Tewfik Rushdi Bev, the Turkish Foreign Minister, and M. Tchichenn, the Russan People’s Commissary of Foreign Affairs, met at Odessa, and a diplomatic correspondent stated that Moscow dreamed of an Asiatic League of Nations under Soviet leadership. '1 he Soviet denied the report, and stated that it was merely offering Asiatic as well as European countries treaties of non-aggression and neutrality.]
