Turkish Affairs.
(Per Press Association) London, January 2. A statement has been published giving the views of Sir Edgar Vincent, formerly director of the Turkish Indirect Rev- | enues, on the present state of Turkish finances. Sir Edgar alleges that since 1890 the Turkish Budget discloses an annual deficit of a million Turkish pounds, or about ninehundredth usand pounds sterling. This state of affairs is largely due to the Palace expenditure. He recommends a reduction in the military vote, which now reaches sixtyseven per cent of that expenditure -a proportion unequalled in any other country— the prevention of the contraband trade, and the regular payment of officials. _____
