TURKEY PRAISED
—■■ - — BRAVE STAND IN FACE OF DISASTER. LOYAL FRIENDSHIP WITH BRITAIN. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY. April 9. Turkey’s friendship with Britain was stressed by diplomats and statesmen at a meeting in Mansion House today iri connection with the Anglo-Turkish Relief Committee. The Turkish Ambassador, De Aras, was present. Mr R. E. Hudson. Minister of Shipping, referring to the recent earthquake disasters, said: "One might have expected that a country like Turkey, when faced with a disaster of this magnitude might for a moment have weakened in her will to stand solidly behind her promise, but she did not.” Turkey, he added, had freed herself from the economic shackles of Gorman domination. Whereas Turkey used to send more than half of her exports to Germany, today her exports to that country had shrunk to practically neg- ) ligible proportions. j* Turkey, said Mr Hudson, was a loyal friend and his Government would welcome anything that could be done to make that friendship even more close than it was at present. ■ Sir Hugh Knatchbull-Hugesson, the British Ambassador to Turkey, said: "We are proud to have so brave and courageous a friend."
