JEWS AT CONSTANTINOPLE.
[TO THE EDITOR 07 THE "Srzeiveros."] SIR, In your issue of December 12th you state that the responsibility for the action of the Turkish Government is with the " Jews and agnostics who so largely constitute the Young Turk Party, and who, with the aid of German war-
ships, have obtained control of the Turkish Government." On the previous day there appeared in the daily newspapers extracts from the Report of our late Ambassador at Con- stantinople, Sir Louis Mallet, in which he expressly states :—
"Djavid Bey, the Minister of Finance, whose influence in favour of neutrality was of weight as representing the Jewish element, became towards the end so formidable an obstacle to the fulfilment of the German plan that instructions were sent from Berlin to force his resignation."
The Spectator is unjust to the most patriotic and sober section
of the Young Turk Party.—I am, Sir, &c., A. E. F.
