Constantinople Promoted as Next Chicago of Europe
Lucien Irving Thomas, director of Standard City, says Constantinople will become the Chicago of Europe. He, in New York, heads the American chamber of commerce for the Levant to boost US trade with Egypt to Russia and Italy. The Levant chamber aims to develop housing, harbors, rails, docks, and a market for American machinery, with Thomas as president and New York offices planned.
