Constantinople to Be the Chicago of Europe Promoted

A New York interview with Lucien Irving Thomas of Standard Oil says Constantinople will become the Chicago of Europe as the American chamber of commerce for the Levant expands. He notes vast trade potential across the Danube and Bosporus with Europe and Asia and urges American investment in housing, harbors, railways, and factories. The American chamber, chaired by J. Dixon, includes major firms and banks seeking to boost Levant commerce and imports to balance exchange. The article highlights opportunities in construction, ports, and modern equipment to foster trade with the Near East.
