Expert Tells Of Turkey
Lack of incentive is a basic problem in the backward areas of the world, Richard D. Robinson, expert on Turkish and Middle Eastern problems, told 60 students in economic geography Tuesday afternoon.
Mr. Robinson, who has spent several years in Turkey as a representative of the Institute of Current World Affairs and a foreign correspondent, is on the campus this week as guest lecturer.
"The Turkish government realizes the existence of these problems, and is now using the country as a laboratory for experiments in new liberal ideas."
"The people have no machinery, radios, or gadgets of any kind, and for heat they just bring an animal into their homes," Robinson said.
He explained that the lack of desire to accumulate wealth is a characteristic of the Turkish people which the western world finds hard to understand. He said, the people have a strong love for their own plot of land and community, and nothing else is of great importance.
Robinson said the United States has taken full advantage of this governmental interest, and the financial aid which we are giving to Turkey is as well used there as in any country to which we are giving support.
The conditions in which the people must live is another factor in studying the industrial and social problems of Turkey.
