The chief of the new Turkish Nation holds a distinguished place among the modern statesmen. His mission was the most critical one and he has been azamingly successful. This success has been achieved by his character of steel and irresistable determination.

His death cannot be called the fall of Türkiye because the young generation is eager to continue on the road their chief has opened for them.

Atatürk’s country gained everything suddenly whatever revolutions and reforms can give, whereas this takes a long time in the west. He has left so many deep traces in Turkish life that this is an achievement that can be witnessed in the west in a century.
