Strained Relations with Turkey

Strained relations again exist between the United States and Turkey, over Turkey's unwillingness to grant to Americans in Turkey the same rights and privileges that are granted to the citizens of other countries. The American minister, unlike the ministers of other countries, is not given the privilege of audiences with the sultan. A squadron of American war-ships has been ordered to Turkish waters with the intention of bringing pressure to bear upon the sultan, to induce him to grant America's demands.
