Abstract :This paper examines some American periodicals published between 1918 and 1923. According to this examination, he foremost topics discussed in these periodicals in this period were as follovvs: the plans for a `new order` in the region and the role of the USA in this new phase; the question of Christian minorities, expecially the Armenians and American missionaries in Turkey; the war betvveen the Turkish and Greek armies; Kemalists` links with the Bolsheviks and Islamism; the negoiations at Lausanne and discord among the Allies, and the ecı nomic, commercial and cultural interests of the USA in the `nevv Turkey`. I conclude that the attitude of the American press, in general, changed slovvly but continuously during this period, and vvas determined strongly by the attempts of the Kemalists to prove hovv `modern` or `Westernized` they weıe. Although anti-Turkish discourse remained dominant even afer the Treaty of Lausanne, a more analytical and objective vievv of the Kemalists started to prevail.
