MUTUAL HELP PACT DRAFTED
Clause Reported Exempting Ankara From Taking Anti-Russian Stand. LONDON, Sept. 30 (U. P.)~Great
Britain and Turkey have completed the draft of a definite pact of mu-
tual assistance and a Turkish mili-| tary mission is on its way to London || to negotiate with the British Gov-|
ernment, it was understood today.
The Turkish Embassy announced} the impending arrival of the mis-}
sion, under Gen. Kiazim Orbay, who on a similar mission during the summer, arranged for the purchase of British war materials. It was understood that the BritishTurkish pact would be signed upon the return of Turkish Foreign Min-
ister Sukru Saracoglu from Moscow. |
It was said he may leave tomorrow. The British-Turkish pact will contain a safeguarding clause stipulating that, under it, Turkey will never be required to take a hostile attitude against Russia, it was asserted here. oe | See Influence on Italy
Britons looked to the pact as another factor in assuring Italian neutrality. : Tn The political and military clauses of the British-Turkish treaty had been completed some time ago, but economic clauses caused difficulty. The Turkish Government was anxious because of the rapid overrunning of Poland by Germany, and wanted Britain and France to provide it at once with large quantities of tanks, airplanes and artillery, and also to support the Turkish currency. These difficulties had now been liquidated, it was believed, and Gen. Orbay, on his arrival here, would be able to make arms deals.
Foreign Chief in Moscow
At the outset of the war, Turkey had said that it would be faithful to its temporary mutual aid agreements with Britain and France. Since then events had moved with such rapidity as to make Turkey's position at once difficult and most important, commanding as it does the narrow Dardanelles Strait between the Mediterranean and Black Seas. i | Particularly the increasingly close friendship between Russia, Turkey's friend of long standing, and Germany, the enemy of Britain and France, had made for confusion. Turkish interests were regarded as three-fold: 1. To prevent partition of Rumania, which would bring Germany to the Black Sea. | 2. To prevent Bulgaria from becoming too powerful at the expense of Rumania. . jo» 3. To avoid being on the same side with Italy, from whom, it is reported she would like to acquire the Dodecanese Islands lost in the World War, and ‘whom she considers her rival in the Eastern Mediterranean. :
Saracoglu May Quit Moscow Tomorrow
MOSCOW, Sept. 30 (U. P.).— Turkish Foreign Minister Sukru Saracoglu may leave Moscow tonight without having seen Soviet Foreign Commissar V. M. Molotov since the arrival of German Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop this week, it was reported today. Today, however, Minister Saracoglu visited the British Ambassador and the French charge d’affairs. Turkish quarters declined to comment_on the conferences or on reports in diplomatic circles that Minister Saracoglu had been left cooling his heels since Baron von Ribbentrop came to negotiate a new Russo-German pact. Foreign diplomatic quarters suggested that Baron von Ribbentrop threw a monkey wrench into the activities of the Turkish mission and caused its mambars to be inactive diplomatically sirre negotiation of the latest Soviet-German friendship pact. Minister Saracoglu | arrived the day before Baron vou Ribbentrop and was given a warm reception. He saw Soviet officials the next day but not for the past three days, so far as’ can be learned. The theory among foreign observers is that the Soviet-German pact was not expe¢ted b; the
CIANO HURRIES ' TRIP TO BERLIN
Expected to Discuss Peace And Italy’s Interest In Balkans.
ROME, Sept. 30 (U. P.).—Authoritative quarters believed today that Italian Foreign Minister Count Ga-
rer Adolf Hitler ‘and German For-
eign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop in Berlin tomorrow in the interests of peace. It was emphasized here, after announcement that Count Ciano’ had been invited to Berlin by the Reich Government, that the Russo-Ger-man declaration issued in Moscow two days ago referred to ‘peace efforts and the possibility that an accord can be reached with other friendly nations for a lasting peace.” Italy's continued peace policy. as voiced both by Premier Benito Mussolini and the Italian press, has paved the way for Count Ciano’s visit to Berlin, authoritative quarters said. While in Berlin, Italians believe, Count Ciano will discuss axis problems, following what is regarded here as the end of the Polish conflict. He was expected to discuss also Italy’s interest in the Balkans, particularly in the light of Russian occupation of portions of Poand. } Count Ciano left for Berlin by train only an hour after it had been announced that ths Reich Government had invited him to confer with Herr Hitler and Herr von Ribbentrop. He is scheduled to arrive in Berlin at noon tomorrow. The Cabinet, meeting with Premier Mussolini ‘today, decided upon new taxes to meet the ordinary budget deficit and additional military expenses.
NAZITALIAN WAR PARLEY IS CALLED

what Russia would do if Britain and France turned down the peace overture and, as the joint Russian-Ger-man declaration said, Russia apd Germany met “to consider the necessary measures.” Nazi informants emphasized, however, that there could be no questioning of the division of Poland between Germany and Russia. That, they said, was not a point for negotiation. \; Just what joint measures ' Germany and Russia might take if their peace bids were rejected, even the Germans refused to say. From the cautious tone of Nazi commentators, however, neutral observers got the idea that Russia had given the Nazis no promise of military support and that the extent of Russia’s support for the present

tionality living in the Berlin area.
NO PEACE NOW, PAPERS AGREE
London Press’ Spurns Talk; ‘Time Is on Our Side,’ Says Daily Mail.
LONDON, Sept. 30 (U. PJ) —All morning newspapers called the Ger-man-Russian peace declaration a bluff and said Great Britain and France would rejectr it. Typical comment follows: THE DAILY TELEGRAPH-—“The German hope that Russia will dictate peace is doomed to failure. . . . Just what is meant by the ‘necessary measures’ to be discussed by Russia and Germany when their peace palloon is deflated is left rather obscure, doubtless by design.” THE DAILY MAIL—“Time is on our side. It’s one of Hitler's greatest enemies. Let him but cease for a moment to dazzle his dupes with the appearance of victories and they will begin to ask for bread.” THE DAILY EXPRESS—"“All the time chips are pilling on our side of the table. Peace now? Sham peace after a war not yet fought? A short peace while the adversary gets his breath? No fear!” The London Times today dodged the question as to whether France and Britain ultimately would try to dislodge Russia from Poland. The newspaper emphasized that the Allies hope to restore those parts of Poland seized by Germany.
French Attitude Called
One of Full Confidence PARIS, Sept. 30 (U. P.).—The Supreme War Council considered the situation resulting from the conclusion of a - Russian-German pact of amity today, and the im-
plied threat that Russia might side with Germany in event that Allies refused to stop the war on Germany’s terms. Present at the meeting, at the War Office were = Premier-War Minister Edouard Daladier; Gen. Gustave Maurice Gamelin, Chief of National Defense; Gen. Gaston Georges, commander in chief of the Army; Gen. Joseph Vuillemin, com-mander-in-chief of the Air Force; Gen. Jules Buhrer, commander-in-chief of colonial forces, and Admiral Francois Darlan, commander-in-Chief of Navy. : ; The attitude of France remained one, apparently, of complete confi-
dence and complete firmness.

German Jews’ Plight Worse
Altogether, there are 14,000 Polish Jews in Germany proper. They had escaped some of the persecutions of
German and “stateless” Jews as long|-
as their nation existed. The war also has made worse the plight of German Jews. Census takers are working 24 hours a day in the Reich union, to tabulate, before Oct. 6, every Jew’s name, home town, block and building; his occupation and property. The census was believed a prelude to a large scale draft of Jewish labor. Similar censes have been completed in Vienna and Praha.
Many Still Jobless
Many Jews excluded from trades and professions are still jobless despite many assignments to farm and highway labor. Reports that Jews have been asked to resume work as doctors and technicians as a result of the war are officially denied. Jews may not participate in any national defense work. The war has cut off Jewish emigration except to North and South America, excluding Canada, most of which proceeds by way of Italy.
Polish Patriots Begin New Fight for Freedom
PARIS, Sept. 30 (U. P.).—Polish patriots, undaunted for a fourth partition, already have begun a new fight for freedom. Jules Lukasiewicz, the fallen republic's Ambassador to France, announced last night in a radio speech, that a strong Polish army would be organized to fight beside France and Great Britain. He said it was the Poles’ duty to fight and named Gen. Wladislas Sidorski the commander. The speech was directed to the United © States where 1,268,000 Polish-born persons live; where a Polish | nationalist organization, formed in the World War with the aid of Pianist-Patrjot Ignacy Jan Paderewski, - contributed much .to the founding of the republic now partitioned between Germany and Russia. Calling on Poles to fight, the former ambassador said: “We will allow ourselves no respite until we take up the task of rebuilding Warsaw destroyed by the enemy.” A SS SE ————

NAZI ATTACK IN. WEST INDICATED
{Artillery Fire Renewed;
Belgian Troops Urged to Move Nearer Holland.
PARIS, Sept. 30 (U. P.).—The newspaper Paris Soir reported from Luxembourg today that Belgian troops stationed on the French frontier have left their positions and are “being urgently moved to Northern Belgium, near Holland.” An official source said that there are signs of new activity on the Western Front.
Germans apparently are planning a strong attack between Saarbruecken and Wissembourg, it was said. Renewed German artillery attacks in that sector were regarded as indicating preparations for an attack. Paris Soir's Luxembourg dispatch said that Belgian soldiers are building new defense works along the Albert Canal and along the Demer River, near the frontier. “Generally well informed circles are seriously disturbed,” the newspaper said. An official source, indicating intensified French military activity, forecast the fall soon of Saarbruecken. = At some unnamed points on the Western Front Germans displayed banners asking the French to cease fire. Aerial reconnaisance continued on the Western Front. Two German and one French planes were reported to have been shot down in dog fights over the lines yesterday.
Nazi Soldiers Kept
From Dutch Border
OLDENZAAL, Dutch - German Frontier, Sept. 30 (U. P.).—German military commanders today forbade German soldiers to approach within 300 feet of the Dutch frontier and forbade all contact with Dutch soldiers. The orders coincided with increased nervousness on this section of the border. Effective 5 a. m. Monday Dutch subjects will not be allowed to cross the frontier to Germany except near the village of Glanerbrug. Dutch identifications cards must be approved by German authorities. .
Westwall Is Mapped By British Airmen
LONDON, Sept. 30 (U. P).— British Royal Force pilots, fiying for miles along Germany's Westwall fortifications at a height of only 600 feet, have photographs in detail some of Germany’s most strongbly fortified zones, the Air Ministry said today. ’ 2 The photographs have been forwarded to British Expeditionary Force headquarters in France for study by the British and French General Staffs, it was said. Pilots on the flight took close-up photographs of gun emplacements, tank traps and different types of camouflage and located a network of communications lines, the Ministry said.

Meanwhile, Senators “warmed up” for next week’s debate in radio speeches and peace meetings. Senator Lewis B. Schwellenbach (D. Wash.) told a radio audience last night that the Administration program would “keep us out of war.” Under existing statutes this country is operating on “a dangerous unneutral hodge-podge,” he said.
Three Senators on the. opposing |
side participated - with Norman Thomas, Socialist leader, in. a demonstration at a local theater. They were Bennett C. Clark (D. Mo.), Gerald P. Nye (R. N. D.) and Arthur Capper, (R. Kas.). Alfred E.

More than a dozen Senators are scheduled for talks between tonight and Tuesday.
BRITISH WAIT FOR NEW SUB FLEET
LONDON, Sept. 30° (U. P.).—Admiralty authorities are waiting for a new fleet of German submarines to take to the North Sea and the Atlantic, it was understood today. The principal sinkings of the last few days have been near the entrance of the Baltic. This, the Admiralty believed, was partly because the first wave .of U-boats, sent out before the war started, had returned to bases, and partly, because the Admiralty’s new convoy system was The convoy System is expected to get going in full stride in a couple weeks more, Official . British and French announcements have indicated that as many as 20 German submarines had been sunk, out of a probably first fleet of 30 or 35. Ta Admiralty authorities looked for a steady diminishing toll of British shipping even when new fleets of submarines took to the sea.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30 (U. P.). —The Polish embassy here today served notice on the United States Government that the German-Rus-sian partition of Poland is “illegal,” and that Poland will continue its

Official sources have indicated that this government may follow its established precedent, and 'refuse to recognize the German-Rus-sian ‘conquest.

capital is the kind Americans would call wild rumor. The talk is in a babel (of languages — Rumanian, German French, Polish, Turkish, Japanese, English. The talkers occasionally are women, some of them very beautiful. . The Athenee Palace Bar is one of the busiest “fronts” in Europe. The Soviets invade Bessarabia twice daily, Hungary periodically moves in on Transylvania, Bulgaria points a bayonet at Doubrudjia every -hour. Army corps—they look like whisky: glasses to the uninitiated—move north and south, east and west across the marble counter. Pacts are made one moment and torn up the next in moves of surpassing diplomatic brilliance. y The Athenee Palace, like a hundred other hotels in this part of the world, is on the rim of the European hostilities and at the center of Balkan intrigue. English Acquire Umbrellas
In the more elegant suites on the first floor are the refugee diplomats from Poland, their ranks thinned by the departure of the Americans and French but still a considerable group. Many got. ott of Poland with only one suit, or dress, apiece, but the. Englishmen have to acquire tightly rolled umbrellas and brown pigskin gloves and their wives have purchased new hats, although their shoes still show traces of Polish mud. ~~ . The second floor is occupied chief-
predominately German. Everyone else seems a little suspicious of the Germans who in turn seem interested only in their whiskies and sodas, the price of that commodity - being something astronomical back home. Two Japanese diplomats from Warsaw are under something of a cloud. The other refygee diplomats are still jealous of them because of something that happened a week ago Sunday at Cernauti. While everyone else was waiting for hours to get telephone calls through to his government. the Japanese got through clear to Toko in 10. minutes. The explanation, of ‘course, was that the Tokyo line, unlike all the others, had virtually no traffic. Most of the people at the bar spend their time talking about those who aren’t and wondering what they're up to.

LUDLOW STAYS
ON CAPITAL JOB
Many Colleagues Follow Example, Remembering His ‘Bitter Lesson.’
Times Special : WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 30.— Although eight of the 12 Indiana Congressmgent had returned home today, many from other states are staying here because of the sad experience of Rep. Louis Ludlow (D.
Ind.), they say. Rep. Ludlow was en route to Indianapolis by bus when the President called the special session to deal with neutrality. . Knowing that the opening would consist of listening to President Roosevelt’s message, Rep. Ludlow decided to remain in Indianapolis and take that by radio. But when he went out on the streets he was constantly badgered by persons saying, “Why aren’t you in Washington helping to keep us out of war?” Rep. Ludlow is a leader of the socalled “peace- bloc” and author of the War Referendum Amendment. So instead of staying several weeks, as he had planned, he gave up and returned here. The story of his unpleasant experience was spread around the House of Representatives and many Congressmen abandoned their plans to return to their states at once. i «It will take too much explaining,’* they said. Hoosiers who have gone home include Reps. Charles A. Halleck, Robert A. Grant, Forest A. Harness, Noble 'J. Johnson and Gerald W. Landis, Republicans; Rep. William T. Schulte, John W. Boehne Jr. and William H. Larrabee, Democrats. Those remaining here are Reps. Ludlow . and Eugene B. Crowe, Democrats, and. Reps.’ George W. Gillie and Raymond S. Springer, Republicans. The latter said he is studying the Senate draft of the neutrality bill and expects to listen to the debates in the Senate which commence Monday.
