Nazis and Soviets got together in a bloc which might threaten the Fascist interests in the Balkans,

Careful With Russia

.-And now, in the southeast, Turkey has pledged herself to aid thé Allies if they are forced to fight in the

aid to Germany less likely than ever—or to aid either Rumania or Greece against an aggressor. Onl; in the east, where Germany has done an ideological about-face to create an uncertain solidarity with Soviet Russia is the way open for the Nazis to escape the noose which the Allies are attempting to draw. And on that front, both Britain and France have moved with utmost caution to avoid arousing the antagonism of the Soviets. They have side-stepped any sweeping criticism of Russia’s grab in Poland and, it was understood in London, the British and Polish refugee Governments have agreed that Poland will not necessarily seek to reclaim the territory taken by Russia if and when the Polish state is recreated.

Victory Still Uncertain

Also important in connection with the Soviets were reports that Bulgaria aad Jugoslavia “and possibly Hungary might later be the object of Turkish efforts to strengthen the Balkan position in a manner satisfactory to the Allied powers or at least opposed to aggressive thrusts in that area. All of these factors are relatively unfavorable developments from the Nazi viewpoint. They weaken Germany’s ability to fight a long war that is largely waged in the eco-

ever sabotage and unrest there may be in Austria, Czechoslovakia and| Poland. ° But they do not by any means assure the ultimate triumph of the Allied powers. That depends upon many still unanswered questions in most. of which Soviet Russia is

Nazi Strategy Develops

Nazis insisted that Russia as a source of raw materials—despite transportation difficulties — will frustrate the Allied blockade and they hinted that the Red Army _may eventually .be fighting beside the Germans. They warned Turkey that she would be “betrayed” by the Allies as the Czechs and Poles were. They emphasized that the power of the German military machine still was held back and that the effectiveness of Nazi air and submarine counter-thrusts against the British Navy so far was nothing in comparison to what might come later. They sought to separate the Allies by concentrating the attack on -Britain and leaving France comparatively untouched. The Allied powers scored their first diplomatic success against the Nazi-Soviet bloc—even the Nazis admitted—by completing their accord with Turkey. That pact relieved Britain of a repetition of the tremendous drain of men and resources in the Near East in the World War and bolstered defense of the Suez Canal life-line. But whether it would weaken or solidify the vast potential strength of Nazi-Soviet co-operation remained to be determined—and on that perhaps hinges the outcome of Europe’s war. -

Three Nations Watchdogs of Mediterranean, Istanbul Editors Write.

ISTANBUL, Turkey, Oct. 20 (U. P.).—Turkey, Great Britain and France, by their mutual aid treaty, have moved to protect their vital interests which in turn are linked closely with the peace and security of all states bordering on the Eastern Mediterranean against so-called “vital space” expansionists, Turks said today.

The new treaty was hailed as making the three nations the watchdogs of the security of the entire Eastern Mediterranean, with a! part left open for Italy if she elects to take it. Inspired sources said the treaty plainly meant a determination by Turkey, Britain and France to cooperate by means as relentless as necessary ‘to preserve the peace of the Balkans and the Mediterranean and to keep smaller states from becoming the prey of aggressors.

Text Is Published

Newspapers devoted nearly their entire first pages to stories about the alliance and to pictures of President Ismet Inonu, King George and President Albert Lebrun. It was said that the treaty signed at Ankara yesterday came only after minute preparation. The published text showed that the treaty provided: 1. The Turkish Government will aid France and Great Britain in the even of aggression in the Mediterranean which involves France and Britain either because of their guarantees to Greece-and Rumania or of aggression against French or British Mediterranean territory. 2. France and Britain will support Turkey if any aggression by a European power in the Mediterranean involves Turkey in a war.

Pledge Consultation

3. The three Governments will consult regarding any European aggression outside. the Mediterranean which involves the security of one of them or any nation to which one or another has given a pledge of independence or neutrality —that is in case of German invasion of Belgium, Holland or Switzerland or some country like Bulgaria or Jugoslavia to which future pledges might be given. 4. In case this treaty should lead to war, neither of the three Governments shall conclude a peace except by agreement with the other two. Two protocols were signed along with the treaty. The first put the treaty into effect without waiting for ratification. The second exempted Turkey from any obligation to center an armed conflict against the U. S. S. R.

Russians Are Silent On Turkey’s' Treaty

MOSCOW, Oct. 20 (U. P.).—Newspapers published today thecbare announcement that Turkey had signed a mutual aid treaty with Great Britain and France, but the official radio did not mention it and offitial

home near Fishkill, N. V,

quarters declined to comment.

HITLER RECALLS 3 AMBASSADORS

Asks Diplomats Reason for ‘Unneutral’ Action Of Turkey.

BERLIN, Oct. 20 (U. P.).—Adolf Hitler was reported today to have called the Nazi Ambassadors to Italy, Turkey and Soviét Russia to Berlin for conferences on Germany's. next maneuver in the light of Turkev's “unneutral”- action in signing a mutual aid pact| with the Allied powers. oo The press angrily but without special emphasis denounced Turkey’s “mistake” as aiding the desire of Britain and Fraace to spread the war. Nazis declined to admit that the new treaty was a diplomatic defeat for Germany. Fuehrer Hitler's | preparations for the next move, meanwhile, included: 1. Return to Berlin of Baron Franz von Papen, the Nazi Ambassador to Turkey, who is due to report to the Fuehrer this evening. 2. Instructions for Dr. Hans von Mackensen to come from Rome to report on Italian reaction to the treaty. It was understood the Ambassador _ would survey the Fascist viewpoint, ‘perhaps at a conference with Italian Premier Benito Mussolini, before leaving Rome. ’

Press Plays If Down

3. The expected return this weekend of Count Frederick von der Schulenburg, Ambassador to Moscow, for a report to Herr Hitler on his conversations this week with Soviet Foueign Commissar Viacheslav: Molotov. The German press played down the signing of the Turkish-British-French alliance, but comment emphasized the German view that Turkey “can no longer be classed as a neutral.” The newspapers played up, meanwhile, the announcement that Germany and Russia had ratified their recent friendship accord. Ratification of the Russo-German pact was Germany’s answer to the Turkish pact, Nazis said. Nazi commentators added that they were “sorry” for Turkey.

Predict “Betrayal”

“Mark my words, the Western Powers will betray Turkey just as they betrayed Poland and Czechoslovakia,” said one Nazi. They said that Turkey would be wise to realize that her real interests were linked with Germany and Russia and her relations with the Allies secondary. A Foreign Office spokesman asserted that the way was still clear for Turkish-Russian negotiations and said that in his own opinion

s

Turkey might find a way to “slip out” of its new obligations.

British Say Turkish Pact Secures Italy; Balkans Closed to Hitler, Ankara Cries

London Rejoices at First Diplomatic Victory Since War Began.

LONDON, Oct. 20 (U. P).— Britons rejoiced today at the conclusion’ of an Allied alliance with Turkey which, they tbelieved, had stopped any German thrust toward the Black Sea and had given Italy substantial reason not to cast her lot with Germany in the war. It was the first diplomatic success of the Allies since Germany and Russia concluded a trade agreement Aug. 19 and followed it with a nonaggression treaty Aug. 23. Turkey is safeguarded against entering a war with Russia unless Turkey desires to do so, but. the British and French are. not at war with Russia and hope not to be. Therefore the tendency here was to regard Turkey, situated in an area of

‘enormous strategic importance, as

a full ally with an army of 200,000 good soldiers, two million trained reserves and 1000 airplanes. In the World War Turkey was an invaluable ally of Germany—one without whom she could not have fought the war for four years.

Canal Italy's Life-Line

Turkish forts dominate Italy’s fortified Dodecanese Islands, Turkey is the key nation of the entire Near East, Turkey borders both on the Black Sea and Mediterranean Sea, Turkey holds the Dardanelles Straits which links these. seas, and Turkey has naval bases at Izmit, in the Sea of Marmora, and at Chesme, on the Smyrna Coast. Turkey is in position to aid Britain in keeping open its life line through the Suez Canal—or in cutting Italy’s life-line to Ethiopia. Behind the treaty lay long range activity by Britain, Turkey had been carefuly nurtured as an ally. In 1938 Britain granted her 80 million dollars in credits to develop her industry and buy war supplies. Now, it seemed, the long British preparation had fructified. Italy seemed unlikely to enter a war in which Turkey would be aligned against it. As Turkey does not want to go to war with Russia and seeks its friendship, it was regarded as possible that Russia would not want to antagonize Turkey. Turkey is the spokesman for the Balkan Entente (Turkey, Rumania, Greece and Jugoslavia) and, in its present position, by far the strongest of them and the one which could take the lead in any combined action. ,

Discloses One-Sided Pledge

An important side light to the new alliance, and to the position of Turkey and Russia as old friends, was a written reply to a question, given in the House of Commons yesterday by R. A. Butler, Parliamentary Undersecretary for Foreign Affairs." He disclosed that Britain's guarantees to Poland against attack covered only Germany and that, with the consent of Poland, Russia was excluded. Investigation of this situation led to reports: 1. That in an: exchange of views last week by August Zaleski, new Poiish Foreign Minister, and Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and Viscount Halifax, Foreign Secretary, it was agreed that a reconstituted Poland should not seek to reclaim territory which Russia has occupied. This territory was not part of the peace-treaty Poland. It was seized by Poland from Russia after the constitution of the Polish Republic, as the Vilna territory was seized from Lithuania. 2. That the agreement would be confirmed publicly when Great Britain and France decided that the time was opportune to outline their war aims, 3

5 DARIS SEES HITLER

HALTED IN BALKANS

PARIS, Oct. 20 (U. P.).—France, Great Britain and Turkey have called a halt to German expansionism in the Balkans by. their treaty and have opened up diplomatic pos-

d | sibilities of almost incalculable im-

portance, it was:aserted today. The treaty, in the view of French people, solidly establishes the security of the Eastern Mediterranean, halt the German advance toward the Balkans and opens the Dardanelles Strait for the French and British navies. . But the pact’s moral importance was held to be even greater. The fact that Turkey stood firm against Russian demands rather than encroach upon its engagements with France and Britain enormously increases French and British prestige in the Balkans, it was said, and this offsets the potentialities of Russia's pacts with Germany. Further, the view was still held here that the three-power pact might yet prove a diplomatic bridge for fruitful negotiations, or private understandings, between France and

Britain on one side and Russia on the other,

NAZIBLOW NEAR ON WEST FRONT

Or Wait Until Spring, : Miller Writes.

> f

(Continued from Page One)

though the numbers now are less than they have been during past weeks. Unless Adolf Hitler does decide to strike within the next few weeks it is highly likely that the present status of siege warfare will continue throughout the winter. : This is my purely personal opinjon based on my experience in the World War and my personal knowledge of the region on both sides of the frontier where millions of men now face each other. Six times since the World War I have traveled over the whole battlefield.

Steady Rain Continues :

In my opinion an indirect attack through neutral territory, is unlikely this fall or winter. Days of continuous rain have rendered the ground extremely difficult for movements of motorized bodies of troops. Everywhere rivers are in flood and steady rain continues today. What seems more likely from what is known of Herr Hitler's troop disposition and the geography of the regions involved is that any medium scale attack would be designed to try to eject the French from any strip of German territory they may hold. But it must always be kept in mind that the German military mind is traditionally fond of great flanking or. turning movements. Gen. Wilhelm Keitel, chief of the High Command of the German armed forces, is well known to adhere to these ideas. Sub War May Be Pushed

Judging by the progress of the war thus far and the lines of Herr Hitler's diplomacy as revealed up to now, it is my opinion that the most likely course of events in the next few months is a comparative stalemate on the Western Front while Herr Hitler concentrates his efforts by submarine and bombing attack on the British Navy and merchant marine. But there is no doubt that both British and French troops would like nothing better than a mass German attack upon the Maginot Line, which is perhaps at least one reason why the Germans may not try it. Military observers here are much interested in Gen. Maurice Gustave Gamelin’s tactics as ‘revealed thus far, that is, irritating attacks carefully prepared and executed with

extraordinarily small losses.

Then, when the Germans retaliate, they find in extreme outpost lines only small parties of determined machine gunners who inflict as heavy losses as possible and then retire, The German attackers suddenly find themselves hitting into the air, while Gen. Gamelin’s artillery cuts them to bits.

Both Sides Consolidate

Western Front Positions

PARIS, Oct. 20 (U. P.).—French and German soldiers in advanced areas of the Western Front consolidated their positions today in the new line established after German counter attacks Monday. Trenches were dug, barbed wire

position. The High Command, in war communique No. 93,” said: “The night was quiet. The weather was rainy. There was patrol activity on both sides at many points.”

Calm Re-established,

Germany Declares

BERLIN, Oct. 20 (U. P.).—The High Command said in a communique today that fighting southeast of Saarbruecken.on the Western Front had ended and that calm had been re-established. There was no particular development on the entire front, it was said, other than local artillery activity and reconnaissance work.

NEW POLISH STATE HINTED BY HITLER

BERLIN, Oct. 20 (U. P.).—There were new indications today that Germany planned eventually to set up a puppet Polish state. It was learned from reliable sources that Poles were being moved out of the newly created provinces of West Prussia and Posen, whose annexation to Germany was announced yesterday in a decree by Adolf Hitler, and that’ the dispossessed Poles were being given no compensation but that it would be left to any Polish state set up under German supervision, to provide the compensation. The area Germany annexed was less than half that it seized from Poland. There remains an area of

center of what once was Poland, between the German-annexed and the Russian-occupied regions, where a puppet state might be established. In West Prussia and Posen, German minorities from the Baltic states and other parts of Europe are being established. Many repatriated Germans from the Baltic states have been landed at Gotenhafen — for-

two weeks and it was reported that their movement to the interior already had begun. : : The Poles moved from those provinces are being settled in the region still not annexed: It was said that it might take three years to get them all out of the new provinces. ats German quarters reported that minority Germans from Russia would be settled in the northern section of the former Polish Corridor but it was feared that there might be some difficulty mixing them with Germans from the Baltics, who consider themselves on a higher cultural level. ’

Claims “Idiotic Assumption” Senator Johnson, who with Sen-

arms embargo repeal, Senators who argue that Adolf Hit-

turn to the United States are guilty of “an idiotic assumption.”

“If we were not afflicted with a:

war psychology we would not listen to this reason for repeal of the arms embargo for one-quarter of a second,” he said. “Hitler will never conquer Europe. It has never been done by anyone yet. The closest approach to any was by Napoleon, and to compare Hitler to Napoleon is absurd. “Again, England in the play of power politics has no equal, and when this war is over she will be ab th: same old game at which ambitious and snobbish Americans will still be trying their hand.”

Lists ‘Self-Evident Truths’

Mr. Johnson said that after listening to hours and hours of debate, he has found that “these truths are self-evident.” “1. That the repeal of the em bargo favors the Allies. “2. That such repeal accomplished after the beginning of the war would be unneutral.” An incomplete United Press check among 60 House Democrats who voted against repealing the embargo last session showed at least 13 now favor President Roosevelt's proposal to lift the ban on shipping of arms, ammunition and implements of war, and substitution of a strict cash-and-carry requirement. A shift of 21 votes would be necessary to reverse the House's 214 to 173 vote last session, when the embargo was put back in the Bloom hill on motion of Rep. John M. Vorys, (R. 0.) House leaders, outwardly confident of victory, have delayed a formal poll until the Senate bill is put in final form.

New Support for Revision

New and influential support for neutrality revision came as “the non-partisan committee for peace through revision of the neutrality law” claimed that a poll of American Legionnaires at their Chicago convention “last month showed 66

more than 75 per cent of the Legionnaires questioned.”

Charges Constitution Stretched

On the Senate side, meanwhile, Senator Olva B. Adams (D. Colo.), arms embargo repeal supporter, charged that the Administration is “stretching the Constitution” in attempting to prohibit American ships froni stopping at belligerent ports in Europe. “I do not find this power in the Constitution,” Senator Adams said in an interview. “How can we assume jurisdiction over the destination of a ship on the high seas and make it a crime for that ship to go to a certain port? “Our jurisdiction ends either at the three-mile or the 12-mile limit. I just don’t see where we get the power to extend it. It seems to me that this is stretching the Constitution.”
