Ankara, Tarksy, Oct. 16. ?Presi
dent >????* Tivmo conferred with the
new Soviet lmhaasarinr today in the
prownco of the Turkish army chief
, of staff as reports conciliated that
Turkey, friendly to both British and
Russia, would go to the aid of Greece
if the latter were attacked by Ger
many and Italy.
The fact that army ekftmia Mar
shal Fevxi Chackmak art in on the
meeting between the President and
~ Ambassador Sergei Alexandre vich
Vinagradoff was considered of spe
cial importance, particularly in view
y of reports from Bulgaria last night j
that Turkey and Russia might'
negotiate a mutual ?sfstsm i, pact
Although these reports persisted, the
foreign office spokesman said he
"had no knowledge" of such a pact
Watches Two Ways.
Confirmation of the reports ox
projected aid to Greece was lack',
ing, bat a statement was attributed
unofficially to the foreign offiee
spokesman that Turkey would march
as an ally of Britain in the event of
a drive against the Greeks either by
the Axis powers or from the direc
tion of Bulgaria.
Britain has treaty obligations to
defend Greece and is aligned with
Turkey in a defensive alliance, al
though Turkey herself is not pledg
ed directly to aid Greece.
The Turkish press meanwhile
charged openly the German advance
? into Rumania constituted a threat to
Russia as well as the Balkans and
Turkey. The official Turkish radio
reflected the same view earlier in
the week in a declaration that "two
millk>8 bayonets" would meet any
Axis drive toward the near east by
way of Turkey.
The government put words into
' action by pushing air raid precau
tions in various cities. The textile
centers of Bursa, near Istanbul, held
its first air raid drill during the day,
the populace ducking to cover when
sirens shrilled.
Commenting on German assur
ances that her military moves were
nimpH no farther south **Kyw Rmflawi*
the newspaper Yeni Sabah asserted:
"We are not surprised by German
lies, only by those who still believe
them. The German attack on the
Balkans has begun.
"Bulgaria seems contested. Of
what importance is Dobruja (ceded
by Romania to the Bulgers) if Bul
garia must live enslaved under Ger
many? Only yesterday a brave
. voice came from Yugoslavia. Hitler
despise* cowards."
Aakam in an editorial entitled
"Against Whom?" said "It is impos
sible to dismiss the fact that mili
tary occupation of Rumania by Ger
many takes on the character of a
movement against the Soviet"
