Al the Turkish embassy it was ad-

barrassing to the sultan to be forced
to commit himself on such a request,
and it was considered unlikely that
action one way or the other might
end Turkish neutrality, which SO far
has been rigidly adhered to iespite
pressure extended from outside the
empire. Officials stated that unless no
other course was open. it was highly
unlikely that Turkey would submit to
a change in it's own policy because of
outside influence.
