Why Britain Helps Turkey
cleveland Plain Dealer

The agreement between Britain and Turkey made
lin the interests of their national security" seems
to be definite than the pledges London has re-
Gently made to other small states There is a reason
The alliance is primarily designed to protect British
interests in the eastern Mediterranean and in the
Near East and secondarily, to forge link in the
anti-aggression bloc
Turkeys strategic situation the Dardanelles
gateway to the Black Sea, her proximity to Egypt
and Palestine, her command of the eastern OF
the Mediterranean at the mouth of Suez, make her
most desirable ally. She can act as sentinel for Lon
dons imperial interests in and around the Middle Sea.
Britain, of course promises to aid Turkey should
she be attacked. Thus is brought back situation
similar to that existing during the Russo Turkish war
of 1876 When the Gar went to the rescue of the
Turkish-ruled Bulgarians in that year the British
fleet prevented him from occupying Constantnope.
Later Britain took part in the Congress of Berlin,
siding with Bismarck against the Russians.
Britain fears Russian designs today much as
she did in the last century but for different
Then it question of blocking Russian territorial
expansion and today it is question of hating the
spread of Soviet theology.
But Russians and Turks are close friends today
virtually allies This was demonstrated early in the
week after the visit to Ankara of Vladimir Potemkin,
Soviet Vice Commissar for Foreign Affairs Some
observers believe that through the Turkish alliance
the differences between London and Moscow will be
compromised and Russia brought into the anti-Hitler
bloc. 1t pointed out that the Anglo Turkish pledge
would not have been announced had not London de-
termined agreement with the Russians.
If Britain goes far in reciprocity with the Rus
slams as she has with the Turks Moscow will sign an
accord. But to come to an understanding with the
Soviet Union to promise military aid the Russians
demand, Britain must forego a traditional distrust
of the bear that walks like man. Only if Downing
Street believes the European situation has reached
critical phase will she make such concession Delay
however but encouragement to Hitler for it informs
him that his prospective foes divided and it is on
international division that dctators thrive.

nate enough to find working capital to

Scribners is associated with many of the famous
names of English and American literature. In its
early days it introduced Americans to Robert Louis
Stevenson and Rudyard Kipling, followed by present
ing Bret Harte Edith Wharton Thomas Nelson Page
and, in more recent years, William Faulkner, Thomas
Wolfe and Ernest Hemingway. That is small dis
tincton for any magazine.
During the past three years Scrbners changed
its formal completely, with great emphasis upon
photography and color reproductions of modern art
yet still maintaining its tradition forum for new
literary talent.
So from start to finish, Scribners was magazine
