British circles indicated the mu-
tual assistance treaty would be re-
garded by Britain as good "insur-
ance' against extension of German
influence in Southeastern Euorpe.
Turkeys signature, it was said,
would not preclude her from resum-
ing negotiations with Russia at some
future time, possibly on basis diff
ferent from that upon which the
recent Turkish Russian talks were
snagged.
Nazi Seen Main Losers.
British diplomatic observers and
virtually the entire press contended
that German diplomacy was the
main loser in the suspension of talks
between Turkey and Russia.
In some quarters it was regarded
as . Nazi failure to shake Turkey,
watchdog of the Dardanelles," from
the British and French front and
as an event that might prove deci-
sive in the war.
Although these sources consider
ed it also a defeat for the Soviet
Union, they contrasted the express
sions of continued friendliness be-
tween Turkey and Russia with what
they interpreted as signs of a cool
ing off in relations between Ger
many and Turkey.
Germany's, Ambassador to Turkey,
Franz Won Papen, was described in
the press as having brought intense
pressure on Turkey to win her from
the western powers. Won Papen's
departure from Ankara for Berlin
yesterday, on what was said to have
been summons from his govern
ment, was reported gleefully by the
British press.
In some diplomatic quarters it
was suggested that Russia, merely as
q formality to satisfy Germany, may
have made last-minute demands on
Turkey to abandon Britain and

officials said the speech AM
bassador Joseph c. Grew made in
Toxic today on Japan's policy in
China faithfully reflected the views
of the Government here.
The text of the speech was not
submitted in advance to the State
Department and Mr.. Grew did not
Immediately provide an official
resume. But 1t was explained here
that advance submission of the text
was not necessary.
While in Washington last month,
the Ambassador saw President
Roosevelt and talked frequently
with Secretary Hull, Undersecretary
Welles and other State Department
officials. Thus he had full occasion
to learn the sentiments Of the ad-
ministration with regard to Japan
and her movements in China.
One official reminded that there
was nothing new in the Grew speech
so far as this Government was con-
cerned. What the Ambassador said
had previously been said here and
also communicated to Japan in fire.
quent notes. The last such note,
sent December 81, was a compre-
hensive statement Of American posi-
ton. The Japanese have not re-
piled to it.
The importance of Mr.. Crews
speech was regarded here as de-
irving from the fact that he made
the statements Immediately follow
ing his return from Washington.
The Ambassador is said to be nightly
regarded by the Japanese and his
words to them may have an appreci-
able effect.

Government Agency
Administrators Meet

Administrators of the Govern
ment's many agencies gathered last
night under the banner of their
unofficial urban security adminis-
tration" to further their studies on
how to make the Federal Govern
ment more management-co conscious.
Members of the U. S. A.-Wash-
ington's chapter of the Society for
the Advancement of Management
engaged in a round-table discus
sion of Government management
problems following a dinner at
Barker Hall in the Y. w. c. A.
Budget Director Harold Smith
pointed out that the Federal Gov
ernment is tagging far behind the
average city in this country in
general planning and management.
Other administrative leaders ar
gued that management in the Fed
eral Government should become
more objective and less PERSONAL
lied and departmentalized around
pressure groups.
John M. Carmody, administrator
of the Federal Works Agency, said
he believed there was too much
budget making" and suggested a
closer co-ordinated and more SIM
plifled administrative setup.
The meeting was in charge of the
society president, John j. Hader OF
the Social Security Board.

Step declared Useless.
1T would be fine for the Presi-
dent to suggest peace on those terms
if Hitler would consider it, but he
wouldn't, and it would be a use
less step to ask him to-"
Senator Wheeler, leader of the
successful fight against the Presi-
dents court bill in 1887, took this
position:
"Mr. Hitler is saying that he wants
peace. Mr.. Chamberlain and Mr..
Daladier are saying that they want
peace. 1t seems to me that the
President could very well say to Mr..
Hitler: If you want peace, will you
make peace and at the conference
table let the question of Poland and
Czecho-Slovakia be decided?'
III the answer were affirmative,
he could say to Mr.. Chamberlain and
Mr.. Dalidier: Mr.. Hitler will con-
sent to peace in which the integrity
of Poland and Czecho-Slovakia is to
be considered. Will you consider a
revamping of the Versailles treaty?"
Senator Lundeen, expressing SIM
liar views, asserted 1T is always in
order to suggest an end to war"
Il don't think we ought to try to
guarantee any European boundaries, -
he declared, but if they could get
together around a conference table it
would at least be chance for peace. -
Senator johnson, Democrat, OF
Colorado who recently proposed re-
cessing Congress in order to give the
President free hand to negotiate
for peace, said he was afraid that
the opportunity for the President to
act has passed already"
He added. however, that he would
call for action on his proposal if
there appeared to be any chance
that peace efforts by Mr.. Roosevelt
might be successful.

decide Turkeys paramount interest
lies in establishing the best of rela-
tions with Soviet Russia.
These sources professed not to be
worried over the breaking of of the
Moscow talks between the Turkish
foreign minister and Russian
leaders. They expressed confidence
that Turkey will never embark upon
an active policy against Germany.
Should this expectation not be
fulfilled" one commentator said
graphically but menacingly, mat
urally corresponding reaction would
become manifest here"
German sources argued that
Turkeys relationship with the Soviet
Union is purely a Turkish affair,
but at the same time Franz Won
Papen, German Ambassador to
Turkey, considered the situation i'm
portant enough to inform his gov

|ckes Suggests Alaska
As Possible European

Private Cooperation

Alaska was suggested as . pos.
sible colony for refugees today BY
Secretary Of Interior 1ckes, who
stated that the President might well
lay the report Of the National Re-
sources Board on the possibilities
Of Alaska before the Intergovern-
mental Committee on Refugees.
This suggestion followed presen.
tation to the committee Of a memo-
randum from the American Jewish
Congress. calling for the rescue "
5000, 900 Jews in Eastern and Gen.
trail Europe.
The Intergovernmental Commit
tee has been holding sessions at
the State Department this week, but
was in adjournment today until
october 26.
Secretary Ickes' suggestion was
made at his press conference today.
He said he believed the COMMITTEES
could profitably study the Resources
Board report in making plans for
resettlement.
AuuuStllcS Proposed.
The report indicated that at least
10000 refugees might find a live
Ihood in Alaska and recommended
that private capital establish in.
dustries and factories there.
I believe Alaska to be a prac-
ticable place of refuge" Mr.. Ickes
commented. There is no reason
why these refugees can't live in
Alaska as well as in the Scandin.
avian countries"
The plan for industrial develop.
ment, he explained, would not en-.
tail a burden on the Treasury,
since it called upon private industry
to invest the necessary capital.
Mr.. 1ckes pointed out that col.
onists to Alaska could include
Americans, along with European
refugees. ANY American can pack
his bag and start to Alaska tomor.

The memorandum from the Jew

committee expand its work to in,

the task OF rescue of all the victims
OF racial and political oppression
ana to accept within the purview Of
ltS activities :. the refugees from
partltloned Poland, Italy, Hungary
and possibly Rumania."
Asks Definition Revision.
The Congress asked that the term
refugee be REDEEMED so as to in
clude thousands of Jews imprisoned
IN European countries. The mem
orandum states that there are five
million Jews in Eastern and Central
Europe who cannot escape exter-
mination unless civilized nations are
moved to undertake their rescue"
