Turks See New Pact Sign
OF Growing Friendship

1STANBUL, Feb. IL @.-Con-
clusion of an Italian Turkish trade
agreement was reported yesterday
by official quarters, with the predic-
ton that Italy would oust Germany
completely from the expanding Turk
ish market as a result of the pact.
Informed circles acclaimed the
agreement, expected to be signed
shortly, as evidence of growing mu-
tual confidence between Italy and
Turkey and said it gave promise of
an early political rapprochement.
These circles said the pact carried
great political significance because
it would align italy beside Britain
and France in establishing Turkeys
economy, which has been greatly
shaken by the virtual suspension of
trade with the Reich.
Added importance was attached
to this development because Turkey,
while occupying acknowledgement
status, has mutual assistance pacts
with Britain and France.

IfaIo-Turk Trade Pact

Foscists HoiI Agreement
As Logical Move in
Commercial Drive
By the Associated Press.

ROME, Feb. IA trade pact
between italy and Turkey is near
ing completion, and authoritative
Fascists regard it as q logical step
in the italian drive for commercial
eminence in the Balkans.
Whatever its effect may be In
further excluding Germany from
Southeastern Europe and In placing
Italy In friendly relationship with
Turkey, nation in the British
French political orbit, they saw
Italy's only interest is Improvement
Of her own trade.
Fascist sources here say the chief
significance is that Italy's energetic
Balkan leadership has been shown
thus far to have kept Southeastern
Europe out Of hostilities and there
fore, has made her trade progress
with Turkey possible.
1t Is denied here that the prospec-
tive agreement has any direct
political aspects.
Italy and Turkey enjoyed q
flourishing pre-depression trade.
Commercial accords in 1896 and
1885 went far to re-establish it,
Italian Turkish commerce in the
latter year amounting to about
$20, 900 600.
italian trade circles hope the new
agreement will double this.
Turkey sent trade mission here
early this year, as agreement in
principle on trade increases had
been reported, but the conferees en-
gagged in long talks on details of
products and quantities to exchange.

 The best informed expert l know tells me the answer lies in Russia s reaction to the Axis thrust into Greece. If Russia thinks the Axis can wrest control of the Medtterr- anean away from the British, ex- peet a signal from Moscow to Tur- key to go to the aid Of the Greeks.

 Analyses
 Greek Conflict
By MORGAN BEATTY AP Feature Service Writer)

WASHINGTON Nov 15 The Italian attack on Greece has the double purpose Of (1) opening the battle of the Mediterranean and @ Walling off Russia from the war once again.
 That's the opinion of experts here.
 Greece was chosen as the curtain raiser for the battle of the Mediter- ranean for four reasons:
 1. Direct Italian thrusts at Egypt thu sfar have failed to loosen the British grip on the suez gateway. (Hitler was at MussOlinis side when the newest plan was launched.
 ?. The struggle for Greece diverts British strength from both Gibral- ter and Suez. making easier a Ger man sally at GibraIter and a con- tinuing Italian drive at Egypt and the Suez That's an adoption of the familiar German plan, to dart at the enemy's center then envelop him.
 3. If the Greeks are wOrsted, the Germans and Italians can button up the last button on the Balkans the Salonika gateway. That's the only gap left open for a future Bri- tish effort to reseue the Balkans from the Axis.
 4. 4 victorious Italy might ac- quire hundreds Of Aegean islands which. up to now, have been ideal bases of operations for the Bri- tish East Mediterranean fleet. These islands would be stepping stones To Suez for the Italian fleet. fAnd so would be stepping stones to Suez for the Italian fleet. lAnd so would be Syria, by the way, if France a. grees to let the Axis use her colon ies as bases.
 Possibly more significant, how ever, than all these purely strateg- ie reasons for the attack on Greece, is what appears to be the Axis plan to keep Russia out of the war.
 Before the war, Germany offered Russia better trade arrangements than the British, in return for non aggression. Russia broke off with Britain, signed with Germany.
 Germany attacked and subdued Poland. after first guaranteeing, Russia a generous slice of the spells
