Soviet Attending
To0wn Interests
Only, Says Editor

ANKARA, Turkey, Oct. lS. up
The semi-official newspaper illus
warned editorialy today that fan
taste conclusions regarding the
future Soviet Russian foreign poll
cy as a result of German expansion
in the Balkans should be avoided
Falih Rifki Atay. editor of illus,
organ of the Peoples party, said
that too much Importance should
not be attached even to Russian
denials of reports regarding Soviet
policy. He referred specifically to
Moscow denials that Russia fav-
ored an Anglo Turkish and {
Greek Jugoslav bloc and to Rus
sian denial of reports that Moscow
had been informed in advance of
the German occupation Of Rumania
There is no doubt that these
denials. particularly the second
open the way for fanciful fore
casts, Atay wrote. He said Soviet
policy is one of absolute neutrality
and added. The Soviet Union in
the face of struggle which threat
ems to become world wide. is con-
cerned only with its own interest
for the present it is impos-
sible 10 gather any other meaning
from the language used"
Considerable Importance was at
tached TO the article in informed
circles here where it was regarded
as an authoritative declaration that
the Turks should not be over
confident of Soviet aid if Turkey
should become involved in war un-
less Russia's own interests were
threatened.
An official Turkish source said
that HAPPILY Tllrko-Soviet rela-
tions are better than they have
been in months" and at the same
time it was intimated strongly that
efforts were being made to bring
about closer understanding be-
tween Moscow and Ankara.
