Turkey May Fight
Il Peace Terms Give
Syria 10 Italy
Nation Much Concerned
Over Fate of French
Mediterranean Fleet
By LELAND STOWE.

Chicago Daily News Foreign Correspondent
ANKARA, June 19.-In this model
capital that Kemal Ataturk built
the Turks are waiting with deer
anxiety for the peace terms that
Fuehrer Hitler is preparing to die
tate to France. The Turks are wor-
ried about Syria, right next door
If the French, who have been gov
erning Syria under mandate for %
years, now suddenly were forced out
and If the Italians should replace
the French, the chances are that
Turkey will fight. Today the Turks
are unanimous in declaring that
they will never tolerate an Italian
toehold in Syria. let alone a Fascist
administration there.
Syria constitutes Turkeys first
vital interest in whatever peace is
imposed on France because the
presence of any unfriendly power
there exposes the entire southern
flank of the Ottoman republic to
invasion. Having nothing but hope
to cling to, the Turks are clinging
to promise given last week by
Baron Franz Won Papen. The Nazi
Ambassador when counseling Turkey
not to join the Allies, voiced the
assurance that Italy would not get
Syria. But fears felt here are far
from silenced.
Concerned Over Fleet.
Secondly, the Turks are much con-
cerned about the possible DISPOSE
ton OF Frances Mediterranean
fleet. 1t is stated here that If the
Italians should fall heir to this
portion of the French Navy, Turkey
could not fail to regard such a de-
velopment as direct threat to her
existence. AS unchallenged mari
time car of the Mediterranean,
Italy would control all of the Asia
Minor coast and the Aegean Sea
Sooner or later that would be sure
to draw the Turks into the war.
Accordingly. the prospects OF
Italian aggrandizement in the Med

manly possible.
Soft Voice or Big Stick.
Hitler's terms to France will DEM
onstrate to Ankara whether Berlin
intends to use soft voice or a big
stick with the Turks. The present
mood here is to do the utmost to
avoid trouble with Germany, but
to retain the facade of the alliance
with Britain against a rainy day
in case Albion turns up a long shot
winner.
Like Rumania, Turkey is rapidly
trimming her sails to the NaEi
tornado. Nevertheless she has no
intention to risk her arteries being
opened by new hostile neighbor
installed in Syria.
Until Syria's fate is known the
Turks will not breathe easily, nor
can peace be more than a prayer
in the Near East.

Turkey Is Expected
To Turn to Russia

1STANBUL, June 10 (N.A.NA., by
Radio The collapse Of France be-
fore Germany has created a more
immediate policy problem for Turkey
Evening star., 1940-06-19

than Italy's entry into the war on
the side Of the Nazis.
Any sort of peace between France
and Germany would alter the
status quo in the Mediterranean
sufficiently to influence Turkey. The
only policy possible here now is:
No war unless attacked, coupled
with an attempt to seek reori-
entation.
The talk of peace has brought the
reorientation problem to a head. The
Turks lately have relied on the
Allies for protection in the Medit-
erranean. Now, though nominally
remaining pro-Allied, Turkey is
seeking new protector.
The field is limited to Germany,
Italy and Russia. Turkey is most
likely to try the latter, as the ma
tons present leaders are pro-Soviet.
Therefore, it is likely that overtures
toward the Soviet will be made soon.
The Soviet's price for protection,
learned in Moscow recently, will be
high.
Facing new difficulties, the Turks
are doubling preparedness and
awaiting the fate of France.

CAIRO, June 19.-An entirely
successful" bombing attack on
an italian submarine in the Medi-
terranean was reported today by
the British Royal Air Force.
An r. A. F. communique said two
British fighters sighted the sub
marine while on patrol yestrday
and signaled to their base.
A Blenheim bomber was sent out
and dived on the submarine while
the fighting planes machine-gunned
the coming tower. Subsequent re-
ports from naval craft said the at
tack was entirely successful"
The communique added that in
a British attack yesterday at Tes-
senei, Italian Eritrea, a hangar
was hit and believed to have been
destroyed. Raheita, also in Eritrea,
was twice raided and bombed.
The Southern Rhodesian air force
carried out a most successful" Of
fensive and reconnaissance over
Southern Ethiopia, it was said.
These airmen bombed a military
post.
A British communique told how
italian transport columns were "de-
moralized" two days ago by a party
OF British armored fighting We
hicles. The locale of the action was
indicated as "the western desert"
Italian strength was estimated at
four guns, 300 infantrymen and an
escort of light tanks.
Superior armament o fthe Brit
ish tanks so completely demoral-
lied the enemy that some of the
crews even left their tanks, with
disastrous results to themselves"
the communique said. Enemy
casualties were believed 20 or 30
killed, number wounded and some
taken prisoners. British casualties
were nil"
The effect of Egyptian anti-air-
craft batteries. the communique
stated, accounted largely for "the
wild action and lack of positive re-
suits for Italian air action"
