Nazi Negotiations
For Understanding
With Soviet Reported
Won Popen Is En- Route to
Berlin in Connection
With Pact Porleys

By the Associated Press.
BUCHAREST, Rumania, Nov. O.
Nazis In Rumania said last night
that Germany was initiating nego-
tiatiors with Soviet Russia for an
understanding on the Balkans and
Near East.
Hitler was reported to be using
his veteran trouble-shooter, Franz
Won Papen, now Ambassador to Tur-
key. Won Papen left here yesterday
en- route to Berlin and it was re-
ported that his return is in con-
nection with the proposed under
standing.
Germany was represented as
anxious to eliminate any possibility
of conflict with. Russia over both
the Dardanelles, which Turkey
guards. or over oil-rich Iran and
other areas where the interests OF
the two great powers may overlap.
The Germans are willing to make
some concessions, it was reported,
but 1t was considered problematical
whether an agreement satisfactory
to both parties could be effected.
Aim to Impress United States.
Nazis here said an understanding
of this character between Germany
and Russia would force Turkey and
Bulgaria on the same bandwagon
and might smother or at least To-
calize the Italian War.
1t would, they added, be in line
with other recent Hitler moves de-
signed to limit the scope of the war
and incidentally impress the United
States before it is too late" with
a picture of an axis-reorganized
world
Until such an accord Is reached,
certain German-Russian questions
will remain in a state of suspension,
it was indicated. These include the
matter of which group of powers
will control the mouth OF the
Danube.
After nearly a week of confer
ences here, German, Russian, ltal-
ian and Rumanian specialists have
not announced any definite settle
ment of the issue.
In the last two days there has
been no formal session of the new
Danube commission. What caused
the suspension of negotiations has
not been announced officially, but
(the remainder of the sentence was
censored.
Two Reveal Decisions.
Yesterday both the Turkish and
Yugoslav governments explained
their decisions to stay out of war
for the present, Turkey through an
address by President 1smet 1nonu
to the National Assembly and
Yugoslavia in government COM
munique.
The Belgrade announcement said
the nations efforts to stay on good
terms with her neighbors had re-
ceived definite and open recogni-
ton from Berlin and Rome"
These statements lined Turkey
and Yugoslavia up with Bulgaria as
the three Balkan powers whose
leaders have promised to stay out OF
the struggle at least for the present.
In Sofia semi official circles ex-
pressed satisfaction with Inonu's
speech and were understood to have
welcomed, likewise, the new state
ment by the Belgrade government.
Soviet quarters in both Sofia and
Belgrade were pleased by Inonu's
open recognition of Turkeys i'm
proved relations with Russia, which
foreign observers regarded as the

take the field against an enemy, but there
would be no help for us if we failed to have
them ready.
This registration is not an act Of war. In
the final analysis, it is a step for peace. For
with the totalitarian powers rampant in the
world we could not hope to escape the fate
of the conquered nations should we fail to
make ourselves strong enough to resist any
attack.
In Wilmington and New Hanover county, the
machinery for registration is well organized
under the competent direction of H. G. Carney.
In addition to the large volunteer staff, the
Atlantic Coast Line and the Tide Water Power
compan have sent groups to help with the
heavy clerical work. The job before them
should be done, and well done, by closing
time. 1t will contribute materially to this de-
sirable achievement if all men eligible for
the draft submit themselves for enrolment
in a continuous stream at the various polling
places and remain patient during any delay
that may arise. They should remember that
it takes time to complete each Individual rec
ord. The progress of the registration will be
smoother if all registrants "take it easy"

Welcome, Senator

Wilmington is fortunate to have a visit from
Senator Bailey at this time. There are so
many matters closely related to national de-
tense engaging this districts attention, in the
development of which Senator Bailey has ex-
pressed interest and can exert a deciding in
fluence, that his coming is Of extraordinary
importance.
While the senator will try his hand with
rod and reel, as he richly deserves to do after
the strenuous months of the present congress
sional session, he will also give time to a
study of this coastal section and its defense
and needs. 1t is inevitable that
when he returns to the capital he will be in
a better position to act for southeastern North
Cardinals advancement in this pressing emer-
gency than he has ever been before.

Rumania Sunk

To Rumanians watching German troops pa.
rade through their capital while German
planes roar in hundreds overhead the ~explana-
ton that these warlike guests have come by
invitation of their new dictatorial government
can hardly hide the painful truth. Rumania is
now a conquered nation, an Axis puppet.
Possibly Rumanians can find some ~consola-
ton in the thought that so far this change,
which has meaning for every single person
in that country, has brought with it compare
lively little bloodshed. But even that is poor
comfort indeed when it looks more and more
os if their country is to become a battlefield,
oooner or later.
The latest indication that Rumania is only
entering upon another time of suffering comes
from Turkey. At Ankara the warning has gone
out over the official radio that the Germans
will not find Turkey an easy road to Egypt.
