An Expert
Appraises
The War
BY ]. W. I. MASON
United Press War Expert

Reports in Rome that Germany
and Italy have asked Turkey TO
clarity its Balkan position indicate
uncertainty concerning a possible
russo Turkish entente If war
should break out In southeastern
Europc over division Of territory.
Strong opposition Is developing
among the Rumapian people
against voluntary surrender of ter
ritory to Bulgaria and Hungary,
with Russia and Turkey occupying
vulture positions. Hitler and Mus
solisi thus cannot regard the un-
easy conditions at their back door
as being satisfactorily settled.
Turkey not only has military
alliance with Great Britain. but
also is firmly determined to MAIN
tain close relations with Russia.
Russia Is understood to be
DESTROYS of obtaining some con-
troll over the Dardanelles ut the
expense Of Turkey, but Stain
recently has halted Russian
newspaper comment about the
Dardanelles issue.
The more immediately-im-
portant issue for Russia Ii TO
find some way of trying to
check Germany and Italy from
obtaining preponderant power
In southeastern Europe.
Turkey offers an opportunity to
Stain for causing fresh confusion
in the Balkan situation. and re-
ports Of a new Russian policy of
friendliness toward Turkey seem
due to that fact. Thus. Germany
and Italy are asking the Turks to
explain their position IL the Balkans
were to be reorganized under axis
influences.
Turkey must become uneasy
over extension Of German pow
or In the Balkans because of
Germany's known ambition TO
move through Asia Minor TO
Bagdad. an inheritance from
the Hohenzollern regime.
Turkey. too. would look with dis
quietude at Italian domination Of
the eastern Mediterranean because
of danger to the Turkish coast
and especially to the Mediterra-
mean exit of the Dardanelles. The
totalitarian powers thus must count
on Turkish suspicion when inquiry
is made an Ankara regarding the
Balkans.

At : special meeting Of the Col
lege Of Puget Sound trustees
Monday afternoon. the proposal o.
President Edward H. Todd to use
money nov IN the building fund
for construction Of = student
union building was approved. De-
tails were left IN the hands Of the
executive committee. Architects
are working on the plans and II Il
the intention to have the building
ready for occupancy this fall.
The building viii be of brick
veneer 100 by 70 feet, two stories
high. and win conform as far a.
possible to the architecture of the
other college buildings. Because 1t
Is an immediate necessity and
there are not sufficient funds to
conform 10 the same permanent
character of the other buildings,
the new structure probably viii be
erected on property owned by the
college on the east side Of Law
renee street opposite the main en-
trance to the campus.
Consider Two Sites
That matter. however. Is in the
hands of the committee and two
sites on the campus are being con-
sidered.
Possible objections to the Law
renee site. said President Todd,
will be eliminated by establishing
safety zones and a traffic con-
troll at the intersection of Law
renee and No. 18th sts. That mat
ter will be settled at a conference
between Holmes Eastwood. COM
missioner of public safety. and the
college authorities.
The new building will provide
quarters for the sororities, Y. N.
and Y. w. c. A, mems lounge, and
student activities offices. There
also will be a dining room with a
seating capacity of approximately
$50, which also may be used for
student sponsored social affairs;
two smaller rooms and cafeteria,
and college book store. This will
relieve the congestion in Jones
hall and the science building and
provide more class rooms. larger
facilities for the library, and give
the business department of the
college much needed additional
space.
