Will bring speedy, decisive develop

These circles depicted Turkey as
being ready 10 Join the tri-partite

the Ankara government might give
Germany the right TO transport
troops across Turkish territory.
One report from Istanbul said
Germany might land an eXpedi-
tionary force at the Turkish
Aegean port of Smyrna for pas
sage to lraq where fighting be-

already has broken out.

attack by Iraqi forces against
British troops at the Habbaniya

that it has endangered lines of

Informed quarters in Ankara
said they feared the appeal of

might lead to serious political
complications and lead to a Nazi
drive toward Iraq across Turkey,
Syria or Palestine.
There were unconfrmed rumors
that in attacking the British
