United Press War Expert

Reports from Ankara Saturday
that Russian has given assurances
to Turkey that she will not attack
in event of war indicated the highly
disturbed reaction in Moscow to
, German pressure III the Balkans
Such an agreement would be tanta-
mount to granting Turkey a free
hand for full cooperation with Great
Britain.
Under the Anglo-Turkish alli-
ance, the Turks are absolved from
actively supporting the British if
relations between Turkey and Rus
sia were thereby menaced. Russia
holds veto power over Turkish war
policy because the Soviet could
strike at Turkeys northeastern from
tier any time the Turks became
>ntangled in Balkan conflict, at
the other end of the Turkish bound
ary.
It is certain the Russians would
not consider any such agreement
with the Turks except under con-
ditions requiring the protection of
Slav interests. The present pro-
German course of events in the
Balkans menaces Russias future
influence seriously and there can
be no doubt of Stains strong de-
sire to take counter-measures.
A Russo Turkish agreement would
not necessarily mean that tn e
Turks intended to Declare war on
. Germany if Hitler ordered an at
tack against Greece. 1t would
mean Russia had freed Turkeys
hands to take such action any time
Ankara believed conditions favor
able
Hitler must read any new init
macy between Turkey and Russia
as carrying a new potential threat
against his aggressive designs in
Southeastern Europe. He cannot
overlook signs that Russia is de-
veloping an anti-German policy.
The new trend in Russia's in
ternational relations became evident
when Moscow publicly rebuked Bul-
garia for allowing the entry of
German troops. For several days
in succession the Moscow radio
boardcast the Slav protest.
The next Russian step in trying
to counter German activity appears
to have occurred during the nego-
tiations between Jugoslavia an d
Germany. There seems little debut

Second Bad Raid

PLYMOUTH, Eng, Mar. 90 CUP)
Time bombs, exploding with dead
ly regularity, added to the toll OF
life and property damage today in
the scared, charred streets Of this
ancient city which has been sub
! jected to its second straight night
attack by hundreds of German air
planes.
Many men, women and children
made homeless in the first nights
raid were bombed from their new
refugees in the second one.
For many hours during the raid,
children wandered the streets, halt
ing wayfarers and begging them to
| tend their wounded parents.
Hospitals and air raid shelters
were demolished. In one big hos
pital many were killed or wounded
when the maternity and childrens
wards were damaged. There were
many casualties in the wrecked
raid shelters. How many lives were
lost was still impossible to compute
but the toll was large.

shopping center and the residential
districts around it had taken the
greatest shock
1t had been estimated that 10000
incendiary bombs had fallen in the
first raid. Many more were hurled
last night. With them came hun
dredS of explosive bombs, to ruin
homes which had been damaged in
the first raid and others which had
been left unScathed.

were put out one by one, and again
the Germans came to start new
