Britain's S Relations

Question Seen in Vichy
Is Whether Ankoro Will
PIoy More Of Nozi Come
Nv PAUL GHALI.

Foreign Correspondent Of The Star and
Chicago Daily News.
VICHY, Aug. 25-Reports reach
ing here today indicated that rela-
tions between Great Britain and
Turkey are far from cordial as
British and Russian troops march
into Iran, Turkeys southeastern
neighbor and ally under the Saada-
bad pact of 1884.
During recent weeks Turkey has
done its best in words, if not in acts,
to protect her Moslem ally under
the Saadabad accord which links
Turkey, Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan.
The question of the day here is
whether Turkey will feel like play
ing more of Germany's game now
that British and Russian troops
are on her southeastern frontier
That the clever Franz Won Papen,
German Ambassador to Turkey, will
use this opportunity to try to secure
one of his famous diplomatic about
faces is considered certain here.
Observers here feel, however, that
Turkey will balance between the
two camps until the day when she
will have to choose.
The excitement shown in French
circles each time another country Is
plunged into the blood bath was not
noticeable in Vichy this morning

British Statement on Iran
Presence Of Germans Peril to Neiehbors,
Including India, Foreign Office Says

ments that the German community
in Iran should be required to leave
the country without further delay.
The Iranian government was told
by his majesty's government and the
Soviet government that they &C
cepted and Endorsed the Iranian
policy of neutrality and that they
had no designs against Trans polit-
ical independence or territorial in
tegrity and that it was their sin
cere desire to maintain a policy of
friendship and cooperation with
Iran.
This communication contained a
proposal devised in order to meet
Trans special needs by which a few
German technicians engaged on
, specially important work might be
retained temporarily; and his
majesty's government and the So
Wet government offered to assist
the Iranian government by endeav-
oring to find suitably qualified ex-
perts to replace departing German
technicians, and also stated that
they gladly would concert with the
Iranian government on measures to
alleviate any temporary hardships
which might be caused by the 81
multaneous departure of large num-
bers of trained personnel.
The Iranian governments reply
to the communications addressed
to them on August Is shows that
they are not prepared to give ade-
quate satisfaction to the recommen-
dations of the British government
and the Soviet government on this
important manner.
1t is now clear that further
friendly representations to the
Iranian government on the same
lines as hitherto would serve no USE
full purpose and that his majesty:
government and the Soviet govern
ment must have recourse to other
measures to safeguard their essen
tial interests.
These measures will in no way
be directed against the Iranian peo-
Pile; his majesty's government have
no designs against the independence
and territorial integrity of Iran and
any measures they may take will be
directed solely against attempts Of
Axis powers to establish their con-

,By DEWITT MACKENZIE.

The Anglo-Russian move in send
ing expeditionary forces into Iran
(Persia), in order to prevent that
country from becoming a base for
Nazi operations, represents mo-
mentous strategic move.
This invasion was hastened by the
NaZ advance across the Ukraine
toward the Persian frontier along
the Caucasus-a drive which ap-
pears to contemplate the occupa-
ton of Persia. Britain and the
Soviet acted, after ample warm
ing, when the Persian government
refused to comply with demand
for the expulsion of a large num-
ber of German residents. labeled by
the Allies as fifth columnists, who
were preparing to cooperate with
the Nazi Army.
Not only is Hitler headed for
Persia by way of the Caucasus, but
there have been indications that he
might attack Turkey and cross into
Persia along that route. Much
would depend on the success of his
present offensive against the Reds
in the Ukraine.
One reason the Fuehrer wants
Persia Is because 1t, is rich in oil,
an essential Of which he Is badly
in need. He is equally concerned,
however, with its strategic impor-
tance in further prosecution of the
war.
Persia is Russia's lifeline to the
Persian gulf, as has been explained
in this column before. With the
Baltic and Black Seas virtually
closed to shipping and the Far East
ern port of Vladivostok of rather
doubtful value because Of the jap
anese crisis. this Persian route may
easily become vital for the move
ment of American and British war
supplies into the Soviet.
From the British standpoint there
is a matter of even greater concern
than that. Persia would provide the
Nazis with base from which they
could strike at India or drive across
the Near East against Egypt and the
Suez Canal.
Whatever way you look at 1t. the
loss Of Persia to the Nazis would
represent a real disaster for the
Allies.
The Persian government has had
the reputation of being pro-British,
or at least exceedingly friendly. For
this reason there has been specula-
ton as to whether Teheran would
carry out its threat Of resisting in

no resistance, the Allies would seem

of the country as a matter Of self

1t won't be surprising If this SEN
sational Anglo-RusSian occupation
of Persia has restraining influence
on the Japanese in the Far Eastern
crisis. Anything which tends to

Shipyard Workers
To Return 10 Jobs
Today al kearny
Full Operation Expected
Tomorrow as Navy
1okes Over Plant
BY the Associated Press.

by lHe hSsoCiutcu Tteoes
KEARNY, N. j., Aug. 25.-The
Navy moved swiftly today in an
effort to resume work within the
next "a hours on $493 900 900 worth
OF naval and maritime ships at the
Federal Shipbuilding & Drydock
Co. which was taken over by the
Navy Saturday on presidential order
after being tied up by a strike since
August Z.
Rear Admiral Harold G. Bowen,
who will be In charge Of the re-
sumption of production, announced
yesterday it was expected the plant
would resume operation with the
start of the $50 am. shift tomorrow.
He called plant superintendents,
foremen and department heads for
a meeting today to complete plans
for reopening the huge shipyard.
Daniel Deans, president OF Local
is, Industrial Union of Marine and
Shipbuilding Workers of America
&C. I. o., which called the strike
affecting $4,000 workers, asserted
"the strike is definitely over" He
expressed hope that 5000 men might
be able to return to work at pm
today and 2.4O0 more at midnight.
Local 16's Executive Boards rec
ommendation that the strike be
terminated was approved last night
by $500 union members at q mass
meeting in Jersey City.
There was difference of opinion
between union and Government
spokesmen as to whether the main
tenance of the membership clause
which caused the strike was being
considered in the resumption. The
company's rejection of the Defense
Mediation Board recommendation
that present or future union mem.
bers must maintain good union
standing as a condition Of employ
ment resulted in the walkout.
Daniel S. Ring, industrial relations
adviser in the ONCE of Production
Management, indicated In a state
ment after a conference with shop
stewards that the maintenance Of
membership was not, being con-
sidered.
He said he told the stewards that
the Navy's procedure in operating
the plant would be strictly within
the limits" of President Roosevelt's
executive order directing the Navy
to take over the vast yards on the
Hackensack River
II was authorized" Mr.. Ring said
ito tell them (the stewards) that
as far as wages, hours and working
conditions were concerned they
would be put into effect with the
adjustments agreed upon by the
employees and the company as of the
time when negotiations finally broke
off"
John Green, national president ol
the union, said, however, I'VE con-
slider this a complete and final vic.
tory for the union, because we have
been assured that everything nego.
tiated and recommended by the Ma
tional Defense Mediation Board will
be put into effect and that reclassi.
hcation for about 1,500 workers will
be retroactive to June o."

conversations between Washington
and Toxic. reported Saturday that
the position seemed bit easier
but that wasn't based on knowledge
of any negotiations" although dip
lomatic exchanges have been going
forward. Mr.. Churchill may have
thrown new light on the subject
What he said was:
THE United States are laboring
with infinite patience to arrive at a
fair and amicable settlement which
will give Japan the utmost reassur-
ance for her legitimate interests.
We earnestly hope that these nego-
tiations will succeed"

to Washington, Admiral Nomura. He
declared the conflict between Amer
lea and Japan must be bridged"
and that he had "a very strong
conviction that it will be-" although
he didn't know just how.
Mr.. Churchill supplemented his
statement about the negotiations
with the declaration that If hopes
for their success fail, then I'VE shall,
of course, range ourselves unhesti-
tatingly at the side Of the United
States" However, that stand was
rather a foregone conclusion.
Whether the exchanges between
Washington and Toxic have gone
further than has been announced
the Prime Minister'S statement is
calculated to give some hope that
the crisis may be solved without re-
sort to force.
