ANKARA, Turkey, Feb. 26.-R
British Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden and General Sir John G..
Dill, chief of Britain's imperial
staff, met diplomats and Turkish
leaders here today in conferences
which are expected to determine
the course of British-Turkish action
in the Balkan crisis.
The Britons were welcomed tu-
multuously upon their arrival.

port officials said they expect Sir
Stafford to land there tomorrow,
but British sources said they had
no knowledge of such flight.
Important Question
1t was understood in unofficial
quarters that one question to be
discussed by Eden and Turkish Of
ficials is the passage of foreign
,.y'sghant ships through the Dar-
: .lelles. to the Black sea. Some
sources believed Britain is request
ing that such vessels be allowed
passage only with express permis-
sion from Ankara.
In this connection, it was point
ed out that Germany now controls
the Rumanian Black sea port of
Constanta, might soon control Bull
garian ports and thus might re-
ceive supplies for herself through
them. One Ankara source said
close regulation of traffic through
the Dardanelles would 'benefit
Turkey and her allies"
United States Ambassador J. V.
A. MacMurray and the Greek min
lister to Ankara were among
Eden's first callers.
General Dill Immediately began
talks with Turkish military lead
ers.
Eden, coming mere from cairo,
will confer later with high Turk
officials. His party is expected to
remain for three days.
A qualified British spokesman
said that he might also talk with
both the Bulgarian and Yugoslav
ambassadors to Turkey. It was
not learned whether he had a def
mite message for the ENJOYS of
the two countries, which are un-
der heavy Axis pressure.
The Turkish official radio, re-
porting Eden's arrival, referred re-

LONDON, Feb. 26.-(R-The Brit.
ish government was represented
today as confident that Turkey
will stand firm in her alliance
with Britain in the face of an ap-
parently impending German thrust
through Bulgaria.
R. A. Butler, foreign undersecre-
tary, told the house of commons
that the government was com
pletely satisfied with thu way in
which Turkey is fulfilling the al
lance, and that "all information
suggests that the German prepara~
tions for an occupation of Bulgaria
are now far advanced"
Declines Answer
He declined to answer, however,
when asked whether Bulgaria had
been warned she must forcefully
oppose German occupation or be
regarded by Britain as hostile
country and subject to British
bombings.
It was said authoritatively that
one of the missions of foreign Sec
retary Anthony Eden in Turkey
is to seek an exact Interpretation
of the declaration of the Turkish
foreign minister, Sukru Saracoglu,
last Sunday that his country cam
not remain indifferent" to for
