BERLIN, Aug. 26.-Germany an6
Iran are in active contact with each
other over the situation arising from
the British-Soviet invasion Of Iran
an authorized spokesman said today
He declined to disclose the nature
OF their negotiations. Reports OF
German offers of support to the
Iranians were called mere trial bal
looms"
Front pages of the Berlin press
were filled today with news and
maps of the invasion OF Iran, but
government sources were silent on
the possibility of German aid for
the Moslem kingdom.
Prime Minister Churchill was de-
scribed by Berlin writer's as the chief
instigator of what was called "the
latest act of violence by aggressors. :"
Dienst aus Deutschland, well-in-
formed commentary, indicated Ger
many would not be an uninterested
spectator. Unquestionably, Dienst
said, the British-Soviet move was
regarded as demanding strongest
German attention" Dienst did not
predict, however, what German re-
action could be expected.
Deutsche DiplomatiSch- Politsche
Korrespendenz, commentary close to
the Foreign ONCE, likewise gave no
hint of what Germany might do.
Turkeys attitude toward the Iran
invasion was principal topic Of
conversation in Berlin political and
diplomatic circles. Belief was ex-
pressed that the invasion might in
fluence Turkish policy decisively.
