invasion might come during the

his army would be ready by August

Istanbul correspondent of Aft
independent French agency gave
this version of reported German
demands on Russia, according to
Reuters, British news agency:
l. That Bessarabia and Northern
Bucovina, the provinces which Rus
sia acquired from Rumania year
ago by ultimatum, be returned to
Rumania.
2. That Germany be permitted to
occupy the rich Ukraine "for the
time being"
3. That Russia "liberate" Estonia,
Latvia and Lithuania, the Baltic
countries which she has annexed,
and that she withdraw her troops
beyond line of demarcation to be
fixed by Germany.
f. Partial rehabilitation of the
Soviet Army.
The reports that an ultimatum
had been served on Russia and that
Nazi troops had attacked the Soviet
frontier were circulated by Reuters,
which quoted correspondents of
c. B. S. and N. B. C. in Turkey as
it's sources of information.
Reuters said Martin Agronsky,
N. B. C. representative in Ankara,
declared he had been informed by
reliable diplomatic sources that
German ultimatum was about to
expire.
The general reaction in Britain to
the German-Turkish friendship pact
was that while it strengthened
Hitlers hand in dealing with Russia,
the Fuehrer had not obtained from
Turkey as much as he had hoped
for.
An informed source said that
Turkeys complete frsnkness" and
her insistence of preserving her
treaty obligations with Britain had
in large measure 'softened what
otherwise might have been regarded
as a diplomatic blow"
German off1cialdom was silent re-
garding German-Russian relations

"A veritable flood of rumors re-
garding Russia, Rumania and Ger
