Allies hope, actually defeat the
Fuehrer. it would be difficult for
London to reject a request for a
portion Of European Turkey.
Turkish diplomats point out that
Britain would not be in position
to refuse victorious Russia any
thing and might offer to COM
pensate Ankara for the loss Of
Istanbul by some rectification Of
the frontier in the Near East.
Ankara Reassured.
The conversations between
Anthony Eden and Joseph Stain
in Moscow filled the Turks with
fear. The British Ambassador
to Ankara, who was hurriedly
sent to Moscow. returned to the
Turkish capital and told the
Turks that at no time did the
Russian and British negotistors
touch on the question of Istanbul
or the Dardanelles. But even
this did not reassure the Turks.
Laurence A. Steinhardt is leav-
ing soon to become our new AM
bassador to Turkey. He will
have far-reaching instructions
from President Roosevelt and 1t
is possible that, If he arrives in
Ankara before the Germans start
their long-expected drive in the
Mediterranean. he may be able
to overcome the present hesita-
ton on the part Of the Turkish
government.

The country is looking. too, for

BY GOULD LINCOLN.

President Roosevelt has done
what the critics of the national
defense and war efforts have
been clamoring for during many
weeks and months-he has ap-
pointed a director of the indus
trial effort. He has placed a
single man at the head, with
power to act. His selection of
Donald M. Nelson for the job
has been widely acclaimed. The
announcement of the new setup
came almost on the eve of a re-
port by a special Senate commit
tee, headed by Senator Truman
of Missouri, vigorously criticizing
the once of Production Manage
ment for failure to expedite war
production. 1t now remains for
the new director to demonstrate
that the war program can be
pushed through as planned.
Senator Truman declared him.
self greatly pleased with the de-
cision of the President to place
one man at the head of the pro-
gram. He expressed his conf
dence, not only in Mr.. Nelson,
but also in the value of having
one man, with full powers, to
drive for the completion Of the
