They con. tinued to say no, through the super. latively adept Numan Menemencio- Rlu, the Foreign office genius. and his military steering committee, politely but definitely.
 OUTaFANEUvER PAPEN
 Reichsambassador Franz von papen, the vastly overrated ex- chancellor. brandished the menace of the Luftwaffe and Wehrmacht. Foreign Minister Menemencioelu had no military answer. The Turk. ish army, tough and willing, could muster less than half Q million poorly equipped fighting men, a handful of ancient war planes a few creaklng Renault tanks, wire taally no artillery. little or no motor transport percious little rail trans. portland only the incredibly bad roads and semi-single-track rail- roads Of treacherous Anatolia upon which to operate 1t. So Menemen- cioglu outtalked and outmaneuvered Papen--and pleaded earnestly with Britain and the United States for the war materials we had promised.
 Russian power diplomacy set in. Moscow, panicky at German ad- vances along the entire eastern front. screamed for a second Front and when it was not forthcoming Russian wrath descended upon Ankara. The Turks firmly declined to open diversionary hostilities with Germany, operations which then could only have been disastrous for the Allied cause.
 APPLY PRESSURE
 Britain. too. was pressing Tor Turkish entry into the war. U. s. Ambassador Laurence Steinhardt received instructions to apply pres- sure upon Turkey and he followed orders-although he quiently point ed out to the State Department that our Lend-Lease aid to Turkey was far below quota.
