Securing Italian Good Will. Angora may, therefore, be glad to secure Italian goodwill at an economic price, both literally and figuratively. In this case, the re- sultant bargain, although intrin- sically a business one, would be latent with far-reaching political consequences in the international domain. The marked predilection shown by the Turks for German and other ex-enemy and ex- neutral expert assistance, or again, for French armaments and financial houses, would be superseded by one for Italian ad- vice and co-operation in these various fields. The tendency, en- couraged by France, towards a Serbo-Turkish alliance, would disappear.
Roumano-Turkish relations have latterly been fairly smooth. Those, however, between Turkey and Greece, have frequently been strained. An Italo-Turkish rap- prochement, in the present cir- cumstances, would facilitate settlement of Greco-Turkish dif- ferences. Thus, eventually, the Palazzo Chigi might hope. to assure itself beforehand, in the event of a European emergency, of the neutrality of Turkey and Greece, in addition to that of Roumania and Bulgaria.
It may be some time, neverthe- less, before the outcome of the present Milan conversations can be appraised in all its bearings, should it prove to be more than an amicable gesture. Mean- while, neither París nor Berlin is altogether comfortable, while Geneva is wondering whether Italy will sponsor Turkey's admis- sion to the League, which, not so long ago, Italy was believed not to favour.
