The money will be used partly to balance the Turkish budget, partly to finance Anglo-Turkish trade and partly to purchase arms for Turkey.
There is considerable diplomatic activity while the actuni Bghting hangs fire. Hitler is continuing his discussions in Berlin with his district Nazi lenders and nt the same time conferring with the Italian and Soviet Envoys.
