TURKEY AND ITALY The recent visit of Bay Numan Menemencioglou, the Turkish Secretary-General of Foreign Affairs, to Sofla seems to have had good results, and the exchange of telegrams be- tween President Ismet Incunu and King Boris seems to reveal good understanding.
In her peace efforts Turkey has been glad to see herself Turcot seconded by Italy. Italian relations appear much improved. Whether the sus picions, engendered by Musso- lini's boasted intention to re- create the Roman Empire and his subsequent occupation of Albania, have been entirely. for- gotten is doubtful. But. Italy's talks with Hungary, her, own statements regarding her atti- tude towards any Soviet move Into the Balkans, and her recont friendly gestures incline Ankara. - to regard Rome as a factor for pence in the Balkans,
Turkey's great hope is that, following the Belgrado confer- ences, the conversations which will continue between Ankara, Rome and the Balkan and
