Britain's Enemy Will Be Turkey's Enemy-New Pact TOLL REACHES THOUSANDS”
TURKISH
CO-OPERATION Three Planes
IN MEDITERRANEAN Terms of
LONDON, May 12.
IN THE House of Commons to-day Mr. Chamberlain confirmed the reports that Britain and Turkey have agreed to conclude a mutual aid pact.
A provisional agreement has already been made for mutual aid in the event of aggression by any Power leading to war in the Mediterra- nean. This is intended to figure against any Italian attack.
The prospective long-term pact is designed to make Turkey a full member of the anti- aggression front, assuring Turkish co-operation in halting German as well as Italian aggression, and also of British aid in fulfilling Ankara's pledges.
SOVIET MUST JOIN
Turkey is presumably unwilling to conclude the broader pact until Britain makes a mutual aid pact with the Soviet whose aid the Turks consider essential to the defence of the Balkans, Poland and the Baltic countries.
Once the Anglo-Soviet pact is concluded, the Turks are willing to bind themselves to help in the defence of other castern European countries and to permit British warships to enter the Black Sea in the fulfilment of her pledges to Rumania.
Mr. Chamberlain announced that the negotiations are con- tinuing and that the agreement, he said, is not directed at any country.-United Press.
