ISTANBUL, Oct. 4 (Reuter). Though official comments are totally lacking, the delay surrounding the talks of M. Sarajoglu, the Turkish Foreign Minister, now in Moscow is creating great uneasiness in Turkish public opinion.
Apart from matters directly connected with Turkish-Soviet relations, questions affecting the Balkan Entente, particularly Rumania, are stated to be play- ing an important part in M. Sarajoglu's discussions.

ITALY'S BLOW TO HITLER'S HOPES
LONDON, OCT. 4 (REUTER-A REPORT FROM BERLIN THAT ITALY IS NOT TAKING THE INITIATIVE IN PRESENTING PEACE PROPOSALS is confirmED FROM ROME. An official Italian agency statement says that "several British newspapers have reported that Il Duce is considoring a peace conference plan. This news is without foundation. “In the present state of affairs, Italy will not take
an initiative of such a nature.” SLIP-UP FOR HITLER?
"Reuter's" diplomatic correspondent, com- Hongkong by air mail from menting on this news, says that great importance Copenhagen, shows Hitler is attached to the statement among well-informed looking across the Vistula circles in London.

London Press. Supports Premier's Speech
Coupled with the fact that no communique has been issued after the visit of Count Ciano to Berlin, it is interpreted as indicating that Il Duce has refused to sponsor Hitler's peace plan.
This is especially significant, since Mr. Chamberlain stated yesterday that he would examine and test any proposals in the light of the conditions he had previously laid down.
