Perhaps, m aking his frank ad dress before the national assem bly, he has a hole card which the juggernaut powers hadn’t figured on. A t any rate, he is bold and explicit about T u rke y ’s determination to stick to her a l liance with G reat B ritain, and proclaims that “ The bonds of alliance which unite us to her are solid and unbreakable.” Those who have played poker w ith the m an, ingratiating little fighter and diplom at say that when he beta ’em he has ’em— all kibitzers gloom ily shaking their heads, however, as they figure the Axis hand. It was as Ishm et Pasha that he made his career, changing his name in line with K em al A taturk's mod ernization program . A colonel in the Turkish a rm y , he m ade a peril ous passage through hostile lines in 1920, and joined K em al A taturk. Jointly, in less than two years, they drove the Greeks out of Anatolia and Sm yrna and in the following years built modern T u rkey. He was mysteriously benched during K em al A ta tu rk ’s last year, but appeared at the helm, with power and prestige unlessened at the la tte r’s death. F o r the last two years, G e r m any’s clever and resourceful Von Pa pen has been attending to political and diplom atic sabo tage in Tu rkey. The word has been that the astute President Inonu has always been a jum p or two ahead of him and that Turkey hasn’t been readied for the k ill in the m anner of other sm all powers. The president has fostered carefully the Turkish hegemony over the Moslem bloc, and whenever the Axis powers kick Islam in the face, his peo ple know about it. His alliance gives England a valuable lia i son with Islam , which may be come m ore and more im portant as the w ar wears on.

Big, bluff, ruddy, iron-jawed General H askell, appointed to the command of the New York National Guard by Gov. A lfred E . Smith in 1926, is a West Pointer who has preached stiff discipline and long yelled for more and better fighting tools for the arm y. Out of West Point in 1961, he was graduated from the infantry school in 1904 and saw service in the Philippine islands, the M exican border, France, the N ear East and Rus sia, directing A m erican re lie f in Russia from 1921 to 1923.
