f PAGE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 194S BALKAN INVASION DUE NEXT SPRING IS ALLIED VIEW Roads Impassable After Nov. 1 Turkey's Aid , May Bring Complications Washington. Oct. 6 (Un official recently returned from Turkey said today that the allies would not invade the Balkans this fall, but that when they do probably next spring neutral Turkey may join the fight against Germany. A Balkan offensive this fall is impossible, according to these officials, because Balkan roads most of them little more than trails will be impassable for motorized equipment after No . vember 1. Germany's invasion of that area was in the spring. Complications But an allied offensive next spring with Turkish troops at the side of British and Amerl- mans may precipitate another diplomatic situation with the Soviet Union, observers predict ed. They pointed out that Soviet Russia always has considered the Balkans her sphere of influ ncs. Historically, Turkey has felt the same way because of the long reign of the Ottoman em' pire over that area. - Turkey and the Soviet Union, consequently, have been more or less suspicious of each other's aims. Russia's century-old desire for an outlet to the Mediterra nean, through the Bosporus and the Dardanelles, also conflicts with Turkey's determination to maintain control of those strate gic straits. There -have been reports for some time that Turkey's desire to have a place at the peace table to counteract Russia's probable demands in the Balkan and Aegean area probably would force her to abandon her neutral status and Join the Unit ad States. A high United Nations official revealed last month that the United States and Great Bri tain were supplying Turkey with military equipment for eventual use against Germany. Turkey Weak The sources who predicted that Turkey would Join the al lies in the Balkans said that there were two ather factors 1 thai might prevent any Immedi ate action: Turkey's weakness in military equipment which would make her entrance Into the war . at an inopportune time more of a liability than an asset, and the present proximity of German air bases to Turkey. But there is no doubt of Tur key's position solidly on the side of the allies, it was said. German influence in Turkey is now at low ebb, according to these reports, the people and government preferring the Unit ed States and Great Britain to either Germany or the Soviet Union.
