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.
