Turkey Faces Pact Dilemma Over Allied Entry
Istanbul June 7 Turkey resolved to honor its mutual assistance pact with Britain and France yet faces a dilemma if the Balkans war or Mediterranean hostilities draw the Allies in. Turkish officials say they may act passively, fearing Italy's entry on a winning side could force Turkey to choose a losing ally. Diplomats note Italy's likely timing and Turkey's limited means to aid, with Turkish ports possible Allied bases and troops concentrated to guard Thrace and Syria. Numerous forces in Thrace, the Aegean coast, and Alexandretta remain on alert as the situation develops.
