GREAT EVENTS
EXPECTED SOON IN TURKEY DEVELOPMENT OF GERMAN THREAT. QUICKENED BY DEPARTURE OF VON PAPEN. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) "(Received This Day, 12.5 p.m.) LONDON. September 3. “Turkey expects great events soon which will prove her loyalty to Britain,” says the “Daily Telegraph’s” Ankara correspondent. The departure of Herr Von Papen (German Ambassador) for Vienna yesterday is regarded as underlining the German threat to Turkey, despite the official explanation that he is about to undergo an operation. Turkey is believed to have played for time. The Turks expect a major Russian counteroffensive soon and hope it will tie the Germans up sufficiently to cause Hitler to drop the Turkish question. The economic prizes Von Papen dangled before Turkey before leaving suggest that Hitler has not given up hope of forcing Turkey to bend. Von Papen announced that if Turkey dropped the British Alliance, Germany would buy her entire tobacco crop, subsidise the erection of factories and guarantee oil supplies to inaugurate a TurkishGerman Black Sea shipping service. Italy would grant Yugoslav port facilities and cede a strip of Grecian Thrace.
