TALKS WITH TURKEY
CONDUCTED IN UTMOST CONFIDENCE. MR. EDEN TO SPEAK SOON IN COMMONS. x (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, November 8. “It can be assumed that Mr Eden gave a full report of what had been concluded during the Moscow discussions when he met the Turkish Foreign Secretary,” says the “Daily Telegraph’s” diplomatic correspondent commenting on the Anglo-Turkish talks. He added that since the conversations between Mr Eden and M. Menemencoglu were conducted in the utmost confidence, speculations about the outcome - receive neither confirmation nor denial in London. Mr Eden will speak in the House of Commons in the near future.
The Ankara correspondent of “The Times” says that without indulging in too much speculation it may be said that two questions constitute the substance of their conversations: Turkey’s position in connection with the war and the political outlook in regions where Turkey is directly interested. Two countries specially interest Tur-key-Bulgaria and Persia. Bulgaria is in the peculiar position of a country at war with all the Allies except Russia, which creates an ambiguous situation which the Turkish Government naturally wishes to elucidate. In regard to Persia, the Turkish people have always been deeply concerned about that country’s.fate and earnestly desire to see her integrity and independence assured. The diplomatic correspondent of the “Observer” says: “There is no sign that Turkey is yet on the point of entering the war. For her to take this step while the Aegean Islands are still firmly in German hands would be giving hostages to fortune. At present the possibility of allowing the Allies to use Turkish air bases as Portugal has done is a more practical question.”
