It is .recalled that Mr Eden after the Moscow conference of the Allied Foreign Ministers last month, conferred in Cairo with the Turkish Foreign Minister. “It is clear from the tenor ~of reports which are circulating in Europe tonight that Turkey is under pressure from the Allies to declare herself something’ more than a co-belligerent in their favour,’’ says the “Daily Mail’s’’ political writer. German political commentators tonight said that the meeting represents something more than another “routine conference, particularly as it follow's so soon after the three-Power meeting in Teheran.
