Germans Looking For New Moves If Rus- sia Defeated.

ANKARA, Jilly 16—(A.P)—A Ger- man bid for the eventual right to send troops across Turkey into the Soviet Caucasus was reported to- day to be a large item in military, dipfoniotic and economic stresses ioiiiiing 'I‘urkey into a new tug oi war between Britain and Germany.

Gernizin Ambassador Franz Von Papen was reported to have sound- ed out Turkey on the transport o.‘ troops and supplies, contingent on a German victory over Russia by September.

Turkish officials were said to have replied that such a question was premature.

The Germans were represented as feeling that the British position in Iraq. particularly now that the

Syrian campaign has ended, t'iir-, nishes Britain with excellent bases , for heavy bombing attacks on the whole Caucasus region from Baku‘ tn Bstiizn if the Germans should he able to move in. , _ (This would presuppose the wiii- ‘ 11180955 0f Turkey or Iran to pcr- i ni_lt. or at. least not to prevent, fiigiit of British bombers over tiia-ii ; territories which lie between Iraq‘ and the region in question.)

I11 addition to the transport re- quest. the Germans were reported striving to double their commercial (ltfflliflks with Turkey. offering sale of armaments among other things, and to be seeking at premium llrices the Turkish chrome ore which now goes to Britain.

Countering these efforts, British authorities were said to be plugging loop-holes in their contract; so m)“; all Turkish clironii‘ ore production and to be telling the Turks phat United states deliveries of wm- ma- teriais make it more likeiv that Tulkfil’ 001i get arms from Britain than from on industrialhgcxtenq. ed Germany.
