SECOND FRONT
TURKISH INTEREST Liberation Of Her Balkan Neighbours N.Z. Press Association—Copyright Rec. 11 a.m. LONDON, May 10. ■ Speculation over a second front continues to flow in from many countries. The Associated Press correspondent at Ankara says the smashing assault which toppled the Axis defences at Bizerta and Tunis has impressed the Turks, who await events with intense interest and some tension. They expect a BritishAmerican invasion of Europe at least partly through the Mediterranean area.
The chief question concerning Ankara is whether the blow will fall in the eastern Mediterranean, on Turkey's doorstep, or in the central Mediterranean.
Recent Axis propaganda shows that the Axis authorities believe there is a strong possibility that Turkey might collaborate in the liberation of the Balkans. The Tui'ks have never failed to make plain that they are squarely opposed to Germany's domination of her Balkan neighbours.
