TURKEY’S PACT WITH ; GERMANY ' LONDON. June 19. It is understood that Turkey’s refusal' to sign the treaty of friendship with Germany unless a clause was, included safeguarding the treaty between Britain and Turkey caused, a -long delay in the negotiations. Finally Berlin urgently instructed the German Ambassador in Ankara (Herr; von Papen) to sign the treaty as. speedily , as- possible, even if 4he clause was included. Herr von Papen’s. mien after Initialling the pact was scarcely that of a successful diplomat pulling oft a piece of work which Gerinan propaganda could hail ps a triumph for the Reich but wag rather that of a dissatisfied, disgruntled, and tired man, fully realising that Turkish policy would -remain as formerly~an alliance with Britain > and a desire to avoid being forced to war. Leading Turkish circles emphasise that this represents Turkey's historical long-term policy. x PLAGUE REPORTED IN CRETE CAIRO, June 19.. A considerable portion of ; the German garrison in- Crete has been evacuated because of an outbreak of plague.
