A VISIT TO TURKEY
The Turkish Government recently received official intimation that Admiral Sir Andrew Cunningham, Commander-in-Chief of the British Fleet in the Mediterranean, would visit Istanbul on August 20. He was to arrive there in his flagship, the Warspite. 30.600 tons, while the battleship Malaya, 31,100 tons, was to call at Smyrna on the same date. Elaborate preparations were being made for the official reception of Sir Andrew and for the rest of the visit. Political circles attached the greatest significance to the visit, considering that it proved beyond the slightest doubt Great Britain's sincere friendship and her determination to support her allies, according to her pledges. The visit was announced by large headlines in all Turkish papers.
