BRITISH DENIAL
AXIS PROPAGANDA MR. CHURCHILL’S TALKS TURKEY REMAINS FREE (10.30 a.m.) ANKARA, Feb. 3. Denying Axis propadanda that Mr. Winston Churchill went to Turkey without giving the Turks time to object, the British Ambassador, Sir Hugh Knatchbull-Hugessen, at a press conference, said that Mr. Churchill requested a meeting outside Turkey with the President, General lnonu or members of the Turkish Government. Turkey replied with a cordial invitation to hold the meeting on Turkish soil at Ankara or anywhere else. Tiie Axis allegations that Mr. Churchill asked the Turks to enter the war and that Turkey refused were nonsense. Turkey remained as free after the Adana conference as before. The Russian representatives were not present because the conversations particularly concerned the delivery of armaments to Turkey in which Britain and America were mostly directly concerned.
