The Turkish Ambassador\nto Moscow believes that his government's unequivocal\nreplies to the recent Soviet advances have given the\nRussians pause. He anticipates that Russian pressure\nwill be put on Turkey either within a few weeks or two\nor three years from now efter American and British de-\nmobilization has taken place. He- considers that if the\nRussian demenda had been accepted, new desiderata regard-\ning Turkish internal matters would have been put forward.\nIt is his opinion that Turkey is in the Soviet se-\ncurity zone which is now taking shape all the way from\nthe Fer East to Finland. He thinks that two Soviet\nobjectives in Turkey, in addition to those already spe-\ncified, are to close the Black Sen to states outside\nthe Soviet bloc, to gusrantee Soviet access to the Med-\niterranean and to assure a route down to the Persisn\nGulf through territory now in eastern Turkey.\nYenezia Giulia. The US strongly opposes piecemeal\nsettlement of Italien territorial questions such as that\nGeneral Morgan has sugrested for Tenezia Giulia. All\nthese should be dealt with in the finel treaty with Itoly\nwhich will probably be negotiated soon. A final settle-\nment on Venezia Giulia now would mean yielding to a threat\nof force\ns KECORDS SERVICE"
