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 after American and British de-\nmobilization has taken place. He considers that if the\nRussian demands 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 Far East to Finland. He thinks that two Soviet\nobjectives in Turkey, in addition to those already spe-\ncified, are to close the Black Sea to states outside\nthe Soviet bloc, to guarantee Soviet access to the Med-\niterranean and to assure a route down to the Persian\nGulf through territory now in eastern Turkey.\nVenezia Giulia. The US strongly opposes piecemeal\nsettlement of Italian territorial questions such as that\nGeneral Morgan has suggested for Venezia Giulia. All\nthese should be dealt with in the final treaty with Italy\nwhich will probably be negotiated soon. A final settle-\nment on Venezia Giulia now would mean yielding to a threat\nof force"
