Some 6f the finest—notably Britain’s in the World cracked up trying to dent Turkey's unbelievably difficult tough War terrain. 2 There were A hints that the Hitler-Molotoff parley “decided the fate of Turkey ‘Turkey may have something to say about that. Turkey surely will give serious consideration to the desires of Russia and Germany. But she may feel she is tough enough to do her own deciding. And how she decides may plter the course of the war. She may accede to an AXis request to permit troop crossing. 1f she does; 1t miay be because her price has been paid, rather than because sne’d be an easy victim of blitzkrieg. On the other hand, Turkey may refuse to play Axis stooge, even at Russia’s urging. Turkey has an alliance with Britain, -and has nced she will keep her bargain. If she does, the Axis—or even -Russian combination—may find invasion of Turkey is a strategist’s nightmare. Here's why: Turkey is roughly a quadrangle, 500 by 1,000 miles. The eastern half stands on end, some of the most precipitous mountain country in the world. The mountains would “canalize” any invasion from Russia along narrow valleys. Strung-out columns would be ducks in a shooting gallery for Turkish flank attacks from the heights. Hundred Miles of Timber The Axis would have to invade through Turkey-in-Europe, which joins Grecian Thrace. That means a 100-mile advance through imber-tangled, almost roadless hill country. Italy has already found out that that sort of going is no military picnic. Then the Axis would come _(o another barrier; the Dardanelles and the Bosporus. Crack Australian divisions left their bones on these beaches in the World War. Then all attempts to penetrate flopped with. terrific losses. And.the Turks have increased their for- t RIVER BARRIERS THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE,'MONDAY, DEC.' 16, 1940. ‘GABLE-CRAWFORD C ARE TEAMED 1N HIT " NOW AT CAPITO!

But suppose the Axis did accomplish the well-nigh impossible, forced the straits, and captured Istanbul. So what? So the Turks fali back to some of the best natural defense lines in the world. Mountain ranges criss-cross Turkey like a waffle. Where there aren‘t mountains, rivers make natural lines. Central Turkey has deserts, too, as additional stoppers. Turkey's coasts are literally ringed with mountains which rise to the central plateau. The British navy in the Meditcrranean controls the southern and western shores. Control of those ports means the Turks could be supplied and reinforced indefinitely by Britain, even if attacked simultaneously by Russia and the Axis. While the invaders’ lines lengthened with each advance, the Turks' lines would shorten. Obviously, the Axis wants to cross Turkey fo get at the Near Fast oil fields. If Turkey decides to fight, Axis troops must cross at least 800 miles of murderous going before they reach the oil goal. Best Fighers in the Balkans 1t would be no mean chore to move an army across this tangled up-and-down without opposiition. But the Turks can field an army of 1,000,000 mountaineers, all of them tougher than tanned tripe. They're admittedly the best fighters in the Balkans, and they know the ground. If Russia has given Germany a “free hand” in Turkey, Germany may still find Turkey a tough nut to crack. The odds would favor Germany to succeed but it might take a lot of time. And»Hi!ler hasn’t got that sort of time. Obviously, the Axis hopes Russia can convince Turkey she’ll get a share of the spoils if she permits free passage of Axis troops. Tt can happen, becaue Turkey has followed Russia’s lead in the past. If Turkey stands fast by Britain, however, the Axis drive to the East might be stalled indefinitely.
