London, May, 4.
The Government will announce the conclusion of accords with Turkey rather earlier than was originally expected, quarters close to the competent authorities declared today after the Foreign Secretary, Lord Halifax, had received Rustu Aras, the Turkish Ambassador.
Ankara previously insisted that the announcement of an Anglo-Turkish agreement should not be made before the conclusion of London-Moscow parleys. Since the dismissal of M. Maxim Litvinov from the Soviet Foreign Affairs Commissariat may possibly further delay or even cancel all Anglo-Soviet conversations, it was held that there was no reason to put off the publication of Anglo-Turkish accords any longer.
"Meanwhile, Anglo-Rumanian negotiations have also made considerable progress and, it was stated, an eventual accord signed would most likely "largely exceed original plans.""—Havas.
