To Have Stopped Oil To Eermans’

Moscow acts to bar further penetration by the Reich

sia took formal action early today to block further Nant expansion in southeastern Europe with publication of i friendship agreement which, in effect, assures Turkey o full material aid against German troops if 'i‘urkcy is plunged into war i0 defend the Dardanelies.

The Soviet Union, a Turkish communique said, hill promised “full and comprehensive neutrality" in ease Tur-

key clashes with the Nazi armies now massed on her fron- tier with Bulgaria.

High diplomats said this meant that the U.S.S.R. in

prepared to support Turkey with material aid such as ll

being given to Great Britain by the United States and suclt‘ as Russia herself has tendered to China for several yearn against Japan.

Soviet troops zilrczidy are stationed near the Caucnsul border with Turkey and it is reliably reported that the] are made up for the most part of anti-aircraft gunners, tanks corps and technical experts.

They could be sent to Turkey's aid much as the saml sort 0f specialists helped the Spanish Republicans during the Spanish civil war.

While the Soviet pledge was being published it also was confirmed reliably that the U.S.S.R. has halted all supplies of oil to Germany since the beginning of March, iviien the Kremlin publicly announced its disapproval of the occupation of Bulgaria by German troops.
