Meanwhile war has been moving closer to her borders. She has watched neighbor nations — Albania, Rumania, Hun- gary — come under domination of the Rome-Berlin Axis. Her neigh- bor Greece has been invaded by Italy. Bulgaria, to the East, is trying to play ball with both Russia and the Axis. Yugoslavia, despite a tough little army of 350,000 (plus 1,000,- 000 reserves), is wide open to attack through Axis-controlled Hungary on the north. Italy conceivably might hope to effect a successful invasion froin Fiume via Zagreb, on through the Adriatic coast pass to Surajevo.

THE NARROW DANUBE Could Be Blocks Nickerson Wedding Solemnized Here. The Axis Needs This Water Route.. And 3 | Has Walked Softly Lest Yugo- slavia Close The Channel. Natural Bringing Them Through The Da danelles And Debarking At Salonika Js8 With Turl A closed Danube would handicap the Axis immeasurably. No oil and foodstuffs could go. up the Danube into Germany. The al- ready-overtaxed Axis rail transport would be hard put to take up the slack if Yugoslavia blocked the Iron Gate. Yugoslavia’s second trump is unpredictable Russia. The Yugo- slavs and the Soviet have been .close as ‘A and B for years. Russia might go to Yugolavia's aid if her sister slav state were attacked. Remember, Russian bases are only 800 miles away via the Dar- danelles and the Black Sea. Turkey, already jittery, probably would permit Russian ships to pass. Greece, now fighting the Axis, would be tickled pink to allow Russian troops to debark at Salonika. From there they could pour through the southern pass to aid Yugoslavia. That the Axis has not already moved, on Yugoslavia indicates inability up to now to obtain a “by-your-leave” from Russia. She'd R-ther Fight ‘Yugoslavia has maintained a meticulous neutrality. She has con- tinued trade with the Axis, but has made it clear she would fight/ rather than become an Axis puppet. Even without Russia’s aid, the Yugoslav army, numbering some of the best fighters in Europe in its mountaineer brigades, would be no soft touch. The tiny navy, topheavy with mine-layers, could make the narrow Adriatic an unhealthy spot for Italian vessels. So far, their two trumps have saved the: Yugoslavs. Continued control of that Iron Gate is the country’s best insurance against attack. 'Vichy Government | | Route _Into Yugoshn h and Greek Consent.
