And almost more important, the secret police report- ed direct to the Under Secretary. But Fotitch began to lose favor with the Serbian military after the advent of Hitler. Some Yugoslav leaders began to propose the aban- donment of the ties with France and closer cooperation with Ger- many.

How much this had to do with is not known., But during that delay Fotitch kept peppering Prince Paul with cables regarding the status of American public opinion, and assurances that despite the speech- es of Nye and Wheeler, the lease- lend bill would pass. With each of his cables, Yugo- ! slav resistance to Hitler appeated to stiffen. The landing of British troops and supplies at Salonika also had its effect, together with the stiffening attitude of Turkey. But it is a further fact that Brit- ain could not have landed such large scale munitions, nor would Turkey have stiffened its policy without encouragement from Wash- ington. So it may be that Constantin Fo- titch, genial peasant Yugoslav Min- ister to Washington, can achieve what he could not do in conjunc- tion with the now dead Czechoslo- vakia and Rumania—keep his coun- try alive. 3 (Copyright, 1941, by United Fea- ture Syndicate, Inc.) et e MOOSE BROADCAST TOMORROW NIGHT A very forceful drama, with ‘& cast of some of radio’s headliners, based on fellowship and social ‘df- filiations, .will . be- presented : Phurs=-{ | day evening at 6:15 o'clock.

To aid in the efforts of the Alaska Historical Association to increase its local membership, a committee was appointed by the Juneau Com- mercial Association and included' Lester D. Henderson, George F. Forrest and John Reck. s Announcement was made by Simon Hirsch that the Juneau Billiard ’Company had been sold to R. L. Bills, of Portland, Oregon. Mrs. H. E. Biggs and son William returned on the City of Seattle |after a six weeks’ visit in Vancouver and Seattle. Mrs. L. O Sloane and infant daughter arrived here on the City of Seattle after spending the winter in California. M. C. Rugg left on the Jefferson for a business trip to Lynn Canal ports. J. H.
