By Cablé to The Star and Philadeiphia Public dger. Copyright, BELGRADE, September 21.—While the strengthening of Itallan military control in Fiume has perturbed Bel- grade official circles more than they are willing to admit, it has falled to budge them from their policy of glving Premler Mussolinl's state- ments and actions the benefit of every possible doubt. { Thelmviewpoint is that if Mussolini —as he tells Premier Pachich pri- vately—really wants to~ settle the question amiably, but is forced tem- porarily to .make some energetic gestures so as to propitiate the ex- tremist Fascisti elements, then the Serbs stand to gain by sitting tight and not complicating the problem for him, On the other hand, if this is ais Mussolinian trick to facilitate the annesation of Fiume, the Serbs, by thelr concillatory policy, are glving him enough rope to hang hifuself, in hopes that they will gain the world's sympathy against Italian agression. Jugoslavia is od nor resdy. for war and fip that virtue is a necessity. Those Serblans who have lost hope of getting Fiume diplomatically and do not think 1t worth fighting for now believe it is better to let Italy violate the treatie: and selze or annex the city unde protest than for the Berbs to red nounce in any way their claims or rights. It 1s belleved that Italy is aimin ‘cat the atian artichoke leal by leaf, and Jagoslavia is deter- mined not to give her any more than an excuse for gluttony. It is under- #tood that the Serbs have withdrawn all but one battalion of their troops from the Fiume frontier. Long Lease Offered. It is asserted that Mussolini's latest offer to Pachich completely re- verses his previous plan. Now he promises to give Jugoslavia a nihety- nine-year control of Fiume 1If the Serbs—which 18 unlikely:-will agree to recognize Itallan sovereignty over the city. The chief danger in the Flume situ- ation. and it is becoming more dan. gerous, lies Jjn Pachich being forced to renounce his clever policy of gnsvlvn diplomatic resistance to Italy v his home public demanding action.
