Information received from re.
liable diplomatic sources indicated
preparations were being made by
he Jugoslavian government to
signify it's willingness to partici-
pate in the pact.
Such action would be a radical
departure from the code of inter

prevailing from the time of the
signing of the treaty of Versailles
and would represent signal vic
tory for Germany in its unceasing
campaign against the sO-called
French hegemOny."

Since the conclusion of the war,

rued as logical development"
