1t Is contended. Obviously, the lack
OF prospective Yugoslav effective
collaboration with Rumania and
Greece increases their own danger
IN the event of war. And Germany
and Italy would be expected to de-
mand raw materials from Yugosla-
via.
Doubt Attack by Italy.
With their own land so nearly
pinned in, Yugoslavs believe that
no early overt move by Mussolini
against them directly is to be ex-
pected. But they are deeply worried
over their imprisoned status-and
fear that the axis game of encircling
the Balkans may soon be speeded
up by an Italian invasion Of Greece

control of the entrance to the
Adriatic. and perhaps march over
land to Salonica.

SHANGHAI, April 10.-Strategic
victories were claimed by both Chi
nese and Japanese today after
heavy fighting in Kiangsi Province,

The Chinese reported they had
stopped a Japanese advance near

open the way to possible invasion of

The invaders said that one step Of
this plan was achieved when their

rounded several Chinese detach-

reported slain.

YugosIavia Seen
NeutraIized by
Albanian Conquest
ItoIy Now Cuts It Off
From AneIo-French
War Supplies
By FRANK SMOTHERS,

Chicago Daily News FOREIGN Correspondent,
BELGRADE, April 10 (By Radio).
Premier Benito Mussolini's Holy
Week conquest Of Albania has
neutralized Yugoslavia-this tough
and virile potential ally Of the
western democracies-for at least
the outset of the war which appears
almost inevitable. That is the con-
viction Of expert observers in Bel
grade today.
The sympathies Of the Yugoslavs,
among the toughest fighters in Eu-
rope, are overwhelmingly for the
democratic powers-but it takes
more than sympathies to fight a
successful war;
Yugoslavia could mobilize, 1t is
declared here, more than 1000, 900
hardy warriors. But she Is pitifully
weak In heavy munitions, including
aircraft. and could not equip
great army.
Would Need Big Supplies.
Hemmed in by Germany. Hungary
and Italy, she would need steady
supplies of munitions to fight sue
cessfully. BY seizing Albania and
and thus controlling both sides Of
the narrow channel into the Adriatic
which washes Yugoslavia. Mussolini,
as seen here. can prevent England
and France from sending necessary
supplies-until and unless Italy, in
the war, is eliminated by France and
England as Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hit
ler's ally. Yugoslavia. in other
words is caught today in crushing
pincers, Hitler on the north and
Italy on the south and controlling
her seaboard.
When and If Italy is eliminated.
Yugoslavia might be induced to en-
ter a war against Germany-if her
aid were still needed. And none can
be certain that Yugoslav patriotism
would not foment a guerrilla war
against the axis powers even before
Italy is eliminated.
Observers here are convinced that
the Yugoslavs cannot be won to
fight on the side Of italy and Ger
many. They hate them too much
for that. But Yugoslavia's neutral
ity would be almost as valuable as
having her for an ally Of the axis.
