new BALKAN PUSH
limited BY CAYDA
L A
Offensive May Be Follow-U
To Rumania's Formal Al
lance With The Axis

ROME, Nov. 24-(R- A new
! military offensive in southeastern
Furope was limited today by the
authoritative Fascist editor, Vlr-
= ginio Gayda, as a follow-up to Ru-
mania's formal alliance With the
Axis.
A demand for a showdown With
Turkey, backed by the might OF
. German, Rumanian and Bulgarian
=. armies, appeared to observers as
the. only event Gayda could have
had in mind when he wrote IN la
Voce d'Italia:
"a new chapter in Axis political
:, action which will shortly be fol-
lowed by important new pages and
warlike events shows that
Axis initiative continues in the
political conduct of the war"
With the entrance Of Hungary
and Rumania into the Axis mill
tary pact last week, Gayda point
ed out, only Turkey and Greece
remain outside the Axis orbit.
He listed Bulgaria as being vir-
tually as good as in, and Yugo-
slavia as ''benevolently neutral"
Any new Balkan effort against
the Axis would face Immediately
the ''~repressive coalition" of Ger
many, Italy, Rumania and Hun
gary, Gayda said.
With Italy now fighting Greece,
Turkey, therefore, appeared to re-
main the only country at which
new warlike action in southeastern
Europe might be aimed unless
Germany or one of the new Axis
allies attacked Greece from the
east.

Greek Ships At Norfolk
Change Sailing Plans

NORFOLK, Va, Nov. 24.-P)-
Nine Greek merchant ships in
Hampton Roads will modify their
sailing schedules, it was learned
today, to- comply with orders to
be issued by Premier General John
Metaxas, following action of the
amen government in requisition-
ing all Greek merchantmen.
Happy at the prospect of having
a part in the defense of their
homeland, officers of v Greek
ships met last night to discuss the
change in their status. Present at
the meeting was Demitros Dritsas
OF New York, superintendent of
the R. & K. and the Embiricos
Lines, who will direct operation of

The ambassadors mention of a

for the new weapon.

tary was the first notable instance
where any semi-official German
mouthpiece has warned Greece OF
the full possibilities of her refusal
to capitulate before the demands
of Italy, Germany's original AXIS
partner.
Fighting For Others
corresponding quoted Metaxas
as saying he was the herald not
only of his own land but at the
same time for other southeast peo-
pies and further quoted the GreeK
premier as saying tae Greeks
were fighting mot only for their
own land but also for other Bal,
kan states and for the freedom OF
Albania"
Since Germany herself has taken
over the job of protecting tn e
southeast peoples, this approached
the nearest thus far to being a
German suggestion hat the Greeks
were fighting not only against Italy
but against German interests in
the Balkans.
Korrespondenz, which often is
the m%outhpiece OF. the foreign Of
flee, said London seemingly had
found a new exponent"
Throughout the course of the
Greek-1talian affair, Germany has
maintained diplomatic relations
with Greece.
Bella Tuka, 6o-year-old premier
of the 20-months-old republic,
pledged the blood of Slovakia's
sons" to uphold the pat. His coun-
try thus became Tie sixth nation
to join the Axis lineup. Bulgaria
is expected to make a similar COM
mitment, possibly tomorrow.
Pact Signed
The pact was signed in the
reich's chancellory amidst the usu-
al ceremonies. It was Identical
with previous documents except
for substitution of the name $50
vakia."
AS in the case of the Ruman-
ians, who left for home today "a
hours after affixing their sigma
lures to the Axis treaty, the Slova-
kiars held a long conference with
German Foreign Minister Joachim
Won Ribbentrop and other German
figures after the ceremonies.
Germany, Italy and Japan in
September bound themselves to
combine forces in the event the
var against them spreads, and in
time of peace to reorganize at
least their parts of the world on
terms more suited to their dis
positions and aims. Hungary join
ed the lineup last Wednesday.
More important than the mere
signatures of the three new ma
tons, however, is the generally
accepted belief that the signatory
Balkan powers recognize the pos
sibility of the a spreading far
