DREAMER'S EYES
Johnny is dark little guy with

YUGOSLAVIA:
CouD

Joining the Axis powers by the
government of Jugoslavia was one
thing. Getting the people to swal-
low this action was another.
The sign-up, following periods of
governmental collapse and revivifi-
cation, was the signal for demon
STATIONS over the entire country,
created and given it's autonomy aft
er World War l by the Treaty of
Versailles.
Serbs, Croats joined in the out
burst, and there were parades
through Belgrade with young fellows
carrying what American and British
flags they could find, vocally and
loudly criticizing the government for
failing the public in it's hour of need.
Then, two days after the signing of
the pact came the dramatic report of
a coup d'etat by which the army
overthrow the evident pro-axis gov
eminent of Regent Prince Paul.
King Peter II, not yet 18 years
old, assumed the throne and a gov
eminent was sworn in which was
pledged to defend Jugoslavia's in
dependence. The nations army was
Immediately massed and dispatched
to battle stations along the country
frontiers.
Britain and Greece hailed these
reports as great news" and Adolf
Hitler Immediately demanded
statement of the new government as
to their attitude toward the pact the
two countries had signed but 48
hours earlier.
But from Bulgaria came reports
that the Nazis we're not waiting for
a reply to Hitler's demand. Ger
man forces in that country report
eddy began swift movement
toward the Jugoslav frontier. Cen
eral sentiment in Sofia, Bulgaria's
capital, was that the installing of a
pro-British and pro-Greek govern
ment in Jugoslavia would precipi-
tate general Balkan war.
AS the war fever rose steadily in
Jugoslavia and as the people cheered
the new regime that had its army
lined up in defiance of the Axis, the
ever-stormy Balkans took the spot
light of World war H. No matter
what the outcome Jugoslavia had
at least rendered a serious diversion
to the timetable of Adolf Hitler De-
feating Jugoslavia would be no
simple task, many military experts
predicted. 1t was assumed that the
great northern plains of the nation
would have to be abandoned as
they would offer easy going for the
swiftly moving mechanical Nazi
legions.
Real battle would come, it seemed,
in the mountain terrain of central
and southern sections of the coun-

good army, and is considered the
best of the small Balkan nations. II
numbers 200, 900 men.
The u. S. reaction to the new gov
eminent in the tiny Balkan nation
was Immediately favorable. The
state department assured Jugoslavia
that it would assist that nation in
resisting any aggression.

siderably inclined to blame labor
leaders rather than management for
the enormous increase in strikes
The present strike held in its grip
more than billion in war orders,
including a large percentage for
home defense. Police nightsticks
dubbed the strikers into submission
at the outset, permitting non-strik-
ers entrance through picket lines,
but it was evident that this was only
the start of a widespread labor
movement to fish for higher wages
through the moment of public ne
cessity.
Chief lack of sympathy with this
attitude was seen in the ranks of
relatives and friends of those taken

most of them working for $21 a
month and food and clothing in I'm

OF labor striking for increases from
so to rs cents an hour as at the
Harvill plant
They said so, in letters home, and
parents and friends joined enthusi-
astically in the protest. Many con-
gressmen and senators reported re-
ceiving such letters and kilograms.
Polls showed public sentiment al
most unanimous against such
strikes, and blaming largely the la
Dor leaders rather than the plant
owners.
The new national mediation board,
headed by DR.. Dykstra, just moved
to it from selective service, seemed
to have the Bethlehem strike as the
first pitched into its lap, and what
