The German attack in the Balkans was
precipitated by the 'fndiscretion" of the
Yugoslav government in signing an
agreement with the U. S. S. r. 1t Is
obvious that Yugoslavia can expect no
help from the Soviet Union. But the
gesture was important for the morale
of the people in Serbia, who still looked
upon the Russians-despite Stalin-as
the patrons of their country.
The signature of such token agree
ment, to which Great Britain and the
United States did not object, might-ac-
cording to a story which can be re-
vealed now-bring the U. S. S. R. into
direct conflict with the Reich. High
United States diplomats believe that the
honeymoon period between Berlin and
Moscow is over, and that a spectacular
divorce is likely to occur sometime this
summer.
Last January the former regent of
Yugoslavia, Prince Paul, disappeared
from Belgrade. He was reported Off
cially to have gone hunting in North
ern Yugoslavia. Actually he had gone
to Berchtesgaden in response to a per-
emptory invitation from Adolf Hitler.
Prince Paul Greatly Impressed.
The meeting between the weak Yugo-
slav chief regent and the determined
German Fuehrer was stormy. Hitler raved
and fumed when he tried to persuade
the regent of the necessity for Yugo-
slavia to throw in her lot with the axis,
and become an important member of
the new order In Europe. But what was
really important in that abortive dis
cussion was that Hitler, who had let
himself go, repeatedly informed the Rus
sian-born and Soviet-hating Paul that
in June or July the axis powers would
attack the U. S. S. r. and thus "eradi-
cate an abscess which is poisoning the
new European political and economic
order"
Prince Paul returned to Belgrade still
strongly pro-British, but greatly i'm
pressed that it would be Hitler who
would sound the death knell of the hated
Communist government of Russia. He

He rarely drinks tea; he prefers coffee.
But even at meal times secretary is
never far away. There is always the
possibility the Premier will want to die
tate something.
Often Coins Phrases Then.
Those closest to him say that some of
his most brilliant phrases have been
coined at a meal or in bed. Nowadays
the whole of the rest of the morning is
spent with other members of the cabinet
or in discussing points with expert ad-
visers and with leaders of the three
fighting services.
Generally, Mr.. Churchill lunches at
about 1:30 pm. with Mrs. Churchill and
sometimes with members of the family
or with colleagues who may have been
invited to continue talks begun earlier.
The meal is quite informal and simple.
The afternoon activities vary consid-
erably. Sometimes it is necessary for
Mr.. Churchill to go to the House OF
Commons either to make statement
or to listen to some debate on matters
dealing with the policy of the conduct of
the war. He likes to do this whenever
possible. Before going to the House,
the Prime Minister may have to visit
Buckingham Palace for an audience with
the King. Sometimes, engagements per-
mitting, Mr. Churchill will call to his
aid his remarkable faculty of being able
to sleep at will He can curl up for a
short sleep almost anywhere and will
awaken obviously refreshed. A black
band fixed over his eyes with a piece
of elastic enables him to GO to sleep al
most Immediately.
Values United States Opinion.
Mr.. Churchill, as might be expected
of British Prime Minister who is also
the son of an American mother, par
ticularly values opinion coming to him
from the United States. All the dis
tinguished men who have recently come
over from America realize this fact to
the full. Wendell Willkie, Harry Hop
kins, Col. William Donovan will bear me
out. When John Winant came over to
succeed Joseph Kennedy as Ambassador,
he saw Mr.. Churchill almost before he
had shaken off the dust of his travels.
He went to dinner with the Prime Min
lister and they spent the whole evening
together. Mr.. Hopkins spent the largest
part of his time when in this country
with the Prime Minister AS for Mr..
Willkie, it is related that one discussion
he had with the Premier lasted for
over eight hours.

of radio music programs that are
unusually interesting.
