By the Associated Press.
ROME, April 21.-The Italian high
command reported today Italian
forces had reoccupied the entire
Ionian coast of Albania as far as
the Greek frontier.
In the Mediterranean, the war
bulletin said italian planes tor
pedoed and sank 15,000-ton oil
tanker and an 8,000-ton auxiliary
cruiser out of an Allied convoy.
The newspaper II Popolo di Roma
said "a big battle to wipe out the
! Greek Army" was in progress at
Perati Bridge, which spans the
Viosa River at the Greek Albanian
frontier. Earlier reports said Fascist
dive-bombers had blasted the BRIDGE
trapping the Greeks on the Albanian
side.
Resistance Tenacious.
"Our troops yesterday forced
Greek troops, who were offering te-
nacious resistance in fortified posi-
tions at the Albanian border, TO
beat a retreat" the high command
said.
The Italian reoccupied coastal
area was the part of Southern Al
bania taken by the Greeks last NO.
vember after turning back the 1taI-
| ian invasion.
Fascist airmen were declared to
have blasted Greek troop concen-
trations and mechanical vehicles IN
successive waves, destroying and
damaging considerable Greek equip
ment.
other air units attacked Ithaca,
on the Greek island of Cephalonla,
and the island of Corfu, hitting
numerous vessels, the high command
said. 1t added that harbor installa-
tions at Missolonghi and the railway
station at Kalmata in Southwestern
| Greece, were heavily hit.

question of chasing the enemy from
Albanian soil, but to hold him tlght
in the pincers," II Popolo di Romas
correspondent, Clan Gaspare Napo-
litano, wrote from the front.
Napolitano said the Greeks, re-
treating in an orderly manner in the
early part of their withdrawal, "lost
time in systematic destruction OF
material which could not be trans
ported, burning gasoline and scat

want to leave anything behind. Ar

panying them brought up the rear
and sought to slow down our posi-

Italians, meanwhile, broke through
the Greek left wing and almost
simultaneously darted along the
coast beyond Porto Palermo, Napoli-

wings of the Italian line are closing
in on the main body of the Greek
Army, which is in flight with the
greatest speed allowed by the ter-
rain, interruptions and the march

BATAVIA, Java CBy Clipper -
Japan has paid dearly in prestige for
her effort to profit from Hollands
grief. The economic negotiations
which the Japanese started here,
shortly after Hollands fall last year,
have been story of steady japanese
retreat from the high-handed posi-
ton taken at the beginning.
In Toxic, the government is being
criticized for the slow pace of the
talks, from whichs so much had
been expected. A quick and success
full conclusion to the conversations is
demanded. If the Japanese Gov
ernment is to save its face at home
1t must produce something. Yet the
only hope for the japanese delega-
ton to take signed agreement back
to Toxic is to accept a fraction of
what 1t first asked for, and without
political strings attached.
Lately, there has been a marked
change in the attitude of the Japan
ese delegation. 1t looks now as
though it may be willing to take
what 1t can get and go home. II,
on the other hand, the negotiations
break down, there will be lot Of
explaining to do in Toxic.
Went Out to Pick Plum.
Immediately after the fall OF Hol-
land, Japan's pro-axis government
began organizing an economic ex-
pedition to the Indies for the pur-
pose of picking the ripe and juicy
plum. 1t looked, indeed, like fine
chance to get something for Moth
ing. The Dutch here were bewildered
and confused.
The Japanese missed too many
boats. For weeks they wrangled
over the personnel of their mission.
1t was not until September IL that
an economic delegation, headed by
the Japanese minister of industries,
I. Kobayashi, arrived in Batavia,
BY this time, the Dutch were be-
ginning to feel their strength.
1t was obvious from the attitude
of the Kobayashi mission that it ex-
pected to find in the Netherlands
Indies situation very similar to
that of French Indo- China. But the
Dutch quickly set the visitors right
Here was no forlorn and helpless
waif paralyzed by fear of Japanese
might. The Dutch greeted the visit
ing delegates cordially and extended
them fI1ll police "nrotection They
told the mission that they would be
glad to meet it halfway on any pro-
posals of a purely economic nature

but that politics and new order"
were out.
AS far as anybody on the outside
knows, the Dutch have conducted the
talks on this basis from the begin
ming. The Dutch are worried about
the japanese menace and have no
wish to provoke an invasion, If it
can be helped Therefore, they may
be willing to conclude an economic
deal of some sort. But the Dutch
insist they would fight rather than
agree to anything which would give
the japanese political foothold in
their islands.
The japanese have more than
once tried veiled threats, but with
out success. At the barest sug-
geStion of intimidation the Dutch
negotiators raise their eyebrows, ask
the japanese, in effect, "How's that
again?" and refuse to 60 on with
the talks until the japanese attitude
has been reclarified.
When Kobayashi and his small
, army of experts and military and
naval aides arrived on the scene,
the Dutch politely asked them for an
agenda-a list of proposals. The
Japanese said they had none. To
the surprise of the Dutch, 1t became
clear that the Japanese had come
to Batavia without any very con-
crete idea of what they wanted,
except oil. This they quickly OBJ
tanned, in limited amount, through
negotiation between the Oil COM
panies concerned. The firm Dutch
attitude frustrated any intention the
Japanese may have had of proposing
a special relationship" between the
Indies and Japan. So, after two
months of fruitless beating around
the bush, the ill-starred Kobayashi
mission returned to Toxic.
Antagonized Dutch.
Kobayashi had antagonized the
Dutch with his blunt manner and
his ineptness. His inability to speak
any language but Japanese was an
other barrier. Consequently, with
the Dutch gaining confidence from
strong British and American back
ing, the Japanese changed their
tactics. They sent second and
final" mission to the Indies headed
by seasoned diplomat, the aging
but able Kenkichi Yoshizawa. This
was a distinct climbdown for the
Japanese. Yoshizawa is a mild lit
tie man whose personal views have
little in common with those of
Japan's flre-eating expansionists.
Yoshizawa arrived late in Decem-
ber and on January 16 presented the
Dutch a list of Japanese proposals

the first real intimation Of what
Japan wanted.
The Japanese agenda contained
so many political jokers that it was
quite unacceptable to the Dutch in
the form presented. But it was at
least beginning. The Japanese had
at last shown their hand. The
Dutch responded with a counter
agenda vastly different from the
Japanese version. The negotiators
were able 70 get down to business.
The Dutch side of the negotiations
is in able hands. Hubert J. van
Nook, chief of the Dutch delegation,
is trained economist of great exec
utive capacity, who was born in the
Indies and considers them home.
He is a moose of a man, with a
great shock of blond hair. His
stature makes him a source of Won
derment to the diminutive Jap
anese. To give Van Nook the proper
rank he was drafted from the de-
partment of economic affairs, which
he heads, and was made a minister
plenipotentiary for the duration Of
the negotiations" Some people in
