when Ismet Inonu realized that the game
in the Balkans was up.
BY these boasts the Wilhelmstrasse
admitted that the key to the Balkans
was Yugoslavia which they felt was
safely in Hitler's pocket. The unexpected

OF the Yugoslavian Army now is expected
to force Germany to wage a serious war
in the Balkans.
Stuka bombers and panzer divisions
are much less important there than in
any other theater of war where the
Nazi army has been victorious It is be-
lieved here that at present Germany does
not have enough troops concentrated be-
tween the Carpathian Mountains and
the Balkans to fight successfully against
the GreekBritish forces in the Struma
Valley and at the same time to wage war
against the Serbs in the Vardar Valley
and the Macedonian Mountains. Imp0r-
tant reinforcements will have to be sent
immedlately-and notwithstanding that
the Reich armies can move along interior
lines. it is expected to take at least four
weeks to get the necessary additional di-
visions to Yugoslavia.

The situation in the Balkans took a
dramatic turn in favor of the Allies
Thursday when the boy King Peter-sup-
ported by the army-assumed the reins
of government in Belgrade and decided
to discard the Vienna agreement with
the axis.
The action of the Yugoslav Army was
not particularly surprising to those in
high position in Washington. In tele-
phone conversations with the United
States since Monday-when only CEN
sored information was reaching the out
side world from Belgrade-Arthur Bliss
Lane, our Minister, had reported that the
army was determined not to accept the
surrender arranged by the venal Marko-
vich government, and might precipitate a
coup d'etat with the tacit approval of the
weak regent, Prince Paul.
Arrests Of Serbian patriots by the po-
lice, under Markovich's direction, had cast
doubt on how effective revolution might
be. But Wednesday afternoon high off,
Gals here decided that coup d'etat was
inevitable when the army, ordered out in
perse participants in demonstration, re-
fused to fire upon the crowd of unarmed
peasants and students When police at

order to put it "in place of safety they
were routed by the army itself. Uncon-
flrmed reports here indicate that num-
ber of Gestapo agents cooperating with
the police were manhandled severely.
Simovich Moving Spirit in Revolution.
Matters were brought to head by the
failure of the Markovich government to
arrest two high-ranking officials. Gen.
Slmovich, who was retired a few weeks
ago because the Germans considered him
"a British tool was the moving spirit in
the revolution. Simovich expressed OPEN
ly, to the Prince Regent and the cabinet,
his opinion that the proposed treaty with
the Reich was a disgraceful surrender of
the country. To the objection that the
Yugoslav Army did not possess weapons
to resist an eventual German attack
Simovich replied that the army was well
equipped with small arms, artillery and
reconnaissance planes, and was fully able
TO meet any menace in the mountains OF
Macedonia and the Vardar Valley. He
pointed out further that in case of Ger
man onslaught the British were prepared
to bring from Greek ports sufficient REIN
forcements-and particularly war mate
rial-to enable the Yugoslav Army to
fight for many months. He also told the
government he had received reports from
Washington that American production of
war material will be stepped up soon and
tnat Yugoslavia will benefit under the
terms of the lease-lend bill.
Markovich wanted to arrest Gen. Simo-
vich, but was restrained by the fear of
precipitating rebellion in the army.

tant role was the Chief of Staff, Gen.

tlons in Bulgaria into Salonika sector

Bitterly, British and Greek spokesmen
expressed regret at Yugoslav abandon
ment OF neutrality; smugly, German
and Italian sources hailed action and
referred to isolation" of Greece, of Brit

In Belgrade, in Sarajevo, and in sew
eral smaller cites of Yugoslavia, the fires
of revolt and rebellion were
FIRES OF smouldering danger ously.
Revolt Busily, secret police, report
edly aided by Nazi Gestapo
agents, tried to round up demonstrators
and foes of axis adherence, but their
efforts were as futile as trying to reverse
the tides of the oceans. Strict telephone
censorship and prohibitions imposed
upon foreign correspondents failed alike
to repress news of deepening troubles.
And underneath this resistance was a
quleter and more formidable strength
that of the Yugoslav Army and its lead
ershlp, the strong men of the nation
and their symbol of patriotism and in
dependence, l7-year-old Peter, heir to
the throne.
So quiet were the preparations of this
band that Prince Paul, Cvetkovich and
others of the pro-axis government
thought that the quelling of street riots
on Wednesday night had signaled tho
virtual end of resistance. But a zero
hour had been set at the next morning.
And soon after Wednesday midnight,

Coup points, ofhcered patrols ap-
peared almost simultaneously

a modest hotel suite, a grizzled veteran
commander of the Yugoslav Air Corps,
Gen. Dusan Simovich, emerged as the
iron man of this almost bloodless coup,
assuming the premiership while the
young Peter became in fact his nations
King. Held under arrest were Paul, ap-
pretended while attempting to flee the
country, and Cvetkovich.
Curtly, then, Nazi Ambassador was in
formed that neither King Peter nor his
Parliament would ratify Vienna pact

trary to the will of the Yugoslav people"
Precisely what will come next from
this reversal of Yugoslav position was
still in doubt as this was written.
BY Friday noon, about 100000 men
were reported under arms and at military
stations, prepared to resist any axis effort
to cross Yugoslav frontiers Airplane
units were patrolling the border skies,
aware that Nazi troop movements SOUTH
ward through Bulgaria already had been
diverted westward toward Yugoslav

The average Australian reaction to
Pacific strategy has undergone
marked change since the collapse OF
France and the eruption of enemy
raiders into Australian coastal waters.
The previous feeling of immunity which
distance was felt to have conferred has
been ruGely dissipated; and Australia
now tends to see herself as formative
factor il Pacific affairs, rather than as
q trading state on the periphery.
Until the present war Pacific problems
did not loom largely in the public mind.
When one school of publicists spoke OF
"the Near North" instead OF the Far
East" it was thought to be a pretty
phrase but little more. BY and large,
1t could be said that Australians felt
themselves no more Immediately threat
ened than they had been during the
Great War. Even air raids were not
viewed as likely contingencies; the pros
pect of land invasion was lightly dis
missed: and few people anticipated more
than the chance of hit-and-run raid
against industrial certers situated on
the coast.
The collapse of France last June
changed all this, because the French
and Dutch colonies introduced q mobile
element into Pacific strategy, an element
which might bring enemies much closer
TO Australian soil. Various factors in
the Pacific situation received new values,
and the pre-existing strategical schemes
came to be looked upon from more
immediate, practical point of view.
japanese Expansionism.
Hitherto the Pacific zone had been
dominated by four strategical schemes
the self defensive power of the Dutch
East Indies, the British system based
on Singapore, the northsouth japanese
strategical axis, and the east-West
these strategical developments had not
crossed each other to any appreciable
extent. Certainly considerable degree
of parallelism had been achieved par
Ecularly as between the British and the
Dutch, but 1t could not truthfully be said
that the American and British systems
were organically complementary in any
Immediately practical sense
An intersection was always possible,
between the Japanese pushing their line
southward and the Americans extending
their sphere of influence westward; but
the fear of appearing provocative had
led the United States on two recent oc-
casions to reject schemes for the further
fortif1cation of Guam. This position no
longer pertains, because the avowed ex-
pansionism of japanese policy under the
present Konoye ministry directly threat
ems the interests of all other countries
in the Pacific. Japan has not only
enunciated her belief in a new order in
the orient; she has not only linked up
her foreign policy with that of Germany
and Italy by signing the Berlin pact last
September; she has also Endorsed the
moral background and practical meth

the defenders are compelled to use actual
operational bases further north or east.
1t does not require much imagination
to see that. technically speaking, it could
serve the purposes of an American Navy
operating in Micronesia just as easily as
1t could those of a British Navy in the
China Sea. In other words, an agree
ment regarding the use of Singapore
would obviate the American necessity of
limiting her strategical schemes to the
Hawaiian base. In the case of conflict,
it would place America in the position
of being able to cut both Japan's south
ern and eastern naval lines.
Finally, as far as Australia is con-
cerned fundamental element in the
Pacific situation is the recent strengthen
ing of the defenses of the Dutch East
Indies, especially insofar as minelaying
devices and submarines are concerned.
If Japan moved in this direction, she
would be operating 1000 miles away from
her main bases and l 500 miles from such
outer bases as Hainan; and it is believed
that the Dutch could, and would, put up
a protracted resistance. Dutch resistance
would be all-important in any Pacific
conf1agration because it would so deci-
sively affect the time-factor, particularly
as regards the bringing of reinforce
ments to Singapore.
Singapore Base of System.
After all, at this present inchoate juno
ture, the British system in the Western
Pacific is based on Singapore; and it
would be altogether erroneous to think
that this system Is inoperable without
American participation. No service is
done either to British or to American
interests by an assumption that Britain
is merely gambling on the likelihood of
American intervention to protect Austria
liza and the other British possessions in
the Pacific.
The Singapore system is self contained,
and there is no attempt at evasion of
legitimate responsibilities when British
publicists discuss wider strategical po-
tentialities in the Pacific. There is no
passing the buck" to America. The de-
fense of Australia rests primarily on
Ine singapore DaSe, tne BRUSH Navy
and Australia's own internal defensive
structure. Common instincts of self
preservation could not have it other
wise, although Australians are sufficiently
realists to understand how much easier
1t is If Pacific problems are tackled by
every power round the Pacific basin.
Australias capacity to deal with any
threat to herself ultimately depends on
the degree to which her own resources
are supplemented from outside. In this
connection, it is felt that Australia is un-
doubtedly an essential link in any scheme
of Pacific defense that is to encompass
the belt from Singapore to Hawaii. She
occupies valuable position on the chain
of communications, far more so than
the Philippines, because, no matter how
integrated the American defensive sys-

On Other Fronts

This possibility of visiting disaster upon
II Duce, incidentally, was given further
strength during week as British forces
continued successful operations against
Fascists in East Africa.
On Gulf of Alden, British air and naval
units completed reconquest of British
Somaliland occupied by Italians since
last August. Punching northward toward
railroad between Adds Ababa and Jibuti,
another British force captured Harar in
Ethiopia and expected to set up Ethio-
plan capital for siege or surrender in
matter of days. And while two other
British columns continued eastward ad-
vances in Lake Tana sector, major force
captured Cheren after seven-week as
