Coup May Change
HiiIer's Entire
Balkan Strategy

too, where it was thought that Jugo-
slavia and Greece would now fight
the German threat shoulder-to-
shoulder The coup was believed to
make possible realization of the
British ambition to set up a Balkan
defensive bloc of Jugoslavia, Greece
and Turkey.
Russia was mum but there was
ONE suspicion that the Soviet may
have given undercover encourage
ment of the anti-German groups.
One of the chief factions in the
coup was the Serb agrarian party
whose leader Milan Gavrilovitch,
has been Jugoslav minister to Mos
COW and quit his post to come back
home on receiving word of the
axis pact signature.
The United Press dispatch from
Athens which thought word of
Greek rejoicing also presented other
intelligence for it was filed by
Richard D. Mcmillan, the United
Press correspondent accredited to
the British in Cairo.
His sudden appearance in Athens
indicated hat he was there with a
British eXpeditionary force. The
presence of this force has been
known for many days but has not
yet been officially admitted in
Athens or London.
Overnight Germanys nicely cal
culated plans to organize" the
Balkans and restrict the possible
sphere Of war operations to a mar
row Greek front were overturned
like an apple cart smashed by
speeding roadster.
There was no direct word from
Belgrade regarding the coup and
no indirect word as to the plans
of Jugoslavia's new rulers. Thus. it
could not be said flatly that they
would throw the axis pact into
the discard. But the character of
the men who assumed power-rep-
reSenting the elements in Jugoslav-
ia which had protested alignment
with Germany most bitterly-the
shocked, reticent attitude in Berlin
and the gleeful words of Prime
Minister Winston Churchill, left all
doubt as to the outcome.
What the coup could mean in
military terms was not yet clear
Germany suddenly found itself
with 100000 men, more or less. in
Bulgaria and Rumania with a hos
tile nation on her long flank from
south Germany to the Greek from
tier.
Jugoslavias army, between 675.-
600 and 100000 men, stands mo-
bilized and ready for action if Hitler
decides to cut the Gordian knot
of his dilemma by releasing his
Panzer divisions in an attempt to
win JugoSlaviai by force of arms
what Foreign Minister Joachim
Won Ribbentrop failed TO achieve
by power diplomacy.
If Jugoslavia will stand and fight
against German domination, Turkey
has said she will do the same.
Such a lineup would affect rad
ically the fighting odds in the
Balkans even if Germany still held
an edge.

this and educate others to this
effect. Many visitors have COM
mented on our apathetic attitude
saying that if other communities
with twice the enthusiasm. had half
as much to brag about, they would
be the happiest and proudest people
on earth
The many assets of the valley
were weighed against its few short
comings in a talk. Imperial Valley
Turns The Corner by Paul jenkins.
Press publisher, chairman OF
the El Centre Chamber of Com
merce Objeetiyes committee OF
which the confidence objective IS
part.
jenkins divided the valleys his
tory into three periods, the pioneer
or formative period from 1900
to 1892: the period of problems ana
rsadjuStments extending from 1882
to l94l; and the period of real
growth, stable progress and extend
ed expansion, starting with 1941.
The latter period started official
ly, he declared, on February "a
when the refunding modification
went into effect This eliminated
three Of the only possible "liabili-
ties the valley might have. Those
eliminated, he listed as:
Bankruptcy, insolvency and bad
credit reputation. in favor Of dis
trict solvency and highest credit
standing.
Fear Of unreasonable taxes by
placing a tax ceiling in the future
Drainage problem, by providing
for almost s750,000 to be spent on
drainage during the next two years.
The only remaining problems, he
listed as % need for improved
farm credit. for which the outlook
is bright; (2) completion and oper-
alton of the All-American canal,
which is due for completion in the
immediate future; and 80 proof
that the power program can meet
the canal payments.
The latter two. he declared, are
no longer shrouded in doubt but
combine to form an outstanding
asset in addition to the long list
of asset values" which he defined
as:
% Soil; 90 Guaranteed water
supply; 81 Year-round crop eli
mate; "a Wide diversity of crops;
80 High yield per acre; 90 Low
production costs; Cd Absence Of
floods and other natural hazards;
80 Potential expansion to twice
the present producing acreage; 80
Opportunity for civic, residential
and community Improvement; Q0
Factors combining to make the val
ley good place in which to live.
To these, he said, additional as
sets made possible by the refund
ing plan should be added: District
solvency and good credit standing;
tax safety for the farm owner; d
prevailing low average of farm in
debtednesS, and a good chance of
farm credit improvement.
1T would appear that all we
really need is a realization of our
blessings" jenkins said
That's the job for everybody here
and everybody in Imperial Valley
to accomplish"

president, opened the meeting and
welcomed the visitors from other
