Jugos|av Leaders
Blamed for Defeat

LONDON, May CUP) - The
British army's own story of the
fight in the Balkans, from the mo-
ment of the German attack on
JugoSlavia and Greece to the last
dramatic hours when the British
Australian and New Zealand eX-
peditionary force embarked on the
beaches under fire, was told today.
1t made it plain that the stano
against the Germans was doomed
from the start. 1t was charged that
the Cvetkovitch government of Ju-
gcslavia had disposed the army
only partly mobilized-with politi-
cal and not military considerations,
in view: that the Greek and Brit
ish forces could not join their line
along the Jugoslav frontier; that
the Jugoslav army could not even
make a fight to hold the vital BIZ
toll Gap. and that the Germans
poured through to meet on the
frontier only a force of Greek
frontier guards.
1t disclosed that Greek resistance
had completely collapsed before
April IA and that from then on the
British expeditionary force was left
alone to fight its way back.
