United States policy, and said that the
agreement signed at Moscow the day
before would seem to be descriptive OF
situation which in effect existed be-
tween the two countries for some time
past" Events alone will determine the
real import of this agreement, which
pledges each country to neutrality If the
other is involved in war.
On Monday, the United States Con-
sulate at Istanbul urged all American
nationals to leave that area. The warm
ing reflected increasing apprehension
that the war might extend to Turkey.
About 300 Americans are still in Turkey,
most of them in Istanbul AS the Nazi
war machine continued its advance in
the Balkans, the Turks speeded up their
defensive preparations. For Turkey lies
on the road to the Suez Canal and the
oil fields of the Near East--two of Hit

Henrik de Kaufman, Danish Minister
to the United States, that he will

of the war and has been adhered to
without deviation.
Better Fuel Distribution.
Last winter there was real suffering
from lack of coal. This year there has
been a better fuel distribution and also
an increase in clothing allowance. AL
though the price of clothing has also
been increased, the net result seems to
have bolstered morale, which impartial
observers say is better after the second
war winter than it was at this time last
year.
When passed through Germany after

that time there was the same universal
manifestation of festival in Berlin, but

war prevails among the German people
today. At the same time there is an
unShakeable resolution to win.

there is little doubt that the confidence
of President Ismet Inonou in his friends
across the eastern border must have
weakened Yet Turkey can expect now
to be attacked by the Reich and its
satellites, because it lies in the path of
the eastern tornado. While the Ger
mans are still battling in Greece, reports
from Bulgaria say they are making in
tensive preparations for drive to Con-
Stantinople and thence to Asia Minor
and Suez.
Military experts who look at the Situa-
ton effectively are convinced that Hitler
will devote the remainder of the spring
and summer to cleaning up the Medi-
terranean. BY this is meant an attack on
Egypt, the Suez Canal and the forceful
incorporation of French North Africa in
Herr Hitlers new order"
These same quarters feel that had it
not been for the British endeavor to
form Balkan front the Germans would
have devoted their energy to an attack
on the British Isles-a more costly and
probably less successful operation than
the Balkan war Had it not been for a
series of unfortunate circumstances and
underestimation of Germany'S possibili-
ties on the European continent, the cam
paign might have been successful The
sure gamble" might have worked. AS
it is, Great Britain and her Allies have
to meet a most disagreeable situation full
of dangers for the immediate future.
But in spite of this setback, it is felt by
qualified, Unconditional military and naval
observers, that in the long run the
Balkan fiasco will have no vital roper
cussions on Britain's ability to resist the
Germans. 1t will merely make the war
so much longer.

lengths. Just the same, strange accounts
persistently go the rounds of extraordi-

One of the American guests at the

French Embassy Desolate.
In broad daylight the next morning I
was impressed by the desolate appear
ance of the shuttered and abandoned
French Embassy, which stands across
the avenue, now known as the Axis,
from the Adlon. thought of my meet
ing there five years ago with Francois
Poncet, the French Ambassador. Poncet
had said, They will have 200 divisions.
No one can realize how strong they are"
Like all prophets, especially gloomy
profits, he was without honor in his own
country.
I went to the Fereign Office in the
Wilhelmstrasse to register as foreign
correspondent. I passed the unguarded
British Embassy where, in peacetime,
German sentry would have been patrol
ling the entrance. I noticed the same
absence Of any protection at the French
Embassy. I was told that, after the
first few weeks of war, it had simply been
found unnecessary to patrol premises of
these enemy chancelleries.
There is no more animosity among the
German people against the British now
than against the French before the fall
of France. I heard the same story last
August in London, when no one felt any
raging temper against the German
people.

cult. Greece has no arsenals to provide
the defending forces with what is neces-
sary to fight the German onslaught;
neither has it sufficient food to feed its
population and the fighting armies.
Even in numerical man power the
Allies are inferior. Without attempting
to divulge major military secrets it can
be revealed that the British have not
more than $4,000 men in Greece. The
Greek Army is probably less than 100000.
Against this force there is a German
Army of 10000 100000 at the front;
the balance kept in reserve, in Bulgaria
and Rumania); there are some 100000
MagyarS ready to be thrown into action
if the situation warrants, and there are
100000 Bulgars ready to march wherever
the German general staff may need
them despite the assurances the Bull
garian Minister at Washington has given
the State Department during the past
week that the Bulgarian Army will not
participate effectively in this war.
Italian forces are not included in this
survey.
A tragedy in the Balkans is likely
to have grave repercussions throughout
the East, even though it has fulfilled
part of its purpose-to draw Germany's
main attention from the British Isles
and give the United States more time to
speed up it's assistance to Great Britain.
The signature of the RuSso-Japanese
neutrality pact last Sunday-after the
Russian diplomats in Moscow and IN
Washington had given definite indica-
tions that such a pact would not be
signed unless the japanese surrendered
the Chinese Eastern Railways and the
towns of Mukden and Harbln-was the
first major sequel of the Balkan cam
paign. Matsuoka'S visit to Berlin and
Rome was considered in British and
American diplomatic circles as a COM
plete flop because it occurred at time
when the Italian fleet had been defeated
at Cape Matapan and Herr Hitler had
suffered diplomatic defeat at Belgrade.

Yugoslavs received similar promise of
assistance from Moscow, while the Hun
garians were administered a public
spanking for having occupied Yugoslav
territory. The Muscovite diplomats and
military leaders believed, as did those in
London and in Washington, that the
new Balkan front would keep the Ger
mans busy for many months and would
somewhat weaken GermanyS military
prestige.
