up by Italian defenders at any

defended by some of Italy's finest
troops, including grenadiers rushed

rican and Belgian troops smashed

To New JugosIavia
Govt. In Battles
Welles Assures Rulers
Americans Welcome
Adherence to Liberty

WASHINGTON, March 27.
(UP)-The United States to-
day promised to help the
new Jugoslav government
under the lend-lease act IN
any fight it chooses to make
against aggression.
Acting Secretary of State Sumner
Welles announced he had sent word
to that effect to the newly consti-
tuted Belgrade government under
young King Peter II.
He requested the American min
lister to Jugoslavia, Arthur Bliss
Lane, to convey the United States'
assurances to the government He
informed Jugoslav Minister Con-
stantin Fotitch of his action when
the Minister called to discuss the
situation.
Lane also was instructed to tell
the new Belgrade government that
its formation had been welcomed
in the United States by every liber-
ty-loving man and woman.
Welles said Lane was told to ad-
wise the Jugoslav government that
in accordance with the terms of
the lend-lease bill, President Roose-
velt is enabled, in the interest of
our own national defense, to render
effective material assistance to ma
tions which are seeking to preserve
their independence and integrity
against aggression.
WelleS' revelation was the first
open admission that the United
States had promised aid to Jugo-
slavia, although Axis papers had
bitterly commented on reports that
such promises were made in an
effort to keep the former Jugoslav
government from signing the Axis
pact.
