opinion in some British and Bal
kan quarters was that a Nazi Of
fenSive against Greece from the new
positions in Bulgaria may not be
as imminent as has been reported
Those quarters said Germany
would need time to place her forces
in position for the offensive, mean
time increasing diplomatic pressure
on Greece and sweeping Jugoslavia
into the Axis.
Non-BritiSh sources in London
feared that Greece might bow to
this pressure and that Britains pres
tige would suffer a blow that might
enable Germany to strike in three
points-the western, central and
eastern Mediterranean.
However, all Athens reports in
sisted that Greece was ready to fight
to the death no matter what the
odds. Turkey seemed to be on the
sidelines unless directly attacked
but was preserving freedom of ac-
ton.
One Turkish source said that no
help was expected from Russia other
than possible moral support. That
source thought Russia would pro-
test a German move on the OAR
danelleS and keep on protesting
stronger than ever If the Germans
drove all the way to India-but still
do nothing to stop them.
A novel thesis was offered by
Premier Benito Mussolini's spokes-
man, Virginia Gayda. He said that
the British imperial forces in Libya
had suffered enormous losses" and
that British and Greek troops were
being rushed from Greece to bolster

that whether these reports are true,
they nevertheless prove that the
British consider the Greek war lost.
