cek's heutenants were en- route TO
Belgrade today to meet Gen. simo-
vic after lengthy conferences Of
Croat leaders in zagreb yesterday.
Political observers said DR.. Mack,
while permitting his followers to
support Gen. Simovic, might find 1t
personally embarrassing 10 serve in
his cabinet.
They recalled that the Croat
leader was a close friend of Prince
Paul, chief OF the deposed regency
government which signed pact
with the Berlin Toxic alli-
ance a week ago yesterday.
Terrorism Is Denied.
The government contented itself
with a denial of German press as
sertions that German nationals had
been made the object of a reign OF
terror in Yugoslavia, but public in
dignation at Nazi press attacks ran
high.
Thousands of Serbs, Croats, Bos-
mans and Montenegrins poured into
urban centers to volunteer for army
service in sudden surge of patriot
ism.
A steady flow of troop trains to-
ward the northern and the east
ern frontiers conceded with reports
of heavy new German troop move
ments across Bulgaria in the direc-
ton of the Yugoslav border.
A general exodus Of foreigners
of all nationalities continued, and
railway stations throughout the
country were jammed with crowds
awaiting tranSportati ton to the south.
Troops with fixed bayonets stood
guard however, to enforce a gov
ernment order against panicky flight
of Yugoslav civilians.

Milan Gavrilovic, minister with
out portfolio, returned from con-
ferences in Ankara and Moscow,
lending strength to reports Yugo-
slavia was trying to arrange three
cornered neutrality pact" with So
Wet Russia and Turkey.
Observers agreed such a pact
would strengthen Yugoslavias s hand
in trying to resist axis pressure, but
there was no immediate indication
whether Gavrilovic-former Yugo-
slavia minister to Moscow-had ac-
complished anything concrete.
Reports also persisted that Brit
lsh Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden, who conferred with King
George of Greece in Athens yester-
day, would come here with Gen.
Sir John G. Dill. chief of the Brit
ish Imperial Defense Staff, for talks
with Yugoslav leaders.
Simovic Seeks Unity.
All evidence pointed to the pros
pect that the latter would defer a
fortnight statement concerning
their intentions toward the Axis,
pending the outcome of the diplo-
matte scene shifting.

Comp|acencyIsW

Tells Rotary Club
Noisy Fraction Views
Defense as Annoyance,
Undersecretory Asserts

Complacency is Americas Public
Enemy No. / In the defense crisis,
Undersecretary of War Robert P.
Patterson told the Rotary Club at
a luncheon at the Willard Hotel to-
day.
COMPETENCY" said Mr.. Patter-
son. 'is a doughtier foe than any
fifth column, than any foreign
agent, than any saboteur."
He pointed out that "compla-
cency wrecked France and tore
French liberty to tatters and left
French stomachs empty adding:
"Complacency delayed England's de-
fense program for three years, and
thousands of English men and wom-
en- and children have paid for it
with their lives"
A fraction of the population, "a
rather noisy fraction Mr.. Pat
terson told the Rotarians, secs our
national defense effort not as
life and death matter but as an ir-
ritating annoyance"
All Groups Embraced.
He added:
That attitude is not confined to
any one group. There are ele-
ments in every group in America
which reflect it. You will find it
in some quarters of labor, in some
quarters of management, of agri-
culture, of business, of education,
of religion. You will find young
people and old people, right-wingers
and left-wingers, pinks and pur-
piles, Bourbons and Bolsheviks, who
feel that way about it.
You have heard much of the
delays in the defense program. You
have heard little Of the projects
that are ahead of schedule. The
delays are serious to the extent
any lost moment is serious, and
when I have said that I have said
the worst.
But the most serious of all delays
is the slowness of these groups, or
rather these fragments OF groups,
to comprehend the extent, the i'm
portance and objectives of the de-
fense program"
Plant Locations Explained.
In pointing out that arsenals,
tank factories and other defense
projects could not be distributed
over the country, as the Govern
ment might in ordinary times, Mr..
Patterson said: This defense pro-
gram is not a grab bag Still less
is it a pork barrel. 1t is a COM
pletely national program, aimed at
the defense of all the States, of all
the cities, of all the people.
IF We have placed a small-arms
plant in the city of x instead of
the city of z it is because We felt
that the larger and paramount in
terests of the Nation would best be
served by such an award.
This defense program is an all
out effort, an all-States, all-cities,
all-country effort. Our aim is not
the security of half of the country
or nine-tenths of it but of the
whole of it," .,............

Attitude Restrained.

Nazi press and radio attacks as in

relations with the Axis was indi-

nIan trains carrying wheat and
oil TO Italy were confiscated by
the Yugoslav government
King Peter II was forced to annul
one of his few royal decrees-the act
abolishing the Senate. Political
observers said this cancellation
probably was prompted by political
repercussions which were considered
undesirable at this critical moment.

superiors, started back to Berlin last

10 official German automobiles have
