Week In Review
THREAT IN THE
MEDITERRANEAN
~ MILTON sRoWN. JT.A.

Among the effects of the Nazi
oououest of Greece and YugO-
slavia are ~ the threat of re-
nression against the 100000 Jews
i the Balkan countries, (2) the
clearing of the decks for an Axis
drive towards Palestine and the
Near East.
The Axis is already preparing
FIR an anti-Jewish drive in the Bal
kans The Rome radio began TO-
cussing attention on the Jewish
question by issuing a report esti-
mating the number of Jews in
Bulgaria, Yugoslavia and Greece
at about a half-million" and de-
claring they had great economic
life in the Balkan countries"
First anti-JeWish measure which
the Nazis announced in the Bal
kanS was conscripting of Jews in
to forced labor gangs. The Berlin
radio said they would be used to
build railways and roads. This is
only the beginning. The Nazis un-
dOubtedly will follow their usual
pattern of anti-Jewish repression
in the occupied Balkan countries.
AS this was being written, the
Near East seemed the most likely
next target of the Axis drive, and
this would bring Palestine into
the immediate war arena. The
Holy Land is threatened from two
sides. If Turkey should permit pas
sage of German troops, Palestine
would be exposed to immediate at
tack since Vichy-controlled Syria
probably would not resist. More
remote is the menace from the
west as the Axis forces battle the
British in the Egyptian and Lib
yam desert.
Aroused over the imminent
threat, the Palestine Jews are
squirting their recruiting cam
paign and the ZiOniStS have in
tenSified the movement for eStab-
iShment of a iarge-scale Jewish
army. 1t is now revealed tn a t
