Russian, British Row
Over Balkan Control
Expected al Farley
By JOSEPH H. BAIRD.

The centuries-long struggle be-
tween Russia and Great Britain for
political domination Of the Balkan
countries seems likely to arise again
during the Big Three meeting in
Potsdam, partly as a result of the
current tension between Yugoslavia
and Greece, it was learned in diplo-
matte circles today.
Actually, authorities here say, the
Greek Eugoslav dispute is just a
surface manifestation of a much
deeper struggle between the Rus
sian-led Pan Slavic bloc and the
Mediterranean nations which are
closely allied with the western pow
ers. 1t burst into public view this
week when Marshal Tito of Yugo-
Slavia accused the Greek Macedon-
ians of carrying out reign of terror
against leftist elements in their dis
trict and of firing across the border
into Yugoslavia.
Significant Move.
Diplomatic observers here consider
1t significant that Marshal Tito's ac-
cusations were timed perfectly with
Moscow dispatches saying that the
National Front of Federal Mace
donia had Informed Yugoslavia that
Greek FaScists" were prosecuting
them. It is accepted as a matter of
fact in diplomatic circles here that
Marshal Tito is dominated politi-
cally by Marshal Stain, while the
Greek government always advises on
major issues with the British foreign
Office.
What is not clear to diplomats,
however, is whether Russia is pre-
pared to support whatever ambi-
tons YugosIavia may have in Mace
donia, or whether the whole issue
has been raised as a straw man"
which Moscow may knock down and
use as bargaining point at Pots
dam in trade for other concessions
for instance a share in the con-
troll of the Dardenelles.
Reasons for YugoSlav interest in
Greek Macedonia are obvious. The
port of Salonika and the Struma

channel for trade between Yugo-
slavia and nations whose commerce
flows to that country through the
Mediterranean. Although the Stru-
ma is not navigable, a railroad
which parallels it runs from Salon
ika into Yugoslavia.
Economic Weapon.
Under convention negotiated in
1928, Yugoslavia imports move on
duty-free basis through Salonika.
However, the railroad through that
port into Yugoslavia was seriously
damaged during the war, first by
Allied bombings and secondly by the
sabotage of Axis forces as they with
drew. Marshal Tito recently has
been bringing pressure on the
Greeks to restore the line. So far
this has not been done. Control of
the lower railroad gives Greece an
economic weapon against Yugo-

slavia which may account in part

Islavia which may account In part
for Marshal Tito's antagonism.
If 1t is Marshal Tito's ambition
to stir UP revolution against the
authority Of Athens in Greek Mace
donia, authorities here do not be-
lieve that the prospects are bright.
Out of total population of 1,500,-
900, the area has only 10000 Slav-
speaking people. They are related
racially to the Bulgars. Bulgarian
troops occupied the area during the
years when the Axis controlled the
Balkans, and many of the Mace
DOMAIN Slavs evacuated along with
the retreating armies.
The Fam, the left-wing Greek
movement which contains many
Communists, is rather strong in
Greek Macedonia. However, experts
here believe that only a minority
would support Yugoslavia against
Greece. The vast majority are Greek
Macedonians in their primary loyal
ty and only Secondarily Com
munists.
AtUuutCo ItaS1L Ouus
From the viewpoint of Greece, the
retention of the Macedonian plain
is vital to its economic life. AL
though the area contains only one
fifth of Greece's population, it pro-
duceS one-third of that country's
food.
When, about a year ago, Yugoslav
Macedonian nationalist began talk
ing loudly of uniting with their
Greek co-racialists to form an indie
pendent state, Marshal Tito prompt
ly suppressed them, and, indeed,
ordered some of them shot.
At that time, however, Germany
still had not been defeated, and
Marshal Tito obviously considered it
important to maintain good rela-
tons with London as well as Mos
cow. Now he may not consider that
necessary.
However, diplomats here do not
view the Greek-YugoSlav issue as
isolated but as part of the general
problem of future political align
mentS in the Balkans. 1t is believed
quite possible that Marshal Tito's
statement may reflect wider Rus
sian effort to bring pressure on
Greece and Turkey in connection
with its demands for a larger share
of influence in the Balkans.
Interest here centers around the
extent to which Great Britain is
prepared to oppose Russian ambi-
tons, particularly Moscow's demand
for a share of control of the OAR
danelles.
