I' Q TEA IN MCMAIN'S PATIO lv0I'1lfI.0llHl Guzfdnnce Conference for the Seniors in our High School. prise, General Somivic of the Slav air corps staged a bloodless revolu- tion against the German sympathiz- ers in the grovernment by seizing and imprisoning' Premier Cvetovic and his ministers. Sober officials then plunged into the urgent task of ap- peasing' the Croatian element which favors the Axis, and ot' bracing' Yu- goslavia tor imminent attack. News of' Yugroslavia's act was re- ceived by the world with varying results. Russia heartily approved of this check on dangerous Axis expan- sion, while Greece and England found new hope in the temporary halt ot' Nazi moves in the Balkans. To Germany. ol' course, this stubborn resistance brought great humiliation. Unpleasant for Yugoslavia to con- template is the possible internal strife as a result of this action, but be- cause ol' its vital effect on widespread fronts, Yug'oslavia's brave defiance is undoubtedly Big' News. lfnrl y- fix ti: 4: .,: Balkan War Front lixteuded By Jane Warren The explosive Balkans remained in the headlines last week as the ex- pected German onslaught was loosed upon both Yugoslavia and Greece on April 6. With characteristic sud- deness, Nazi troops swarmed across the Slav border from Rumania. Aus- tria, and Hungary, and across the Greek frontier from Bulgaria in a powerful, mechanized blitzkrieg. Us- ing the time-honored excuse of pro- tecting nations from British-incited disorders, Hitler thus opened a new front which may control the ultimate outcome of the present war. A possible result of the Russian pact with Yugoslavia, or of the seiz- ure of German and Italian ships by the United States, this action to bol- ster waning prestige came as a cli- max to a week of important diplo- matic events. The combined deli- ance of Yugoslavia and Greece. the warning' acts of the United States and Russia, and the widespread Bri- tish victories in Africa have prob- ably dismayed the Axis into this desperate attempt to gain the Medi- terranean and Suez strongholds be- fore such a feat becomes impossible. The possibilities opened hy this new Balkan outburst are tremendous. Although actual invasion of England will now be further delayed, Ger- many is perilously near to the vital waterways which make up Britain's lifeline. Turkey may be forced to abandon neutrality, or Russia may be compelled to act decisively at last. Hitler's ill-concealed threat to the United States in his declaration of war was alone enough to make the opening of further Balkan conflict Big News to America, as well as to the entire world.
