The Nagi troops which broke through M-t so Vo pass In the north ern ITndus range pressed on to lonsnnlna to the soe.ihwest and were believed to he/e cut off lbw line of retreat of large of Greek troops moving back from Albania. How mt-.ny of the Greek* managed Io get out before the Germans closed their trap was not known he', the road from loaning to Atta has been clogged for days with th'-lr slow-moving transport The German column now was presumed Io lie swinging southward along the rusd to Aria. However. the rapidity of the Naal advance to laimla and the likelihood of an early break through all the way to Athens may leave a considerable "Island” of Greek troops In southwest Greece, cut off from the main defending armies. The British believed and their ie-llef was shared by many other European capitals—that action so far ha* lieen only a curtain-raiser on Hitler's spring offensive.

Budapest claimed that Rtisiaa may lie stirring up the Rumanians to make impossible demands of Hungary and there were rumors that-Germany might switch her sapport from Gen lon Antonescu to Horia Klma. Iron guard leader. Some clarification of thi* situation may arise from a conference of axis statesmen which has been considering the Balkan* at or near Vienna. This amiarently was a preliminary conference of Italy's Count Galeaxxo Ciano and Germany’s Joachim Von Ribbentrop to agree on how Jugoslavia and Greece shall lie divided. Reports said Rumania would get none of the spoil* Bulgaria, Hungary ami Croaiiu. however. were *ald to lie down for territorial gain*. Japan's foreign minister Yosuka Matsuoka arrived at Tokyo where Interest was rising In the possibility of an early resumption of Japan's drive Into the Mouth Pacific to coincide with the climax of the fighting in Europe Matsuoka threw no light on these posslbllitle* and had nothing to say on the po»*ibllily of an embroilment between Japan and the United States. the le*M>n and Mr*.
