NAZI DILEMMA: INVADE OR WAIT

Jugoslav Coup Causes Hitler to Hesitate in Balkans.

by Military might, resistance of Jugoslavia’s Army, undoubtedly supported by British troops now in Greece, might set the entire Balkans aflame. Revolution has a way of spreading and the German hold on the Balkan countries that have bowed to him must remain precarious to the end of the war.

Balkan reports in the past 24 hours have credited Moscow with having] resolved to reconsider Russia's relations with Germany if Jugoslavia’s frontier is violated. | Should a German army invade Jugoslavia, that would mean the Fuehrer had taken the initiative and the consequences could not be interpreted as due to an act of aggression by the Jugoslavs. Thus, Hungary, Rumania and Bulgaria | would not have to attack Jugo-| slavia, under the terms of the Tri-| plice, as an automatic action.

Started in “Wee Hours”

The Jugoslav coup was carried out by elements for the most part friendly to Russia as well as to Britain, The actual sequence of events in Jugoslav appeared to be somewhat as follows: Demonstrations and national tension had risen steadily since the signing of the Axis pact Tuesday at Vienna by Premier Dragisha Cvetkovich and Foreign Minister Alexander Cincar-Markovitch. About 2:20 a. m. this morning a coup d'etat was carried out in which the oppositionists, aided by the anti-Nazi Army, seized power. Cvetkovitch and Cincar-Markovitch were reported arrested. Prince Regent Paul and his two associate regents resigned their posts and were said to have fled, possibly to Germany.

Air Chief Is Premier

The 17-year-old King Peter was proclaimed to hold full power although the regency technically still {had a few months to run. { The Premiership was taken by Gen. Richard Dusan-Simovich, head of the Jugoslav Air Corps and one of the leading army opponents of a deal with Germany. The important Croat leader, Vice Premier Vladimir Machek, who had stayed behind in Belgrade while the government heads went to Vienna, remained in office. This seemed to be most important since the Croat elements, although a minority in the polyglot Jugoslav kingdom, had been the leaders in demanding rapprochement with Germany. The Cabinet also included the two Ministers who quit their posts after voting against the accord with the Axiz and a carefully balanced group of Ministers representing all elements in the country, obviously picked to give the government the strongest and most united front possible.
