E. B. Simpson, Mp. Phone 7300 Three Million Soldiers Wait Spread Of European War To Balkan Neutrals By HARRY LEVIN Central Press Writer NEW YORK CITY, May will World War II extend to the Bal- cans and southeastern Europe, hls- cockpit of the continent's age- ess rivalries? Poised for instantaneous battle eight remaining European neutrals vith an aggregate population of 250,000,000 people and 30,000,000 potential armed men, await the hour when the blitzkrieg and "Fifth Columns" the "go ahead" signal in the Balt ans'. Italy, Hungary and Bulgaria, playing along with Hitler.

Yugoslavia and Rumania as the fated sacrifices, reece and Turkey, ready to cast their-lot with the Allies and Egypt. Powerful, silent Russia almost a spectator, but not quite. Most important, say objective experts, is the way Mussolini will make Italy jump. Daily, anti-Allied sentiment increases, led by the Fascist propaganda machine. New reserve classes are being called to the colors hourly.

The powerful Italian fleet maneuvers menacingly off the Yugoslavian and Greek coasts, almost in the shadow of the Allied squadrons based along Egyptian shores. Mussolini boasts an army of eight million men and an air force ready to sweep the Franco-British fleet from the Mediterranean, as Hitler's planes chased the English men-of-war from the North sea. Neighbors Eye Yugoslavia First and foremost of II Duce's proclaimed foes is Yugoslavia. With land frontiers on the north, with the Adriatic patroled by Mussolini's warships and planes, with Albania, the Italian-controlled "dagger," on her flank, Yugoslavia mobilizes her tough, but underequipped, army and waits fearfully. Possessing a population of 16,000,000, Yugoslavia, a satellite state of France, emerging from World War I with huge gains in area and inhabitants, she can muster an army of 1,500,000.

But Yugoslavia lacks modern weapons, transportation and unity of people. Serbian overlords only recently began to ameliorate their oppressive rule over Croat, Slovene and Macedonian minorities within her borders. Should Hitler give the blitzkrieg signal in the Balkans, Yugoslavia, it is held, would be invaded by Italy, laifti-hungry for 22 years, by impoverished Bulgaria, dismembered to enlarge Yugoslavia, and by Hungary, which also nurses Bulgaria's resentment. Bulgaria, sliced to. a scant 40,000 square miles by 1919 treaties, when This "map shows the probable lineup of Balkan nations If the war spreads southeastward as 1 expected.

Italy, Hungary and Bulgaria' are assigned to Germany's camp, Greece and Turkey lean toward the Allies, and Yugoslavia and Rumania probably will'be caught In the. middle. tlnue the. present of reciprocal trade McGregor asserted that a -trade agreement with Russia enabled that country to ship to the United Stales 400,000 tons of coal each year to compete with "our coal miners and coal operators." "In this day," he said, "we are pursuing a high-price high-wage American standard of living. If these prices, these wages, are.

to be maintained, we can not, in al! seriousness, carry on at the same time a foreign trade 'policy which provides for 'imports of commodities produced under conditions such as low wages, long hours, and a low standard of living. "The American market belongs to the American farmer, the American worker, and the American manufacturer. Our markets are the best in the world; they are a prize; they belong to the people who developed American people." COTTONS fOR SPORTSWEAR For perfect summer comfort cottons!

Flattering SMART ALLS she was forced to surrender territory to Greece and Yugoslavia and cut off from the Agean sea, has an army off 300,000 and much modern German equipment. Also, Bulgaria has the most pro-Russian nation, despits traditiinal Balkan fear of Communist indoctrination.

Hungary, recently enlarged at the expense- of Czechoslovakia, borders Yugoslavia to the northeast. With a population of 11,000,000, the Magyars can put 500,000 men into the field. But her equipment, like, most Balkan powers, is scanty, and much of it is One of the biggest fears of the Hungarian ruling class, however, is he fact that the great plains of their country lie athwart the" Nazi pathway, to rich Rumania. Should Hitler decide to use Hungary as a front door, her pro-Nazi friendship and own interests would cut no ice. Rumania Rich Prize Richest prize in the Balkans, of course, is Rumania.

A weak Danubian kingdom, she came out of World War with population and area almost doubled by slices from Bulgaria, Hungary and Russia. The land has 20,000,000 inhabitants, great fertile fields, and the largest oil production in western Europe. Rumania, too, has fostered ah oppression of minorities like Yugoslavia, that has earned her no good will from hostile neighbors. Should the war spread to the Mediterranean, many observers feel that -Hitler, plus Rumania's enemies, will destroy King Carol's large, ill-trained and badly squipped army jn one swift blitzkreig, if the country resists. And there is Soviet Russia, who has riever relinquished a claim-to Bes- sarabia -which Rumania seized in 1920.

Bordering threatened Yugoslavia and Rumania, but ostensibly- pro-Ally or wisely neutral, are Greece and Turkey. Ruled by a pro-Nazi dictator. Gen. -John Metaxas, Greece stands somewhat aloof and confused in the Balkan boiling pot. However, Italy's insistence upon Mediterranean domination makes her puppet state, Albania, a thorn in the side of Athens.

Should the Allies come to Rumania's or Yugoslavia's assistance, Italy may overrun Greece to prevent use of her bases by Franco-British warships. With a population of but 7,000,000, Greece boasts she can put 600,000 men into the field, but soldiers, equipment, air force and naval units are second-rate. Turkey Pro-Ally Turkey, playing a pro-Ally game since the death of Dictator Kemal Ataturk, is partially safeguarded by geography from- the Rome-Berlin axis. But Turkey announced that an attack on weak Greece would bring her tough, but badly-equipped army of 1,000,000 soldiers into the fray. Brooding above the entire Balkan cauldron is the Soviet TJnion, fresh from victory over Finland, with an army equal in size to the entire peninsular forces.

Pro-Bulgaria, with even harassed Yugoslavia discarding her 22-year-old hatred of Communism, Russia suddenly looms as the peace protector of the Balkans. And across the Mediterranean lies England's puppet. Egypt, bordering on Italy's African c-irpire, ready to cut off in an instant II Duce's own lifeline to some 500,000 seasoned troops now in Africa. In French Syria, too, waits an Allied army of 300,000 under General Weygand, ready to block any' change in the Balkan status quo. The Balkans are neutral.

But in the words of a 'current European joke, "Neutral against -whom?"

Harry McGregor CR-Ohio) wants congress to restudy the effect of foreign competition on American labor, agriculture and industry. He contends that the government, still grappling with the unemployment problem, is overlooking a chance to solve it by curtailing importation of products available at home.

McGregor Is using the house record in an effort to convince his colleagues that reciprocal trade agreements have cut millions -from the farmer's income and the worker's wages, and slowed down Industry's output. Giles Cheap Labor "The preservation of our American markets for our American agriculture, labor and industry, to the end that unemployment and the burdens of our people may be reduced, is the aim of all," said the Ohio first termer "It is impossible to serve two masters. No member of congress can serve cheap labor in foreign land and at the same time serve ou 10,000,000 unemployed working men and women who want jobs and can not find them." on the basis of commerce department figures, McGregor sand. "In effect," McGregor declared, 'through the state department we subsidize farmers in foreign lands to produce more for the American market, while through the department of agriculture we subsidize the American farmers to produce less for the American market and to throw away -what foreign markets he had left." McGregor listed pottery among industries affected adversely by the trade program. Belong To American People More than 60 per cent of the total cost of pottery is the labor he added.

"The average wage paid in American pottery is 75 cents an hour. The chief competitor in American markets of the American pottery industry is Japan where the Japanese potter is paid an average of four cents an hour. How can we expect to keep our potteries going state dropped to $314,000,000 in 1939. and our potters employed in we con- Ohio farmers, he added, were losing millions of dollars each year as I a result of trade agreements permit- ting imports of agriculture products. $360,000,000 in cash income of all fanners in the Buckeye Girls 1 SMART Smart, sturdy overalls for hard play!
