Herr Hitler Adopts A New Line
HUNGARY PUT UP TO APPROACH YUGOSLAVIA
(By Reuter's Diplomatic Correspondent)
THE SURPRISING offer of closer rela- tions made by Count Csaky, Hungarian For- eign Ministër, on behalf of Hungary to Yugo- slavia suggests the Axis will now turn its at- tention to Yugoslavia.
Direct approach having failed in the cases of Russia, Spain and Bulgaria, Germany is apparently making an oblique movement through a satellite of the Axis with the object of gauging the strength of Yugoslav resist-
ance.
HONGKONG
BOY WOUNDED
According to the result of these. feelers the Germans will use either cajolry or threats. There is nothing to show what the Yugoslav reaction will be but there has undoubtedly been a stiffening in the attitude of all Balkan countries, · except Ru- manía, since Greece's magnificent. effort against Italian aggression.
There are indications that Yugoslavia has been in toučn with the Turks and. also has thrown its own weight into the scale to check Axis Intrigues in Bulgaria.

Word was yesterday received in Hong Kong by his daughter, Mrs. Iris Prew, wife of Mr. A. G. F. Prew of the staff of the Diocesan Boys' School; to the effect that her brother Victor, now a Pilot- Officer in the Royal Air Force, has
been slightly wounded in action.
Both the Frith boys, who were educated at Diocesan Boys' School, are now in the R.A.F., having joined up before the war. Victor is the eldest and has been a Pilot-Officer since 1937. Last letter received from him by Mrs. Prew stated that he was in Egypt, where he has spent most of his service, and it is logical to as- sume, therefore, that his wound was received in action against the Italians.

rather like an admonition from a fox which has already lost its own tail.
In other respects the' Hun" garian Foreign Minister's speech sounded rather like an apology for the decision of his Govern•. ment to link its fortunes with the Axis.
His admission that Hungary has taken a "certain risk" indicated the measure of doubt at the back of his mind. Reuter

GOEBBELS BEGINS BODYLINE BOWLING
THE TUMBRILS of revolution will soon be rolling in the streets of London and the English are crazy and will soon collapse or so Dr. Goebbels' bright little Propaganda Boys are trying to convince themselves and anyone else who bothers to listen to them.
A very significant item of news was, for instance, broadcast by Bremen Radio yester- day to show that the revolution is even now knocking at the gates of London.
