LONDON, Mar, 17 (Reuter),—There are authentic indications that German plans met a setback in Yugo-Slavin and a first con- sequence has been to slow down whatever action Germany con- templated against Greece,
Germany's primary alm of securing the right of transit through the Vardar valley and, as a second alternative, of securing of Yugo-Slavin's benevolent, non-belligerency by joining her to the
Axis pact, both seem to have been resolutely resisted.
