REUTER'S DIPLOMATIC
CORRESPONDENT LONDON, Mar. 25 (Reufer),—It would be idle to deny that the signa- ture by Yugo-Slavia of the Tripartite Pact marks n success for. German diplomacy, less for what the ngree- ment in its present shape is worth than for the opportunity it will give Germany of exploiting the, situation in her favour.
Yugo-Slavia has obtained what seem to be most favourable terms in the circumstances in return for her signature. She is exempted from the military clauses of the Tripartite
Pact.
At the moment, too, the right of transit in sealed waggons of war material und war wounded is of slight value, because while the Greeks hold the line to Salonika on the southern frontier, it cannot be used for tran- elt.
The railway route to Sofin via Nigh will be accessory to other means of
and the Rumunia transport via Danube. Therefore, it would not be likely to play an important role in the immediate future.
But the gravity of the step taken by Yugo-Siavia lies in the fact that it opens the door to German interven tion in internal affairs. The passage of German trains will necessitato the presence of German oficials and of special timetables In which the Ger- mans will have a preponderant voice. There will also be the risk of in- cidents serving pretext for ever growing control.
