NAZI STRATEGY
IN BALKANS
Seek To Drive A Wedge
(By “Reuter's" Diplomatic Correspondent) LONDON, Apr. 8.-The statement in the Greek official communique that the Yugo-Slavs had fallen back on the Greek left wing, leaving it "uncovered," suggests that the Germans France are pursuing the same strategy in the Balkans as in where their drive against the "hinge" of the French and Belgian lines forced a wedge between the north and south Allied armies with results which the world knows.
It would seem that the Germans arc now attempting to establish themselves between the Greeks and the Yugo-Slava by a lateral thrust along the Strumitza Valley which, it successful, would give access to the Vardar Valley.

It might even be pushed to the Albanian borders so as to link up with the Halians.

BRITAIN'S BUDGET.
Sir Kingsley Wood's 1941-42 war budget, so grimly realistic, yet revealing once again the as- tonishing clasticity of Britain's finances, is sufficient to turn Hitler green with envy, should that smug, self-complacent man w bother to study the figures. The essential features are that Britain is not only going to the fullest lengths possible to pay for the war as it progresses, but is also providing for the impor- tant post-war period when: a) nation's resources.are usually_at. its lowest ebb. Under the 1941- 42 budget, Britain is to start building a sinking fund which is to guarantee her economic and social security when the days of peace are here again.
