London, To-day. Reports from the Yugoslav fron- tier arouse fears that Yugoslavia may be the centre of the next European crisis, writes a Special Correspondent of the "News Chro- nièld” from Bélgrade.

He adds that it is reliably ..re- ported that Italians in Albania- and Germans in the region of the Slovene borders are moving and massing troops and materials in a highly suggestive manner. „

Leading political and military. circles in Belgrado fear that the Axis Powers may soon bring pres- sure to bear on Yugoslavia to as- sure that her "neutrality" in case of war would be a highly benefl- cial type, economically, and strate gically.

Yugoslavia would be expected, inter alia, to allow her roads and railways to be used for Axia mil- itary purposes..

It is certain that Yuguoslavia will not agree.

It is expected, therefore, that within the next few weeks terrific press campaigns will be followed by more dangerous moves' which Germany and Italy will begin against "disloyal". Yugoslavia.--- Reuter.
