An interesting recent development is a campaign by the Belgrade stu- dents with the slogan "We will de- fend the State." These students are well known for their strong democra- tic opinions. They come largely from poor families and have great prestige among the peasants, who understand and trust them. They represent a young generation discontented with the off- cial Opposition and determined to act. They have organised in the last weeks patriotic demonstrations in Serbia, Bosnia, and the Danube Province. The "enemy" was not defined and no allusions were made to politics, but everyone in the audience knew who was meant. In one case the police for- bade a meeting, but the Army, inter- vened to allow it! The close contact between the students and the military command, which is delighted with their collaboration, has greatly streng- thened the bond between the demo- cratic forces and the Army, which is coming to embody the aspirations of the whole Serbian people. Serbian peasant townsmen alike declare, "Our army will never allow a Hacha to be- tray our country to the enemy.” And, in fact, there are disquieting preced- ents in Serbian history for princes who try to force an anti-national policy against the united will of peo- ple and Army,

It is now officially declared in, Bel- grade that the discussions with Matchek were never broken off but marely postponed. It is probable that an attempt will be made soon to re- new them, but it will be more difficult. to reach an agreement now than it was before. If the Croatián question is not solved the international post- tion of Yugo-Slavia will grow steadi- ly worse. Whatever may have been discussed in. Berlin, there is no doubt that these are the issues at stake. The communique published at the end of the visit, with its emphasis on still closer political collaboration with the Axis Powers, has produced an unplea- sant impression in political quar- ters in Belgrade. When Stoyadinovitch -went to Berlin last year he insisted on including in the communique an allusion to "existing friendships with other States." This time this "Was omitted. It is thought that Prince Paul tried to avoid definite political com mitment to the Axis and that nothing more will come of the visit than "a' number of economic concessions. But postponement of the choice will not solve the fundamental dilemma in which he stands. Tear and contempt of his people prevent him from allow- ing political freedom and relying Bon the patriotic feeling of the masses. But if he persists in his present course he will bring ruin not only on his country but on himself.
