RATTLING THE SABRE Bevin on sideline

ATTACKS ON YUGOSLAVIA

London, July 17.

Sabro rattling-on old European summer sport—is keeping Europe in a- perpetual state of jitters. The Korean war has put much more omin- ous meaning into the traditional summor military manoeuvres. To date there is no. official confirmation that the marching of troops in various countries in Eastern Europe, curfews on frontiers and talk of war and other incidents are any more than continuation of the war nerves which the Cominform hos turned on and off at will for..o long. time.

But if it is only a war of nervøs it is succeeding in keeping nervos in a tanso state. Everyone expects other incidents somewhere along the long periphery of the Russian empire.

NO RESPONSE TO UN APPEAL Great Britain may send "token force"

London, July 16.

The United Nations appeal for aid to South Korea, sont to 53 non-Communist nations last Friday, has so far brought no promise of military as- sistance for General MacArthur's outnumber- ed and retreating forces.

Early reactions showed that many countries, while supporting the United Nations' action over Korea, feel that their forces are needed for their own defence or for other existing com- mitments overseas.
