General Loncarevic said that Yugoslav industry was now supplying the Army, but if the security of the country required it, arms and equipment would

Yugoslavs need not be afraid, he added, because today "the whole of peace-loving humanity would be on our side in the event of an aggression against us,"

"When arms are available, and the possibilty of training German forces exists, there will be time enough to secure the binding approval of the Bonn government, and by then un- doubtedly there will be forces in motion to make that approval the more likely. Mobilisation of the Western community, the presence of American forces in dubstantial numbers, and the general lift and the direction which General Eisenhower's. leadership may be expected to give, will all contribute to an atmosphere of confidence and a resolve in which a wise deci~- sion by the Germans can be made.
