Greece Warned Make No Alliances
Britain Try Sign Greece, Turkey Against Aggressors
Wm. Lopp, Father Alaska Reindeer Industry Dead
Germany Warns
Greece Keep Out
Of Alliances
UNDATED, April 11 (/P) —
Greece is the focal point of
world concern on the possibl
es of war and the chances for
ipeace. France and Great Britain
leared that a partnership be
tween Berlin and Rome might
riirrct the expansion drive to
ward Greece, now that Italian
troops have invaded Albania.
Athens newspapers, however,
announced that the “Italian gov
ernment gave Greece catagoric
assurances” to respect the integ
•j’ity of Greece, including the Ad
riatic island of Corfu.
The Fascist press charged Brit
ain and France had made new
plans to encircle the axis pow
ers, reporting that the British
themselves might fortify Corfu.
The German controlled press
advised Greece and Yugoslavia
that ^h$y would be in danger
“only if they let themselves be
(misused.” This was seen as a
warning to stay out of the Brit
ish and French sponsored defen
sive anti-aggression alliance.

Britain Wishes
Pledge Greece and
Turkey in Entente
UNDATED, April 12 (/Pi —The
British government undertook
new efforts to protect the Med
iterranean trade routes and em
pire possessions in the Orient.
The general appearance of a war
like tension throughout the
world, especially since the Ital
an conquest of Albania, spurred,
the British to action.
London informants said Cham
berlain would announce in the
House of Commons tomorrow
that Britain would consider it as
an “unfriendly act" if any ag
gression is made against Greece
or Turkey.
The French government decid
ed that Daladier will also make a
declaration of France’s position
tomorrow, almost at the same
time that Chamberlain is expect
ed to be speaking in London. In
Paris, the cabinet gave final for
mal approval of drastic decrees
strengthening the national de
fense decress already being put
in operation.
In London, it is expected that
Britain will reserve the right to
decide what constitutes aggres
sion, the decision, which in the
case of the pledge to fight fof
Polish independence, would be
left to Poland, London informants
said the reason for the reserva
tion was that Chamberlain hoped
that Italy would gaurantee, that
having taken Albania, the Med
iterranean status quo would be
kept.
The Italian government yester
day sent a note of assurance to
Greece.
Britain hoped to make a pledge
with Greece and Turkey on the
basis of a wider Balkan alliance
be brought into the British*
French and Polish entente.
