Accordingly Yugoslavia talked as tough as she could. Yugoslavia pointedly remained outside last week's signing bee and the Skoplje newsorgan Glas Juge (Voice of the South) addressed a stern warning to Bulgaria, whose Parliament began talking of revisionist claims against Yugoslavia. ''The question of Macedonia was settled on the battlefields. Nevermore will the Valley of Vardar be detached from Yugoslavia." That strategic valley is a link in the most convenient route from central Europe to strategic Salonika...
...democratic Swiss resentment boiled last week and parties representing 126 out of the 187 seats in the Swiss National Council issued a statement publicly regretting that the President had received the Nationalists.

Producing a brand-new term to baffle international lawyers, Arriba declared that Spain was now a "moral belligerent...
...Berlin the personal newsorgan of the Führer screamed that German schoolboys in Yugoslavia were being foully picked upon. All over the Balkans last week little nations quaked at what the Axis might do and the Slavic Balkans were drawn to hope that Russia might provide a counterweight. But assurance of Russian aid to Yugoslavia which would have no easy time getting there was still more hope than holler...
