I Igeneral business 'activity 1 1 teyaJ.I Ajfmnmi llllt; (j TOP PACTS Diplomats Busy Fearing Re vival, of Germany's Push to East Specter Is Serv ing to Unify Peninsula By FREDERICK KLH United Press staff Correspondent LONDON.- (UP) Realization that Germany, already a strong economic unit, Is unlikely to recover her role a a great military power within a lew years, has stirred the Balkan to diligent political activity. Drowsily emerging from the leth argy of feudalism and not yet caught In the stream of western industrial ism, southeastern Europe la slow to react to new political currents. This may explain w.hy Hitler's assumption of the German government shook western Europe to Its foundations at least six months before Its reper ousslon was noticeable In the Bal kans. Last September, however, the Bal Otan governments began to rub their ayes, stretch and peer at the changes which the Nazi upheaval had wrought In the European political landscape. Pricking their ears, the Balkan dip lomats caught German words which had a faintly familiar ring. In pre-war days, WUhelm II was the exponent of what his professorial subjects termed German push-to-the-east (Drangnacft-Osten). German fln j anclal and economic prostration of southeastern Europe bore witness to the success of that policy, which was to have toeen crowned by the con struction of the Berlin-Bagdad rail way. But the war thwarted the frui tion of that ambitious project. Balkans Becoming Unified Since Hitlers rise to power, Ger many .has been enunciating slogans reminiscent of the Drank-nach-Osten. Just as the kaiser's policy of expan sion to the east rallied Serbia, Ru mania and. Polish Czechoelovaklan legionnaires to the allied banner, the specter of an eastward -pushing Ger many today la unifying the Balkan peninsula. Alfred Huge n berg, then Hitler's minster of economics, startled the World Economic conference, to which he waa a leading delegate, by pub lishing a memorandum, demanding an outlet for German energy and enterprise in eastern Europe. The Moscow government Interpreted this outburst aa a German bid for Soviet Ukraine territory; the Baltic states suspected Hitler of coveting their soil, and the Balkan nations heard echoes of the Drank-Osten, of which they bad been the o be Jets, f ' At the same time, Germany amelio rated her relations wit,h her "new traditional enemy," Poland. The promise given by Hitler to the Pol ish government, that Germany would not try to reotlfy her eastern fron tier by force, made the obtrusive " Polish Corridor danger recede Into the background. Her friendly rela tions with Poland, some contended, might enable Germany to concentrate her attention on other regions, such as the Ukraine and Balkans. Alienated auric Indeed, tfie alleged designs of Hit ler on Soviet Ukraine caused th So viet government to turn its back on Germany and seek friends among France and her allies. The Boosts were met more than half way by Poland, Rumania Czechoslovakia and Jugoslavia, all of which signed peace pacts with the Soviets last August. Turkey was both a party to these pacts and the Intermediary In bring ing them about. Russia aDProaoh to these Slav states, coupled with the recent Im provement of relations between Jugo. . slavla and Bulgaria, caused some wal- I ous commentators to speak and write of a revival of pan-Slavism. But to tuume that the Soviet regime In tends to adopt the aims and methods of czarlst russla in the Balkans is utterly to ignore the anti-imperialist policy of Moscow. It la precisely be cause the Balkan countries are con vinced that Russia does not covet an Inch of their soil that they are turn ing toward Moscow In a spirit of friendship after 16 years of mingled suspicion and .hostility.
