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.
