BALKANS SECOND FRONT
• POSSIBILITY IF ROMMEL SMASHED.
P.A. Gable.
NEW YORK, Oct. 25.
The possibility of a second front in the Balkans next spring is widely canvassed, says the Christian Science Monitor's Istanbul correspondent: Informed quarters point out that the Balkans, where armed revolt is still continuing, Yugoslavia and even Greeee are the weakest points for the Axis in Europe. A Balkan front against the Axis will become a distinct probability if the United Nations are able to smash Rommel. Diplomats in Turkey have learned that King Boris is increasingly nervous about Bulgaria's future and is preparing a way for an about face in favour of the United Nations, but whether the Allies would accept his offer is another question. Travellers report that many Bulgarian officers openly state that they would fight with the Allies against Hitler if they landed in the Balkans. People are beginning to ask when the' United Nations are going to land troops. 1
