Belgrade Wants toSra^ I render by Degrees; Greeks Smash Italian I Offensive Belgrade, Yugoslavia, Hank 12. Yugeelavia, the last Balkan state un committed to eater the great belli gerents, has agreed "in principle" to sign op with the Genoaa-Italian fopgneae alliance, government cir cles said tonight, bat wants more time before the pen is put irrevoca bly to the paper. After hours of urgent conferences, Regent Prince Paid and Mr advisers were understood to have decided to give in, bat made these counter proposals to the German demands. 1. That Yugoslavia sign immedi ately only a declaration of friend ship with Germany and thus be-al lowed a transition period* before going all the way, to try to modify pro-British sentiment in this coun try in an effort to avowi possible in ternal- trouble. 2. That the German and Yugoslav governments have a further discus sion of Nasi demands for the de mobilization of the Yugoslavian army, for a guarantee that the Yugo slavs will make "no military moves," and for the right to pass troops through southeastern Yugoslavia from Bulgaria into Greece. This form of capitulation, it was understood, was made upon repre sentations by military leaders to Prince Paul that military resistance was impossible since the country is all but surrounded by Axis areas. German Demands. The fall list of the German de mands, as reported here by a neu tral diplomat, was this: 1. Demobilization of the Yugoslav army?against which it was under stood the army high command was strongly arguing. 2. Complete German control of the country's economic life, transport, and communication. 3. The Nazi to have the right to ship war material through Yugo slavia, presumably reserving the lines in Bulgaria and Rumania for the movement of troops. 4. Germany to have the right to paaa troopa through this country, if deemed necessary ? apparently a hard condition to the government - here. 5. Yugoslavia formally to sign the Axis pact The long period of " diplomatic maneuvering that preceded the gov ernment's decision made the entire nation nervous.
