Greek Submission Hoped

No doubt the Axis hopes that Greece will submit to pressure as tamely as did Rumania but with such an object lesson before her eyes it is unlikely she will fall into the same trap. In this she has the support of the British guarantee backed by the British Navy.

While reports of German troops entering Bulgaria lack confirmation there are many stories regarding infiltration of German tourists. 1t is possible that an outlet to the Aegean sea at the expense of Greece is being offered by Germany to Bulgaria as a price of her following the example of Rumania but this would be small reward indeed for loss of sovereignty.
