Mr. Alexander Devine in his Notes on Montenegro, No. 3
(published by the author at Winchester), asserts that there is a Southern Slav intrigue against the independence of Montenegro, and that " the voice of Montenegro and any efforts to champion her cause have been throttled." We are sure that the British Press and the Press Bureau are innocent of any designs against Montenegro. The extreme difficulty of obtaining trustworthy news from the little State is openly confessed by the Allies at the Peace Conference, who do not know enough about the situation in Montenegro to be able definitely to assign her a delegate. If the Allied Governments are imperfectly informed. the Press and the public may be excused for their apparent indifference. The future destiny of Montenegro must be deter. mined by the Montenegrins. If they desire union with the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, King Nicholas, we imagine, would not and could not stand in their way.
