The Jugoslav Cabinet The reconstruction of the Jugoslav Cabinet is
less fundamental than had been hoped. The Prime Minister, M. Ouzounovitch, remains, and while he has strengthened his Ministry by including General Zhivkovitch as Minister for. War, thus putting the support of the army behind the Cabinet, and also Dr. Marinkovitch, whose experience as a former Premier and Foreign Minister will be valuable, he has brought .into his fold neither the Radicals nor Father Koroschetz, the Slovene leader. Even without thein the new Ministry has a broader basis than its predecessor, and it is credited with the intention of puttuing a .policy of unification, Meanwhile the Jugo- slay Press is breaking into provocations, which cannot be too strongly condemned, -against Hungary. It was precisely this outburst of Press polemics which before King Alexander's murder strained the situation between Jugoslavia and Italy almost to breaking-point. And now the same nefarious weapons are being employed against Hungary. The activities of the Croat terrorists at the farm of Yanka-Puszta, just across the Hungarian frontier, naturally caused alarm and indignation, but there is no evidence as yet that Hungary is deliberately sheltering assassins, or failing in a reasonable response to the demand for the surrender of certain notorious figures.
