YUGOSLAV SCHISM

Problem For Government* in-Exile

LONDON, December 5. Responsible Yugoslav circles in London are of opinion that the creation of a provisional Government on liberated Yugoslav territory is likely to have farreaching effects on the position of the Yugoslav Cabinet in Cairo, says the Exchange Telegraph, agency. Reports reaching London from Cairo indicate that the position of the Cairo Cabinet is felt to have become untenable, in British as well as in Yugoslav circles.

It is believed that Dr. Branko Cu’brilovic, who was a member of the last Yugoslav Cabinet formed in London, will be called on to form a new Cabinet on a broad basis, which may share Government 'business with the provisional Government. It is also learned that the Cairo Cabinet today dismissed all Yugoslav Press department officials in London, who were installed after the Cabinet upheaval on March 37, 1041, which was responsible for the overthrow of Prince Paul.

The Royal Yugoslav Government, after meeting in Cairo today, repudated the new temporary Government reported to have been formed within Yugoslavia. The Royal Government issued a statement saying: “The new movement of terroristic violence in no way represents the Yugoslavs’ democratic conceptions. The new movement has resulted from enemy propaganda, to the success of which, unfortunately, the Allies have contributed a great deal.”
