BRITAIN’S REACTION
RECOGNITION OF ASSEMBLY (Rec. 10.30 p.m.) LONDON, Nov. 30. The Times diplomatic correspondent says that it was stated here last night that although some parts of the recent elections in Jugoslavia were not satisfactory, the British Government regards them in the main as reflecting the popular will, and will recognise the Constituent Assembly as. an elected body with sovereign rights. Queen Marie of Jugoslavia (the Queen Mother) has issued a statement: “My heart bleeds when I think that my peoples’ valorous fight in the war
against tyranny left them with no possibility of freely expressing their will. They have never had less freedom than to-day, although even the citizens of enemy countries have been given the right to express freely their will. I hope the day will come when my people will also have the right to share the fruits of victory over tyranny and become free citizens, freed from fear.”
