CONFERENCE

Civil Air Services Discussion

•

The Government organ declares that Yugo-Slavia is not allied with Germany but is also not in alliance against Germany.

An Opposition Labour motion proposed to re- duce the period to six months on the ground that any the Anglo-American agreement would involve modification of Imperial preference, and that there- fore it would be a mistake to tie the Government's hands for a year.

When Baron von Neurath arrived in Sofia he was received by the Premier and Foreign Minster, M. Kiosseivanoff, a representative of King Boris, diplomats and other prominent personalities.-Reuter.
