PARIS. August 17.-Upon the de-
parture for the United States Of the

msnt concerning the kings envoy and
Montenegros part in the war was
given today by Riya Radovitch. for
merly premier of Montenegro and
minister of foreign affairs. now presi-
dent Of the Montenegrin committee
for national unity:
"Out of consideration for the Monte
negrin people, the government OF the
United States has given its consent
that that country shall be represented
officially in Washington. Unfortunate
" this noble intention mfsses its aim.
King Nicholas not only asked for a
separate peace. but he abandoned his
doned the national policy.
Desire Place in Jugo-slav State.
Serbian race. desire to form part OF
the Jugo-Slav state together with
Croatians, Slovenes and other Serbs.
Unfortunately the dynasty is op-
posed to such union. King Mich
olas' recent declaration, destined to
serve as q passport for the new min
lister on his arrival in the United
States, cannot deceive any one. The
claim to form part of the Jugo-Slav
union. which We know in advance to
be inadmissible In reality. only serves
as a pretext for the re-establishing of
Montenegro as a dynastic fief. Such a
dynastic policy is upheld in occupied
Montenegro by yAustria-Hungary.
Calls Minister Unsuitable.
TN my capacity as the authorized
representative of more than forty
Montenegrin organizations in Europe
and America, I wish to draw the at
tention Of the American public to the
fact that an emiesary of the personal
policy has been sent to Warrington.
1t is needless to insist on the insult
ability OF the minister himself, who
is not a Montenegrin subject. or on
the unreIability Of the legation stan,
which is composed Of students.
I'VE hope the American government
will investigate the policy Of this
mission and the composition OF the
legation and. that 1t will take the re-
suit Of its inquiry into consideration
before receiving the minister, who is
in no way desired by the Montenegrin
people. The policy upheld by our
enemies should not be upheld BY our
friends"
