King Alexander
Not to Abdicate
King of Serbia Charterized as
Absurd Stories Forecasting
His Retirement.

Belgrade, Nov. 20 (By the A. P).-All
reports that King Alexander has any in
tention of abdicating may be put down
as pure fiction, he declared yesterday
The young Serbian ruler already has
taken the oath ITO support the constitu-
tlon and his coronation probably will
occur some time next summer.
The king, in an interview granted to
The Associated Press correspondent yes
terday, declared that stories forecasting
his abdication were quite as absurd as
other reports concerning him while in
Paris. His statement that he was in
excellent physical condition was borne
out by his appearance.
Alexander sought news of the Wash
ington arms conference and expressed
the wish for its fullest success.
Jugo Slavia welcomes the most cor
daily every step toward the avoidance
OF armed conflict in the future" he said
Like all other countries, we need peace,
to heal our grave wounds from the war.
and also enable US by the mutual effort
OF our united races to achieve our full
stature in the family of nations to which
our industry, our riches and our situa-
ton entitle u.s."
Asked his views concerning the decision
! of the allied council of ambassadors on
| the Albanian boundary dispute, the king
replied that it naturally had caused great
surprise and disappointment in Jugc
| upon rehedtion, would modify it's de-
cision so as to give greater justice and
| protection to Jugo Slavia.
| I'VE have no imperialistic ambitions ir
Albania or elsewhere he said. "Albanis
consists of poor. unproductive mountain
| land, and no part of it could add mate
rally to our wealth, or Importance. w,
seek only a strong boundary line which
will assure tus security and immunit!
from the constant incursions and violenc,
of the tribal group that make up tha
country"
It was a pity Alexander added. tina
Europe and America seemed SO slightI,
to understand Albania and the rea
character of its people.
IF you have been in Albania" Alex
ander said. you will know how extreme
ly primitive, rocky and inhospitable tn
country is. The government is weak an
without decisive authority the people ar
untutored, hostile and resentful.
THE country is made up largely o
tribal groupse which constantly are a
war, even among themselves. They ar
led by chiefs who rule by paternal right
Perhaps this is not unnatural in
people who for five hundred years hav
been kept in bondage by the Turks an
denied contact with western civiliz.ng in
fuences."
He emphasized his country's need for
strong natural barrier of mountains an
rivers. The king insisted that this woul
be the only effective means for keepin
out hostile border clans.
The young Slav monarch spoke appr,
ciatively of the sympathy Of the Unite
States for aiding in the creation of
unified state of the Serbs, Croats an
Slovenes. and also for the material hel
given by the American relief organize
ton.
