When Ahmed Beg Zogu drove
Bishop Fan Noli outs of Tirana into
Italy and himself took power it
was expected that Zogu would not
last long. The opposition to ZoYu
is now strengthened. 1t is stated.
Kennal Beg Vroni has come to

opposition to Zogu, and 1t is claim
ed that he Is steadily winning over
Zogu supporters. 1t is whispered
in Balkan circles that Vrioni IL

The Vrioni movement is being
supported by alien refugees. Pc.
culiarly enough, when Zogu nnarcD
ed into Tirana he had as his sap
porters many of these same refu-
gees-merl without countries who
wander about the Balkans, willing
to enter upon any new venture
which may afford them excitement
or emolument.
Economic depression has added
to the political difficulties Of Zogu's
government and has nurtured un-
rest In some districts. 1t is re-
ported, there is q food shortage
which approaches famine. The gov.
eminent has found it difficult to
collect taxes, and thus it has been
difficult to meet state expenditures.
Zogu's position is unenviable, as
will be the position Of his ultimate
successor.
