courtesy in furnishing me with this
expression. of your views and to
reiterate the indignation of this
Government and the, American peo-
pie at the invasion and mutilation
of Yugoslavia by various member
states of the tripartite pact"
Mr.. Welles signed the note to Min
lister Fotitch for the Secretary of
State" and dated it May %. 1t was
in reply TO two notes from Minister
Fotitch May IL and May "a protest.
ing against the action with regard
to Croatia as violation of the
integrity of Yugoslav national ter
ritory."
Mr. Welles made it known that
the United States continues to rec
ognize that the kingdom of Yugo-
slavia exists today as it existed be-
fore its territory was invaded by
the Axis. Mr.. Welies wrote:
Il observe that the royal Yugo-
slav government desires to register
its most emphatic protest against
this unlawful action setting up the
Independent Croatian StateD of the
German Reich and considers null
and void all acts relating to the
creation of the independent state
OF Croatia the sole object of which
is to diSmember the national terri
tory of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. D."

Government agrees with the Off
cial YugoSlav attitude.
