New Cabinet

At Belgrade the bitter struggle for political supremacy between the "national minorities"* of Jugoslavia and the "parent kingdom" of Serbia, to which they were joined after the War, was violently renewed. Former Premier Pashitch (Serbian leader of the highly reactionary "Radical" /- Government party) attempted to strike at his archenemy, Stefan Raditch (Croatian champion of the "national minorities"), by causing the ejection from the Radical party of M. Liuba Jovanovitch (leader of the "young Radicals," who secretly sympathize with Croat Raditch).

The effect of this expulsion was not, as Pashitch intended, to discomfit the expelled Jovanovitch and his friend Raditch, but rather to cause a general anti-Radical reaction, which obliged the 15-day-old Radical Cabinet (TIME, April 19) of Premier Uzunovitch to resign. M. Uzunovitch reformed his Cabinet at once, but was forced to welcome into it Croat Raditch, as Minister of Education. The new Cabinet is thus a completely unstable "dog and cat coalition," like the last Pashitch Cabinet (TIME, April 12).

*Croatia, Montenegro, Bosnia, Herzegovina, etc.

/-As elsewhere in Europe, "Radical" continues to be the name of a party which ceased to be "radical" in fact after it gained power.
