In spite of every effort on the part of the National Committee of
London to reach an agreement with Dr. Vladko cek, it is reported
that little progress is being made. The main barrier appears to
be the difficult conditions still being imposed by ?aeek in connec-
tion with his Plans for the Confederation of the Croat, Slovene and
garb States,, particularly as regards the frontiers of the Croat
tate?
Macek has countered a letter from Dr. Jovanovich, asking him to
visit London,, by inviting two or three delegates from `ovanovich? s
London Committee to visit him in. Paris to discuss programs.

iti discussing the mtter .u th Serb ex-ministers Dr.. Caslav Ni.:itovich
and Dr. Bravo Mi1jus in Paris, stated that Krnjevich could in no
way affect conversations between him, as head of the party,, and. the
London Committee.
Dr. Ivan Pernar. former Croat deputy and Macek's representative in
Rome., has, on the strength of demands received by him from Croatia,
urged Macek to form a Yugoslav Committee (to include Serbs_.. Croats
and Slovenes) as early as possiblo in order to intensify iae do
against Tito.

and is re-gairaea by the Serbs as more clear-sighted
in regard to the situation in Yugoslavia than Krn je-
vich who is anti-Bert and has always been a stumbling
block in the way of closer Serb-Croat union.)
