Minority Demands Granted

Berlin, Aug. 28.

"Germania," the organ of the Catholic Clerical Centre Party, carries a report from Belgrade stating that the Jugo-Slav Government had decided to grant a number of demands put forward by the German national minority where treatment at the hands of the Belgrade a: thorities was recently made the ssu! ject of a number of complaints with the League of Nations.

Among the most important concessions granted is one enacting a regulation that the consent of the parents and not the decision of the school authorities wil forth be decisive in settling whether child will be allowed to atten} the Jugo-Slav class. However the. German school instead of "Germazia" gives this aport under every reserve, adding the comment that Belgrade's attitude wards the German minority hitherto inspires hope rather than confi lence that this effort is really serious meant and not merely intended to remain a scrap of paper.
