London. June 18.
The British Government in a note to the Yugoslav Minister in London places on record "its sense of indignation at the shameless manner in which Yugoslavia has been mutilated and parts of her territory subjected to foreign rule in-a gross violation of the true feelings of the Yugoslav people."
The British Government takes note of Yugoslav protests at the dismemberment of the country by the Axis, It recalls the Yugoslav notes of May 14 and 28 calling attention to the illegal proclamation of "independent Croatia which represented a camouflaged annexation to Italy of Croatia and the brutal dismemberment of the Slovene people."
The British note declares that these acts by the German and Italian Governments are null and void and states that the British Government will continue to support the Government of King Peter LI as the only duly accredited representative of Croatia, Slovenia and other parts of the Yugoslav state—Reuter.
