Gloom

King Alexander declined to follow ex-Premier Nikola Pashitch's advice to call new elections. He sent for M. Yovanovitch, President of the Narodna Skupshtina (National Assembly) and asked him to form a Cabinet.

M. Yovanovitch said he would try and went his way trying to coax a coalition Government into existence. No one was hopeful, no one gave him any encouragement, all was gloom; but M. Yovanovitch went on trying.
