BRITAIN CANNOT INTERFERE
SENTENCE ON ARCHBISHOP Reeeivecl Tuesday, Noon. LONDON, Nov. 18, Britain finds it impossible to dispute the Yugoslav contention that the trial and sentence of Archbishop Stepinac was a domestic matter, said Major C. P. Mayhew, Under- Secretary to the Foreign Ofiice, replying in the House of Commons to questions. Major Mayhew added that he had received a number of petitions asking the Foreign Office to intervene on behalf of Archbishop Stepinac, but it had been decided that Britkin had no legal grounds for making official representations. Archbishop Stepinac was found guilty by a Yugoslav Tribunal on charges of urging the Catholic elergy and Croat people to collaborate with the Ustashi, of actively writing in a Fascist way as president of the Catholic Press, or serving the Ustashi in provoking racial hatred. He was sentenced to sixteen years' imprisonment with hard labour.
