BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, P‘ebruu’yi 22 —Violence in the kingdom cf ut-| tle Feter 11 ias caused Prince Paul, chief regent and defender of Yugo-! slavia, to break a rigid rule and lash out publicly in condemnation of riot- ing which has taken 16 lives in two days. For years the young and reserved Prince Paul has refused to give out press interviews. In this exclusive interview he ex- pressed fervent hope that his people “will see the folly of bloodshed and bullets to gain their ends.” The clashes Tuesday and Wednes- day were the results of a heated pre- election campaign in which govern- ment oppositionists hope to gain for the Croats and Slovenes a greater voice in the nation’s affairs.

Equal Opportunity Pledged. “If the people only will have patience to wait until May 1,” sald Paul, sorrow- fully, “I am sure they will all have equal opportunity to participate in the approaching elections. “The rule in this country is no longer dependent upon the will or caprice of two or three men. In a country composed of so many diver- gent elements as Yugoslavia, we must have equal voice in government if the nation is to remain strong and united. ‘That is why the regency sactioned the new elections in May.” “I am sure, continued the prince, who absorbed many British Liberal traditions of government during his Oxford training, “that the Croats and the Slovens will see the wisdom of remaining united with the Serbians rather than attempt a separation or embrace an alien rule.

Prince Paul was dressed in the uniform of an army general, but his youthful buoyancy lent him the ap- pearance of an American university sophomore.
