...Philip went to London Airport to meet his aunt, the Queen of Sweden, and her royal husband Gustaf Adolf. Exiled Prince Paul of Yugoslavia came, and was whisked off by his sister-in-law the Duchess of Kent-just in time to avoid meeting Yugoslavia's Communist President Ribar. Francisco Franco's Foreign Minister got in from Lisbon just before the Pretender to the Spanish throne. The King and Queen of Denmark steamed into Harwich harbor under an escort of British destroyers...

Mihailovich has been in contact with some of the minor Partisan groups. But the main Partisan force, headed by ex-Lawyer Ivan Ribar (TIME, Feb. 8), was still aloof, and the chances of real unity were therefore small.
