ed limits would not apply to

RECOGNITION
OF ALBANIA
ABANDONED
WASHINGTON. Nov. 8. (U.R)—
The State Department says this
country has given up as hopeless
its efforts to find a basis for rec-
ognizing Albania.
The United States political
mission to Albania is being with-
drawn because the State Depart-
ment savs it no longer can serve
any useful purpose by remaining
in Albania.
The I'nited States proposed
recognition of the Albanian re-
gime of Premier Enver Hoxha on
November 10.1945. But it was
specified as a condition that the
government accept all bilaterial
treaties which were in force with
the I'nited States as of the date
of the Italian invasion of Albania.
The department says the Hox-
ha regime has refused to recog-
nize treaties made between this
government and the prewar re-
gime of King Zog.
