Government.— The political administration of Croatia is now controlled by 8 county councils and 70 district councils. The supreme authority is vested in the autonomous govern ment in Zagreb whose chief is the ban. The whole constitutional life of the na tion is regulated by the Royal Constitution for mulated in the Croatio-Hungarian Agreement of 1868, by which the political relation between Croatia-Slavonia and Hungary was determined. At the head of the provincial government in Agram stands the ban who is appointed by the Hungarian Prime Minister, subject to the ap proval of the king. The local government con sists of three ministries, Interior, Worship and Education and Justice. The Croatian Diet sends 40 delegates to the Hungarian Lower House and 3 to the Upper House. The parlia mentary responsibilities of the ban and the heads of the districts are defined in a special law. All other matters come under the juris diction of the joint Cabinet in Budapest. The financial relations between Croatia and Hungary were regulated by a special agreement whereby Croatia receives 44 per cent of her income for the defraying of her autonomous expenses, the remaining 56 per cent being reserved for the joint treasury to meet all joint expenses.
